The Best Guagamole

I made this and it is amazing. I put it on hamburgers and dipped chips in it. MMMMM so delicious. I did add less onion and garlic cause they were strong. It turned out just fine.

What you'll need:

  • 1 tbs Onion cut up really good. 
  • 3 avocados mashed up
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs hot sauce, any kind
  • 1 tsp sour cream 
  • 2 tsp or more lime juice or 1 fresh lime
  • 2 Tbs cilantro, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic ( if its already minced i just put in 1/4 tsp in. I didn't want it really garlicy)
What to do:
Cut up avocado and mash it into a bowl. Add other ingredients and mix. Enjoy:)

To my husband....

I know this isnt part of my blog but I need to let my husband know how I feel about him. I cant tell him in person cause I'll probably cry and won't be able to say anything. Just so you know I'm not very good at writing these things sometimes it comes out like word vomit. So sorry if this is word vomit, it can be word vomit with love;)

We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on May 10th this year. Even though we don't do extravagant things to celebrate, you always find fun things to do. I wouldn't care if we didn't do anything just as long as I'm with you I don't care how we celebrate it.

"When two people are meant for each other no time is too long, no distance is to far, and nobody can keep them apart"
Marrying you was the best thing I have ever done. I'm so glad I went on that date with you and I'm glad I decided to work at Hermansens Equipment. Everyday I think about the day you gave me my promise ring. I loved how you planned that out. The day you purposed to me and surprised me with a carriage ride and a beautiful wedding ring. I want to re live these days over and over again. You are very good at surprising me, to this day you still do. December 23rd, 2011 and May 10th, 2012 was seriously the best day of my life. Our wedding was a real life fairy tale. I'm so glad we got married in the Venetian in Vegas. I would love to go back in time and marry you all over again without changing anything. Everything was perfect, from the flowers to the honeymoon.
 Your family has excepted me from the beginning and I love them to pieces. Thank you for taking care of me when the times got tough and not abandoning me. I know seeing me have a seizure is hard but you pulled me through without freaking out. 
From these 2 years we've been married you gave me everything I have ever wanted. A house, a handsome baby boy that is a spitting image of you and amazing in laws.  We traveled to North Dakota and learned new things and spent time with each other. Building our friendship and relationship. Making new adventures along the way. I miss going up the mountain with you and looking for elk and looking at the stars. Remember we use to always do that, it made me so happy.
I hope I am giving you everything you have ever wanted. I hope your as happy as I am. I love you more than anything in the world and I wouldn't trade you for anything. I love how you joke around and make me laugh. You don't judge me for the things I do, I love who you are and I don't want you to change anything. You are so handsome, everyday I look at you and say to myself " my husband is damn sexy. I am so lucky to have a good looking man like my husband". I know you aren't big on things like this but I am. I'm that kind of person that appreciates things that are done for me. Ever since I got better I think about life and that it is worth living. I decided to overcome this illness and marry the man of my dreams and be a mother and name our first boy Nash. I've always loved that name. You are the man of my dreams, you helped me accomplish that dream. I know it's not a awesome dream but to me it is. I have been more grateful for life than ever. I'm even more grateful now that I'm with you. 
Preston you can't imagine how I feel right now and every day I'm with you. I am proud to be a Nielsen and to be Augusta Camille Nielsen (Anderson). Changing my name is letting go of the past and the start of a new life with somebody I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. I've always thought that had a nice ring to it. I loved saying my whole name when we got married. I will always be an Anderson, but I'm going to be a Nielsen forever and always with you.





Beauty tips. More to come!!!

These are some things I tried and worked.
  • Shave your legs and or anything else with baby oil instead of shaving cream. Your legs stay soft and stay shaven for a couple of days. Well mine does. 



  • An awesome way to do a ponytail. It makes your hair look long and full. But if you look from the side it looks weird but i don't care i like it. You tie a section on top and one on bottom. sorry about the pics my phone isn't the best.
With 2 ponytails


without


  • Put eye solution in your mascara tube when your mascara dries up to make it last longer. Keep putting it in there till its all gone. 



MORE TO COME SOON!!!

Philly cheese steaks with cream cheese sauce

For the meat I just mainly added things that sounded good and it turned out amazing. Sorry I don't have pictures for this one. If anything doesn't make since let me know. 
What you'll need:
Picture is not mine to credit.
  • Beef for stew lean or any kind of steak,cut into thin slices ( i cooked a lot of meat. I just eyed it and it made enough to feed 5-6 people sorry I don't have exact measurements)
  • Seasoned meat tenderizer 
  • garlic salt
  • oil
  • 1 green pepper or more if you want more, sliced
  • half  an onion or more, sliced
  • 1 tbs root beer
  • Hoagie buns
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Mushrooms ( optional)
Cream cheese sauce:
  • 2 oz cream cheese 
  • 1 c milk
  • 1 tbs flour
  • 4 slices of swiss cheese( I just broke them up and put them in with the cream cheese)
  • 1 handful cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tbs butter
What to do:
Turn on broiler for hoagie buns
Cut meat really thin and long. First take the seasoned meat, garlic salt, and oil and rub on the cut up meat and work it in the meat. Place in skillet and cook on med, cook it really slow so it can soak up all the flavor and stay tender. 
When the meat is almost cooked add root beer and worchestershire sauce and mushrooms if you decide to have them. keep on med heat. 
When meat is done place the green pepper and onion with meat and cook. I like them with a crunch so i didn't cook them for very long. Put on low and start on sauce. 
Cut your hoagie buns, put on tray and place in oven and cook till light brown or toasty. I added a little butter to mine before I put them in the oven. 
Sauce:
Add 1 tbs butter to skillet and melt. Whisk in flour, cook for 1 min. Slowly stir in milk. 
Stir in cream cheese and cheese and cook till melted. Season with salt and pepper. 
Place meat and veggies in hoagie bun and dress it with sauce. So so yummy!!
