Guacamole

1 Whole Hass Avacado (appx 100 gr)
1 Tbsp Med-Hot Salsa
1 Tbsp 0% Fat Greek Yogurt
1 Tsp Lime Juice

This is definately a "to taste" recipe. I adjust according to the weight of the avacado and I like my salsa a little more on the hot side. Low sodium salsa will drop the sodium count if thats an issue. Macros are for 3 servings but honestly it never lasts that long. Serve with veggie sticks, low sodium chips, or whatever floats your boat.

Stuffed Mushrooms ohh my!

Ingredients
24 whole fresh button mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn garlic. Set aside to cool.
When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fill each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffing. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the mushrooms are piping hot and liquid starts to form under caps.
