Yumminess for the Week.

New Recipe Update: I am trying a few new recipes this week because I've been very much inspired by the new ones I've tried recently.  Here is how one of my recently-tested recipes turned out:

Low-fat Taco Salad w/Avocado Salsa:

 This was fantastic- I made this using ground deer meat my sister gave me from a hunting expedition! And no, my sister doesn't hunt- her family/in-laws do. HA! I'd LOVE to see my sister with a gun.

 But I digress.

I made a few minor omissions and one addition.  

• I did not include raw onion (gross) or red bell pepper (forgot to buy) in the salsa part of this. While I love red pepper, this salsa would still be good without it.  
• In place of molasses (I never have that on hand) I used one tablespoon of brown sugar. 
• The seasoning was phenomenal!! Don't change it a bit. 
• As you add seasoning to the cooked meat, add some water to it.  Low-fat meat needs some kind of liquid, people.  This meat is great warmed up for leftovers (with a splash of water), by the way. Makes an awesome quesadilla.
• The last suggestion I'd make is to use maybe only half of the lime's juice. A whole lime's juice is a lot when including the zest, too. The zest is AWESOME, by the way.

Here's to trying more new recipes!

Found this on Pinterest! I love Pinterest! I love sour creamy goodness! Even if you don't love the aforementioned subjects, just look at the photo. It is incredibly drool-worthy.
