I found this recipe on a drinks app, and have had it several times. I even got my favorite bartender (this was a few years ago when I actually went out to drink), to make it for me and put it on the drink menu! It's easy peasy, so enjoy.
Ingredients (per shot):
1/3 oz Amaretto
1/3 oz Creme de Cacao
1/3 oz Irish cream
Directions:
1. Layer the ingredients in the order listed.
2. Toast and drink!

Colorado Bulldog
I'll post a drink as my last recipe for the day. This one tastes a lot like chocolate milk. It's a favorite in my house, but it's not often made. Anyway, quite simple procedure!
Ingredients (per serving):
1 oz vodka
1 oz kahlua
Milk (6 oz)
1 splash coke
shaker
ice
Directions:
1. In a shaker, mix vodka, kahula, and milk. Pour into a glass filled with ice, and add a splash of coke.
Didn't I say it was easy? :) Enjoy!

Chunky Guacamole
This is my recipe of guacamole. I never measure, just taste, but I will try to put fairly close measurements to what I actually do for you. If it's not salty, or limey enough, just add a little bit more. It's really simple, and takes no time at all to do.
Ingredients:
4-5 small avocados, or 3 large, diced
1 lime
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1-2 roma tomatoes, diced
Directions:
1. Dice onion, tomatoes and avocados and put them all in a medium size bowl.
2. Slice lime in half, squirting half into avocado mixture. Add salt, mix.
3. Do a taste test, and if you like more salt or lime, add more!
4. Serve with your favorite chip. We like the Tostitos Black bean or fire chipotle.

Monkey bread!
This is an individual monkey bread. I make this every Sunday for our family breakfast and everyone loves it.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup white sugar
1 package biscuit dough
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
Cupcake pan
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces, dropping and mixing each in the sugar.
3. In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Heat until melted in the microwave.
4. Drizzle a spoonful of the butter mixture into the bottom of 8 of the cupcake slots. Drop 6 sugared biscuits into each of the 8 slots. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over each individual monkey bread.
5. Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes, letting cool before eating.
*there will be overflow, so I suggest placing a baking sheet on the rack underneath the cupcake pan to catch. Or make sure you have foil at the bottom of the oven. It can be messy.
