Easy Side Dishes


Spinach: Heat some olive oil in a pan, and throw in some garlic, feel free to do a lot. In this picture I also added shallots. Just as it's begining to brown, put in as much spinach as can fit in the pan.
The spinach will wilt down to about 1/10 its size when fresh so go wild with it, stack it up, put in the whole bag, it will not be nearly as much as you think.
After the spinach has wilted down, serve and enjoy!



Super Easy Guacamole

All you need for the basic guac is a couple of fresh ready avacodos (They should be halfway between soft and firm on the outside, and easy to scoop inside when ready) jalapenos or habeneros, and some lime juice.

Cut the avacados in half along the pit, and empty flesh into a bowl. Finely chop jalapenos and add to avacado. I used about 1 jalapeno per avacado, and it was slightly spicy. Add about a half-shot worth of real lime juice per 2 avacados and using the back of a spoon, mix together into a paste.

And that is ready to go guacamole.
