Yummy Avocado, Subway and a Mocha Smoothie

It seems that everyone is talking about avocados. Maybe it's because it feels like this ad for Subway sandwich shop is on every few commercials. 

I saw a recipe for a bacon guacamole sandwich on Pinterest and was curious. I made it and it was delicious! Why don't you try it? (although it will not give you laser vision, super strength or the ability to fly... (I took some liberties with the original recipe because I'm watching my cholesterol.)

Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

2 slices veggie bacon 
2 slices of whole wheat bread
2 tablespoons of guacamole 

2 tablespoons low fat Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon honey mustard 

Cook two slices of bacon in a skillet. Let cool. Spread honey mustard onto both slices of bread. Spread guacamole onto the bread. Cut bacon pieces in half. Layer the pieces on top of the guacamole. Finish up by sprinkling Parmesan cheese on top. Close the sandwich and cook over grill for approximately 4-5 minutes. (I love my George Foreman!) 

Here is the original recipe:

I also found a Mocha Smoothie recipe on Pinterest. It was delicious, although my son was annoyed that I tricked him into ingesting spinach. It went a little something like this: 

me: "Taste this smoothie."
DS: "What's in it?"
me:  "Banana, chocolate, peanut butter. It's so good!"
DS: "What's that gr..."
me  (interjects): "Just drink it!!"
DS: "It's kinda good. I taste the peanut butter. What's that green stuff?"
me:  "Spinach!"
