Recipe Friday

I am  having our mom's over for supper on Saturday night to celebrate Mother's Day.  I will be trying several "new to me" recipes and wanted to share one with you.

Fresh Corn & Avacado Salad
4 ears of sweet corn
1/2 red onion, diced
2 very firm avacados, diced
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1/2 hot chili pepper, seeded and finely diced
juice of 1 lime
salt, to taste
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp sugar (optional)
Slice kernels off the corn, combine with all remaining ingredients in a bowl.  Cover and refrigerate before serving.

I will change this just a bit...I'm going to use frozen corn and maybe a combo of canned corn with the red peppers already in it.  I won't use a hot chili pepper and I'll make this a double batch!  I am sure this will be a hit...we like EVERYTHING in this salad!

My menu for Saturday night is:
Chicken Enchiladas(sour cream)
Spicy cole slaw
Corn & Avacado Salad
Lime Bars for dessert

I'll let you know how it all turns out. 
T.G.I.F.
Today is my oldest boys' last day of school...he will be a sophmore next year.  EEEKKK.  Am I that old??? lol  Last night was the FFA banquet.  He was so handsome in his dress clothes even though the first words out of his mouth were...."I don't want a job where I have to wear a tie everyday!" lol

Monday is my youngest boys' last day...then Tuesday, the 6th grade class gets to go on an overnight trip to OKC and visit the Zoo and Science Museum.  They actually spend the night AT the museum.  I got to go with ZB and it was pretty fun...won't get to go with CB.

Have a wonderful weekend~I'm looking forward to it and will be cooking away tonite so I can relax tomorrow!
