I completely forgot to take pictures of some things I made this weekend. In the midst of painting & finishing the guest bedroom/office & the holiday weekend, I think the camera was MIA.
Anyway, for our family BBQ on Sunday, I made Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole.

**This was very good, tasted like the real thing, but with much less fat & calories. DH didn't like the onions so next time I make it, I will omit 3/4's of them**
On Monday evening, some girlfriends & I decided we need to have a shin-dig for JT on HBO. He was amazing! Per usual, we made too much food for 4 girls.
I made a goat cheese guacamole per the request of my friend Kari. She had this at a Cleveland restaurant & wanted me to try to make it. I had the ingredients, just no recipe, so I winged it.
4 avocados
1 poblano chile
2 tomatoes
garlic clove (1 or 2)
S&P
At least 4 oz of goat cheese, I used 5.
Cilantro
Roast the poblano chile on 425 for about 25 minutes. Dice poblano chile. Core & pit avocados, mush with poblano chile. Add garlic & goat cheese. Mush together more. Add cilantro & tomatoes, stir. Quick taste & see what needs to be added. I added some S&P until it tasted just right.
This was very good, nice & creamy texture to the guacamole!
