This is the cutest recipe for all of those curious little weather reporters out there! It simple and the kids can make it themselves if you pre-cut everything. Plus, Challah tastes amazing if you have never had it before.

Weather Report Sandwich

  • Cut a slice of braided challah bread from the middle of the loaf.
  • Using a cookie cutter, shape a slice of orange cheddar cheese into a circle. Place it partly under the bread. Cut the remaining cheese into small triangles, and place them around the circle as the sun’s rays.
  • Add blueberries as eyes and as rain falling from the cloud.
  • Slice off the side of a red apple, then use a straw to punch out two circles of its skin for the cheeks.
  • Add a small piece of fruit leather for the smile.

Tips on how to make great guacamole

Green Homemade Guacamole with Tortilla Chips and Salsa

Tips on how to make great guacamole

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! Here are some tips on how to make the perfect guacamole from Cabo Flats chef Antonio Brodziak.

  • Buy the right avocado: Everybody knows that guacamole is consisted of avocado, but people often use just regular avocados, losing flavor in the process. Ripe Hass avocados bring much more flavor and consistency to the guacamole.
  • Don’t forget the cilantro: What is also known as Coriander, cilantro taste is a mix between parsley and citrus. It brings a good mix to the flavors of a next level guacamole.
  • When it comes to onions, think red: Unlike regular yellow or white onions, red onions are much sweeter. Having that sweet taste adds more contrast to the guacamole mix. Plus, it has less sulfur content, so no watery eyes while cooking!
  • Squeeze a lime: Having that bit of fresh squeezed lime will add another touch of citrus taste without making it lose other flavors.
  • Top it with tomatoes: Be sure to get fresh orange tomatoes, so you can get the full and less acidic taste from them.

I am slowly and I mean very slowly trying to move to a gluten-free diet. Cucumbers are one of my favorite snacks and they are low in saturated fat, and very low in cholesterol and sodium. Here is a gluten-free snack that is perfect for the middle of the day munchies.

Gluten Free Cucumber and Turkey Snack

First cut your cucumber in half lengthwise. The take a spoon and de-seed the cucumber.

Next,  add some mustard to one side of the cucumber. I used spicy but I think next time I would prefer plain old yellow mustard.

cuc3

Add some laughing cow cheese to the other side.

cuc4

 Add some Turkey to it. Nitrate free of course.

And put the halves together. Now you have a delicious and gluten-free snack.
