Awesome Avocado Salad – Make Sandwiches Tastier With Vegetable Spreads for Pizzazz and Added Flavor

Awesome Avocado: Use as a spread, or eaten as a cold salad can really add a stream of fresh, zesty or ethnic flavor to your favorite turkey, chicken or ham sandwich! Enjoy eating sliced avocados, as a complete side salad. There are many abbreviated ways to make to sliced avocado, that does not take as much chopping, seeding or peeling and may be entertained for a quick avocado flavoring. You may add a spice combination of ground cumin, salt, pepper and chopped cilantro and of course, you can’t forget 1/2 a squeezed lemon or lime, extra virgin olive oil and vinegar, of your choice. Usually, I blend all of the above ingredients together in a small bowl and place, on the table, so that guests can add as much, or as little, according to taste. Remarkably, I find that avocados are a very versatile food, they can either be served chilled, or cut on-the-spot and eaten just as soon as you have peeled and added the spice and vinegar-oil combination above.

Enjoy and entertain cooking and seasoning your sandwiches, salads or side dishes with as many vegetable and spice combinations as you can create by blending a few different vegetable together.

Eating dishes blended with various colors has always been a way to keep me excited in meal preparation. Green avocados accompanied with chunks of red, ripe tomatoes and yellow chili peppers along with spices make for a tasty, colorful salad!

Mix your liquids and spices in a small bowl and set aside. Roast your peppers; chop your cilantro and parsley blend; peel and chop tomatoes.
Lastly, peel your avocado and set aside. Blend your liquid/spice mixture and lightly blend with your avocado, chili, cilantro, and tomato mixture, enjoy with warm, thinly, sliced bread or taco chips!

SUGGESTIONS:

2-3 medium-sized ripe avocados—
3 roasted, peeled, chopped and seeded yellow chili pepper, if yellow is unavailable, use green, or even large, long, red chili peppers.
1/2 cup chopped parsley, and cilantro
1 large peeled and seeded ripe,red tomato

Liquid mixture:

1 large lemon, juice only, squeeze your lemon in a lemon press, or face lemon toward your palm

A Restaurant Reviewers’s Worst Case Scenario

One of the most interesting things for a Restaurant Reviewer is having a pleasurable experience and then all of a sudden some unexpected thing occurs. After traveling around the United States and Canada for some 5-years I noticed that the service in some of the more respected restaurant chains was quite uneven.

Meaning not only was quality control at one extreme or the other or customer service hot or cold, but that consistency was quite varying from store to store or outlet to outlet. Sometimes the service was fantastic, sometimes ho-hum and on rare occasion horrific. Let me tell you some theories I developed after taking Restaurant News, Franchising Times and C-Store News for years, while also traveling and seeing it all for my self.

Eating More Salad Is Savory to the Palate and a Valid Source of Vitamins and Fiber

Salads are a great way for beginning any lunch or dinner meal. I find that due to cold and allergy season, I am less drawn to cold foods and more drawn to comfort foods. SO, what do I do? I entertain different ways of making salads more of a comfort food to appease the taste of me and my family that are still creative, comforting and healthy! I also find ways of adding fruit to my salad, whenever feasible, to increase my daily intake of fruits, grains and fiber.

How to Build a Beach Body For a Hardgainer

As a hardgainer, I like to share my personal experience on how to build a beach body naturally without the use of drugs or expensive supplements. A hardgainer is someone who has a very difficult time gaining weight no matter what that person does. I remember losing weight while eating fast-food almost every single day even when I was around 135 pounds at 5’7″. The biggest problem with some of the hardgainers is that they are afraid to eat TOO much. They think they will get fat, but the funny thing is that they can’t even gain a pound!

Avoid The Next Financial Storm That Will Affect Most American People Very Soon

My greatest fear along with most Americans would be if we will outlive our money during retirement or if we will have enough money to retire on at all. As long as our government lives on separate terms than the people they govern I foresee millions of Americans suffering from financial strife later on down the road. Most Americans truly think that Social Security is going to be enough to get them through their twilight years. I personally think that Social Security will not be around from most of us and if you are depending on Social Security to support you during your twilight years, you will find out that it will not be enough. Social Security was only created to subsidize your investments, retirement plans, and/or savings. It was not created to act as a retirement plan.

Bodybuilding Issue – Staying Consistent

The truth is, being consistent can be very difficult. It takes a lot of determination and will power. See consistency isn’t just about having consistent workouts. It’s about consistently balancing the fundamentals. It means consistently going to the gym to train, consistently sticking to your diet, and consistently getting enough rest. I completely understand the big issue with this because I go through the same exact things.

First, I want to talk about consistency for rest and training. If you’re having issues with getting consistent rest, simply try to maintain a similar sleep schedule. It may be tempting to stay up very late on weekends if you have nothing to do, but if you wear your body down enough during the day, you’ll be crashing early and allow yourself to get enough rest.

Staying Healthy Prevents Sickness: Are You Really Staying Healthy?

Hello everyone, my name is Kyle and I am going to share with you what I have learned about the misperception that you are living fit as opposed to actually living fit.

A year ago, living fit to me was going to the gym 3 days a week and working on arms, legs, chest, the usual. I just went to the gym because it was the masculine thing to do and lots of people did it. It also “kept me in shape”, at least I thought. I started to question if I was actually living a “healthy” lifestyle during the winter time. For the 3rd year in a row I got very sick and ended up being hospitalized. Some of you may experience the same conditions. All I thought was that I got sick from the cold weather. Little did I know that there were many more reasons as to why I was hospitalized. For days I would sit in my bed with troubled breathing which I thought was all due to asthma. This turned out to be wrong. Continue reading “Staying Healthy Prevents Sickness: Are You Really Staying Healthy?”

How To Cook Different Rices; From Indian To Italian Or Thai

There are many different sorts of rice; among them, the parboiled one that I do not recommend, regardless of the brand. Some people may like it but for me this is something other than rice. The taste is awful and it seems to never be cooked. To have good rice, use Indian, Thai or Asian rice; or any other rice that is not parboiled. Italian rice is very good as well. According to the rice you buy, you will need to use a specific cooking method; for example, Asian rice is not good for making risotto, Italian rice is not good for serving with Chinese cooking.

Boiled rice: The simplest way to cook rice. Continue reading “How To Cook Different Rices; From Indian To Italian Or Thai”

My First Overseas Trip Was to Singapore

Many people around the world have travelled either within their country or travelled overseas, but there are some who never, ever leave home! I actually feel sorry for these people because they never get to experience life outside of their cocoon.

Whether you travel to the next state or somewhere not far from home, you always find out information about that place which will be different to where you live. We get to see how others live their lives and maybe we can learn something from our experience.

Travelling overseas to a different country and culture will really broaden your horizons. I’ll never forget my first trip overseas and it was to live in Singapore for a year! What a shock to the system! The first thing to hit me was the heat and the smells of food at the airport. It was like nothing I’d ever experienced before and it still has the same effect on me whenever I go back there. Continue reading “My First Overseas Trip Was to Singapore”
