    Avocado Lovers?

    And for those who don't know, if your making guacamole, keep that pit! Just chuck it on top and it keeps it from going brown for quite some time. Or if you only want half an avocado, leave the pit in the half you don't eat, wrap it up and it'll keep in the fridge for a day or 2.

    Curry Paste choices?

    I use all sorts of the Pataks pastes, they are great! I've made curries from scratch and the pastes are waaaayyy easier and just as tasty. I don't stick to the instructions on the jar ether. Like to add all sorts of veggies. More fun to be creative!

    Who's Trying to Lose Weight?
