Daring Baker

I have now joined the Daring Baker blogger challenge. This is a community of people with baking/food blogs, and every month, one of the participants hosts that month's challenge and gives everybody a recipe that they have to bake and write about on their blog. Thus, hopefully this should ensure that I produce some more content for this blog (at least one post per month).

I should find out what the first challenge by the beginning of next month (but you are not allowed to tell anyone what it is before the "reveal date" of the 27th in the month.

Pico de gallo and guacamole

It's been way too long since I wrote something here, so even though this doesn't deal with baking, but other food, I hope that's OK with you all. A few days ago I found the Pioneer Woman's cooking blog. I initially found another recipe on her site, but after a while I became quite intrigued by her recipe (and most importantly, the pictures) of pico de gallo and guacamole.

I started with this:
I couldn't find jalapeño in my grocery store, so had to go for another kind of chili. I don't have as many pictures as the pioneer woman of the work in progress, but this is the result:


Not a great picture, but the result was really really good. I'm normally not much of a guacamole enthusiast, but this one was really good. And since it's all vegetables, it should be fairly healthy as well (apart from the tortilla chips to eat with it).
