Guacamole
This recipe is awesome! (Lunch, mmmmmmm) I have made this recipe twice. I made it the first time with red onions and the second time with green. I prefer the green onions. I was going to reduce the cilantro, but after tasting it, I decided to add the full amount. Also, the first time I made it, 1 tsp. of salt was perfect. The second time I made it, the avocados were a little smaller and so were the tomatoes, so the batch ended up a little salty. Next time, I would start with 3/4 tsp, and add more if necessary. I would also recommend squeezing the juice out of the tomatoes. When I did not do that the first time, the batch turned out a little runny. If you like more of a chunky guac. try mashing 2 1/2 of the avocados and then cut up the remaining half.

Chai Tea Mix
This recipe probably does not need one more 5-star rating, but it really deserves it! I made this and gave it to many people for Christmas. Almost everyone asked for the recipe. I changed it a little, based on recommendations from others. I decreased the sugar to 1 1/2 cups, and added 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper. Once I made it with the 1 cup non dairy creamer and 1 cup French vanilla non dairy creamer, and once I made it omitting the regular nondairy creamer and instead, I added 2 cups of the French vanilla nondairy creamer. Both were good. I will use the 2 cups vanilla creamer again next time so I don't have to buy so many items. The vanilla was not overpowering.

Strawberry Oat Muffins
I made these muffins this morning and they turned out moist. I was a little afraid because I don't usually like strawberries baked in things because of their tendency to get mushy. I chopped the strawberries small to avoid big, mushy pieces. The muffins had a good flavor, kind of like strawberry jam baked into the muffin. I have had better muffins (ones with more butter/sour cream) but these are very good considering they are a little lower in fat. Because they were so moist, I might try reducing the oil a little next time. I doubt I would miss it. I also made it all in one bowl. I started with the oatmeal/buttermilk, let it sit a few minutes, added the wet ingredients on top, blended well, and then added the dry ingredients on top of that. I stirred just until moist and then folded in the strawberries. They were fine!
