Guac


What You'll Need: 

For 2-4 Servings

3 Haas Avocados 
2 Lemons 
1 Garlic Clove 
Handful of Cilantro -- to taste
Quixote Cheese -- for garnish

tomatoes, onions, and peppers as desired (I opted out)





Avocados should be cut open with the pits removed. 





Cilantro should be minced & used as desired 


I zest the garlic. If the clove is large I only use half.


Quixote Cheese for garnish 




Ingredients: 

3 Haas Avocados 
1 small Garlic Clove 
Handful of Cilantro 
2 Lemons (zested and juiced)
Quixote Cheese -- for garnish 

Optional (to taste):
1 small tomato
Red Onions
Peppers of your choosing 


Directions: 

1. Halve all avocados and remove pits 
2. Zest and juice the two lemons 
3. Zest the garlic clove 
4. Mince Cilantro and add to taste 
5. Combine all ingredients until thoroughly mixed 
6. Add the Quixote Cheese as garnish 



For me Sunday's are a day for good eats with good company. It's quickly becoming tradition in the Roque house that Sunday's are for Guacamole. This recipe is rapidly becoming a fan favorite. Easy and versatile, the recipe can be prepared in as little as 5 - 10 minutes, and can include any of your favorites (from tomatoes, to onion, and peppers). 

Served with warm tortilla chips.

Social Friday at Sergio's


Wearing:

Vaca Frita Empanada

Social Fridays calls again for a social outing. This week the lovely Diana and I ventured out to Sergio's for a Cuban lunch. As always -- this lunch was a working one. 

Cuban cuisine is not one of my favorites, however, Sergio's does it right. With their array of fresh baked empanadas, and their traditional Cuban dishes -- everything is just right for my Cuban roots. 

The weather in South Florida seems to be erratic as of lately, as one day we experience record scorching temperatures -- only to wake up the next morning to the blissful cool sweater weather. I chose a simple white knit sweater with embellished shoulders for this Casual Friday at Corporate America. 

The platforms are one of my favorites as they are trendy and unique with their pattern and height (I feel about a foot taller in them). The heart glasses are an ode to Valentines (as this shoot was on the lovely holiday itself). 

Casual yet chic, my outfit choice is perfect for a sunny South Florida lunch date.
