There are many ways to make this family tradition (new years)
This is how I have adapted it to our taste...
Ingredients
3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)
Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least an hour. I make this in the morning and it is delectible by evening time (PARTY TIME!!!) Also, you can not have too much fresh lime juice - in my opinion. Also again, I always double this recipe if it is for more than just me and Nate.
Serve with tortilla chips (lime chips are good too) and pig out for the new year!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Pineapple Pretzel Fluff
1 cup coarsely crushed pretzels
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sugar, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup sugar, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
In a bowl, combine pretzels, butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 7 minutes. Cool.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until creamy. Fold in pineapple and whipped topping; chill until serving. Break pretzel mixture into small pieces; sprinkle over pineapple mix before serving (so pretzel mix doesn't get soggy)
Sorry I forgot to take a picture- it was a busy day! I took this to thanksgiving dinner and it was a big hit! It was so easy to make and also very cheap to make!
Be careful not to eat the whole thing! :) Enjoy!!
