Mother's Day to Memorial Day!

Where did the time go? I guess I have been enjoying the Spring weather. Here are some photos from a recent shoot in the park.

Hair did not disappoint

It was phenomenal!

At the end of the show, the audience is invited to dance on stage, with the whole cast. It was so much fun. I am planning to add to my resume.... Made her Broadway debut in the revival of Hair on Broadway, 2009.

Let the Sun Shine In!

This is exactly how I am feeling this week! The weather has been SO lousy.

I am so excited to see Hair on Broadway tomorrow night. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It should be a great night!! Coincidentally, I saw Rock of Ages earlier this week. It was so much fun. If you grew up in the 80's, it is a must see. It is hysterical!

Cinco De Mayo!

My cousin sent me this Margarita recipe from The Hungry Girl. I had seen the new cookbook, Hungry Girl 200 under 200 - 200 Recipes under 200 Calories, at Barnes and Noble this weekend, so I was intrigued.

I checked out her website. Seems like lots of great recipes and food ideas! I haven't tried them yet, but thought I'd experiment in honor of Cinco De Mayo!

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon-lime soda)
One shot (1.5 oz.) tequila
One serving (half a packet or 1/8th of a tub) sugar-free strawberry powdered drink mix (any variety, like Crystal Light Strawberry-Kiwi or Energy Wild Strawberry)
4 frozen unsweetened strawberries
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 cup crushed ice or 5 - 8 ice cubes
Optional Garnish: lime wedge


Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until uniform and slushy.
Pour into a nice glass and, if you like, garnish with a wedge of lime.

What is a margarita without a little Guacamole? (Also from The Hungry Girl.)

Ingredients:
One 15-oz. can early/young peas, drained
1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1 medium-small avocado's worth)
1/3 cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (like Fage Total 0%)
4 tsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. chili powder

Optional: chopped cilantro, chopped jarred jalapenos, additional salt and pepper

Directions: Place drained peas in a medium bowl and mash thoroughly with a potato masher or fork. Add all other ingredients except for the tomatoes, onions and optional items. Continue to mash until blended. Stir in the tomatoes, onions and, if you like, some chopped cilantro and/or jalapenos. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Enjoy!
