In this video, Betty responds to a viewer request for a Guacamole dip recipe. This is a wonderful version of Guacamole–everyone’s party favorite! Ingredients: 2 Haas avocados, peeled and cut into chunks (I put the chunks in a bowl and sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to keep them from turning brown while I get everything else prepared.) juice of 1/2 lime 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (Start with 1/4 teaspoon and taste when dip is done. Increase salt to 1/2 teaspoon, if desired.) 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped 1 Roma tomato, chopped 2 tablespoons cilantro, snipped 1 large clove of roasted garlic, minced. (I saute my garlic in olive oil until softened after mincing.) 1 tablespoon sliced jalapeno peppers from a jar, finely diced dash of ground black pepper In a small bowl, combine 2 chunked avocados, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the juice of 1/2 lime. Mash with a fork until blended. It can be a little lumpy. Add 1/2 chopped red onion, 1 chopped Roma tomato, 2 tablespoons snipped cilantro, 1 clove of minced, roasted garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped sliced jalapeno peppers, and a dash of black pepper. Blend all ingredients together with a spoon. When blended, pour the Guacamole dip into a serving dish, and serve with restaurant style tortilla chips.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make hearty and delicious Comforting Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup. It is slow cooked with steak cubes and tasty vegetables and spices. It is made in such a way as to make it the lowest fat version of soup that has meat in it.

If you cannot find this, just use frozen mixed vegetables, or drained Veg-all, or freshly chopped vegetables of your choice.) 1 teaspoon chili powder 6 additional cups water saltine crackers, for serving (I used fat-free saltine crackers.) Chop 2 pounds of lean beef into cubes. (I prefer to use steak, because it is less fatty than stew meat.) Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep skillet. Brown the beef cubes in the oil, until there is no pink on the outside. Pour 3 quarts (12 cups) water into a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, and then add the browned beef cubes.
