Kelsey: Cooking: check!


Summer is here! We are no longer freshman... crazy!!!!!
Along with learning to cook this summer, I have a few other goals:
1. Don't go crazy working for Alpharetta Outfitters.
2. Hang out with my family :)
3. Play piano often!
4. Read a book a week... this week I'm reading Suite Francaise.
5. Run!

So I started cooking yesterday! My little sister, Leah and I went grocery shopping (yessss), and gathered what we needed to make Chicken Avocado Salad Sandwiches for a picnic lunch on Mother's Day.
Here's the recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/05/avocado-chicken-salad-recipe.html#ixzz0nCxaZPRi
It tells you how to cook the chicken, but I just used the leftovers of two Publix rotisserie chickens we had for dinner the night before. I will learn to cook chicken some other day!
Basically, all you do is chop up everything and mix it up!
Something I learned about scallions is that you don't chop up all of it...just until it no longer tastes good! You just taste little pieces every few inches to see if you should stop chopping it up.


This is Leah. What a good chef...

This is my family enjoying the sandwiches in my backyard!

Um it was sooo good. And I made a quesadilla out of the left overs today!! I spread mashed up avocado on the tortilla and put cilantro and tomatoes in it, and spread lime juice on the outside of the tortilla....
