The Perfect Holiday Gift

Jason’s Guac Starter offers an easy way to entertain guests without the fuss of multiple ingredients, the hassle of cooking, or a messy cleanup. Just add two ripe avocados and half of a cup of Jason’s Guac Starter and you are ready to entertain. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings or a middle-of-the-day snack. According to the California Avocado Commission, avocados are sodium and cholesterol free, with only five grams of fat per serving, making the dip a healthy choice for holiday entertaining.

The guacamole starter includes tomatillo, lime juice, onions, Serrano, salt, pepper, cilantro, and an assortment of spices and is available at SOL, Red Pony, The Franklin Farmers' Market, Grassland Market, and most recently at Whole Foods Green Hills. Jason’s Guac Starter comes in an 11.5 oz. jar and is individually priced at $5.50. Log onto
www.jasonsguacstarter.com for more information and to purchase a four-pack online.

And for the holiday season, you can purchase pre-wrapped Jason's Guac Starter at SOL on its own or with a gift card.

SOL's Event Coordinator Helps You Prep for Parties This Season

Holidays are wonderful, but it's no secret that holiday season is also full of stress. Kari Mauk, Special Events Coordinator for SOL and Red Pony, offers some helpful information to those planning parties this holiday season. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner with friends or a corporate cocktail affair, these tips are smart for any affair:

1. Prep ahead - Pick foods that can be prepared ahead of time so that everything doesn't have to be cooked right before guests arrive. Some things can be done days or weeks in advance and kept in the freezer or refrigerator.

2. Relax - Enjoy your party! If you are enjoying the party, your guests are more likely to relax and enjoy as well.

3. Spread things out - Put the food and drinks in separate locations. This will help the flow of guests and keep everyone from being stagnant.

Jason's Guac Starter is also a great appetizer for any party. It only requires adding two avocados, stirring and serving. And it tastes great, too! Jason's Guac Starter is available for purchase at Red Pony, SOL and the Green Hills Whole Foods.
