Granite City is one of my go-to restaurants in Michigan. I go pretty frequently for work and there's one by my house. The past month and a half I went three times, and for the first time ever, got something different each time. If you know me, then you know there's a 99% chance I…
I’ve recently started liking guacamole, but I still don’t like avocados. Makes sense right? I always eat this with my Guilt Free Nachos; it’s so delicious and a great source of healthy fat. Ingredients: 2 Avocados ¼ Cup salsa 1 ½ TBS Lime Juice Salt to taste, we use a lot of salt ½ Cup onions…
