Avocado smash sandwich

I love avocados. They are the best food in my books. I eat them seasoned and sometimes just out of the shell. I love them. I have not tried the fries yet, I had one incident where I tried it cook with an egg. It could have been the egg but that was awful and never again will I try to make something that will ruin such and amazing piece of fruit. 

So this was a quick simple lunch and took me less than 5 minutes to make. May have taken less had I not been telling Yasser how I ate this all the time while pregnant her. I also made he father go out in a horrible snow storm to get me stuff to make this once. 

Poor Justin, I still feel bad 6 years later, not at the time though. Never mess with a pregnant lady and her cravings. 

You need: Avocado

Lemon

Salt and pepper

onion

1 garlic clove

A few tomato chunks 

Asiago cheese

1 can of tuna 

Bread 

Peel the avocado and dice. Place in the bowl add cheese, salt and pepper and the lemon. Gentle mash
( I love chucks so I do not make it smooth).

Add onion, tomato, garlic and tuna. Mix together and place in side the bread. Now this is ready to eat and enjoy. Quick simple meal.

Looking Wreath

I talked about major changes coming because we just needed it in the house. The positive attitude has helped so much in accepting things that I can't change. When we lived in Maryland and Desmond nearly died we ended up drowning in debt so things like decorating for the holiday was limited. 

 This year is the first time we have the extra to decorate so here it is. 

First I bought a really nice black wreath with orange bow. Everyone is starting to pull out Christmas stuff so Halloween is on sale and this baby cost me $20 

Next I took cheap ping pong balls....

googly eyes and a hot glue gun.

I glued the eye on one side.

 I glued a small piece of wire on the other side to twist it on the wreath.

This is my lovely bowl of googly eyeballs ready to go.

Then slowly add the eyes. 

Voila it is done, I plan on buying a few more glow in the dark eyes to add on because I feel like it is missing something but have not decided yet. 

Quick grilled pork

We have recently started shopping at Bj's and I came across a buy one get one free for dressings. We got a caesar and a balsamic but unfortunately I was the only one who liked it on salad but it worked on the pork.

I figured nice hot days require grilling but I can not use my grill unless I want to deal with stupid landlord rules. This is where the cast iron comes into play. I truly love my collection :)

I marinated the pork over night. 

I grilled the pork on my cast iron pan and added pepper.

I tossed the asparagus in oil with salt and pepper. 

As I let the pork rest, I grilled the asparagus. Which makes this dinner perfect for 

really hot summer days. 

I chopped up the asparagus and grilled some onions and made a quick salad. 

The plating was simple I put potatoes on the bottom with a pork on top and a salad to the side. 

Budget planning : I buy the pork in bulk at $12 and I get 6-8 meals. Potatoes cost about 1 to 2 dollars and asparagus during the summer is about $4  and an onion is maybe a dollar. 

this meal for 6 people is about $8 coming to $1.50 each.
