Smart Kitchen’s Guacamole Recipe Was a Touchdown!

That and Some Time is All it Takes

It’s that time of year again, Super Bowl minus 3 days, and Mrs. P Chef is already asking for the Smart Kitchen Guacamole but she wants it Gluten Free this year.

We aims to please and are going to whip it up, in copious quantities, with organic gluten free Chipotles. Who would have known, but a label reader like Mrs. P Chef, but most of the commercial chipotle varieties are packed in an Adobo Sauce made with gluten. We found some gluten free ones at Whole Foods, that still have good flavor and thus was our Sunday of family snacking saved.

Smart Kitchen Guacamole, Served with "Flair"

The Smart Kitchen Guacamole Recipe is up on the recipe section of Smart Kitchen and is a fairly simple  preparation. Take it easy on the Chipotle and Adobo Sauce if you like it more mild.

Kick Off is tomorrow so it might make sense today to make some purchases and Prepare a bit early. After all Preparation, is the second of the 4 Levers Of Cooking,™( $ content).

Have a great time and Go All You Giant Patriots!

Working with Gina’s Homemade

                                          

Recently, we had a chance to work with some very fine Mozzarella from Gina’s Homemade, made locally here in Arizona. Right now, I believe they are making terrific artisanal cheeses as a specialty but the cheeses (Ricotta and Mozzarella) should be a main Product Line sometime soon.

SK Chef decided to make three Vegetable Crudité (Yellow Pepper, Heirloom Tomato, Grilled Zucchini) to showcase the fresh, open flavor of the Gina’s product.

That's a Fresh Product

There is a small amount of preparation but it is very manageable if you know your 4 Levers of Cooking™ and are properly organized. As you can see the results turn out nicely. Our Recipe for Vegetable Crudité has a pretty detailed “Mis en Place” or organization section towards the bottom that describes which steps we took, and when, to have all the items ready for service together.
