    And We’re Back…

    After a 1.5 year hiatus…Style & Life returns. When I found out I was pregnant, I became overwhelmed with the idea of juggling family, career, blog and all other things.  As is usually the case, things are usually worse in your mind than anywhere else. After taking a few months to endlessly kiss baby cheeks, I got into routine and found the creative side of myself needing an outlet. And, so, here we are. When I think of Style & Life, I think of us as your go-to friend when you don’t know what to wear, the place where you hear a new beauty tip that adds a bit of pizzazz to your makeup routine or when you need a fresh recipe for a dinner party. That’s who we are. I hope you enjoy the new content and look forward to much more.

    Bisous,

    Style & Life’s Original Guacamole Recipe

    style & life guacamole recipeSince Cinco de Mayo is Tuesday, I thought it was time to share my original guacamole recipe. I tried many different versions of this recipe and landed on this one, which receives rave reviews from friends and family. The ingredients and technique are simple; the taste fresh and delicious. One essential tip is to ensure you use ripe avocados; otherwise, they will be difficult to mash and will not blend well with the other ingredients. In order to have uniform vegetables, I like to use the Vidalia Chop Wizard. It’s inexpensive and effective. Try this recipe, not only is it delicious with tortilla chips, it can be added to salads, tacos or other dishes. 

    2 ripe Haas avocados

    1 small tomato, seeded and diced

    1 jalapeno, seeded and diced

    1 small or ½ large sweet onion, diced

    2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro

    juice of ½ lime

    sea salt to taste

    tortilla chips

     

    Dice tomatoes, jalapeno, onion and place in bowl. Chop cilantro. Dice avocado and mash until smooth. Mix all ingredients together. Juice ½ of a lime and add sea salt to taste. Add more or less of any ingredient to your liking. Serve with tortilla chips.

    Enjoy. This may be my all time favorite recipe.

    Bisous,
