Once again, it’s Super Bowl Sunday. It’s the time of bbq, chips, dip and other finger foods. We made some guacamole and some honey bar b q ribs, among other things. We wanted to make things that were low maintenance so cooking wouldn’t be so stressful today. My sister and her boyfriend were the assistant chefs today. ^___^

Guacamole:

• 5 Haas avocados (halved, seeded, & peeled)
• 1 lime’s juice
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. cayenne
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 onion diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tomatoes diced
• 1 tbs. chopped cilantro

Procedure

• In a bowl, mash the avocadoes.
• Add the garlic, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, salt, cumin, lime juice, & cayenne.
• Mix together well and refrigerate.
• Remove from fridge and let sit an hour prior to serving.
• Can be served with your favorite tortilla chips or anything else really

Ingredients

• 1 rack of ribs
• 3-4 tbs. of dry rub (you can make your own, but i bought a specialty pork bbq dry rub from the store, and it was delicious)
• a jar of your favorite honey bbq sauce (i used the KC honey bar b q sauce)

Procedure

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit
• Generously season ribs with dry rub. Be sure to season both top and bottom sides
• Place ribs in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Cover top with aluminum foil as well
• Place in oven for a total of 2.5 hours
• After 1.5 hours, remove aluminum foil cover and lightly baste with the honey bbq sauce
• Every half hour afterwards, baste ribs with the honey bbq sauce

I picked this as my first baking task because it’s very simple to make. Make sure you add the exact amount of ingredients and mix everything thoroughly. All of my suitemates love it because it’s not too sweet like the ones you get from bakeries. (Trust me, they are super picky when it comes to cheesecakes.)

Ingredients

• 8oz Philadelphia cream cheese
• 1 1/2 tsp (about 1.3oz) butter
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 can condensed milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp lime juice (optional)
• 1 ready pie crust (9.5in)

Procedure

• Mix butter and cream cheese in bowl for about 5~10 minutes
• Add 2 tsp of sugar and mix
• Add 1/2 can of condensed milk and beat until smooth
• Add two eggs, one at a time, and mix thoroughly
• Add 1 tsp of vanilla (optional: and a little lime juice if you don’t want it to be too sweet) and mix
• Preheat oven to 350ºF
• Place the cake mixture into the ready pie crust
• Put the whole pie into the oven and bake it at 350ºF for 40 minutes
• Refrigerate the cake overnight or until it holds its shape
