Personal: Mexico Vacation

by ⋅ 2 Comments

I feel like a bad blogger for only posting once last week, but hopefully you will forgive me since I was on VACATION!  The husband and I both turned 30 in February, GULP, and decided the best way to celebrate was a romantic getaway.

We’ve been to Ixtapa, Mexico a couple of times.  This however was our first time alone on vacation in Ixtapa.  We got a lot accomplished on this trip: nice tans, both read the Hunger Games trilogy, relaxed, swam, walked the beach and enjoyed some yummy food and margaritas! As you can see we took the R&R vacation idea very seriously. :)

Here are few of my favorite shots from the week.

Might seem repetitive, however we ate the same lunch every day. Chicken, salsa verde, guac and cheese quesadilla.

Bye bye Mexico!

Back to life and back to reality.  I’m sure glad we got this relaxing vacation in … we have got a lot going on in the next few months!

Happy vacationing!

Recipe: Guacamole

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

I love me some guacamole and when I am in Mexico on vacation guacamole is a MUST!!  We’ve gone two whole days on vacation without guacamole and that is just way too long if you ask me.  So off to the grocery store we went, picked up food for the week and a ton of guac ingredients.  The fun this about guac is you can make it in SO many different ways.  My recipe differs from my friend Rebecca’s recipe, but they are both super yummy!

As we ate our guacamole last night there was a very beautiful sunset.  Check it out…

Making guacamole is incredibly easy and pretty quick as well.  Just make sure your avocados are ripe or mashing them becomes a huge issue.

Mash the avocados.

Refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to let the flavors develop.  Serve with tortilla chips, quesadillas or whatever else you prefer.  We ate ours on the porch last night with some tortilla chips.
