Avocado Fries {Baked} with Cilantro Ranch Dipping Sauce

You've no doubt seen some version of these avocado fries floating around. Since avocados have started appearing in my CSA bags recently, I decided to get on board and see what all the fuss was about. Oh dear. Now I understand the genius that is the avocado fries. First of all...you had me at avocado. Secondly, they're fries. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, these are baked and much healthier than their potato cousins. Sign. Let's talk about the star of the show for a moment. Also...if you don't know this little trick already, the easiest way to remove the pit is to gently take your knife and tap the seed so that the blade lodges into it. My plan was to use some flour.

Now for the breading. For the egg wash, I added a little more of the Cajun seasoning, along with the eggs and a little olive oil. While avocados are baking, you can whip up the dipping sauce.

This recipe has served me well for years.

Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Whenever we have overnight company, everyone insists these are the best pancakes they've ever eaten. For those afraid of sour milk, it is simply a substitute for buttermilk. I use soured milk in every recipe that I have that calls for buttermilk and it works like a charm. It does NOT make things taste sour! Another note: the pancakes will start to "foam up" after you stir them.

I used real buttermilk instead of soured milk and doubled the recipe.

The Worst Thing About Gay Marriage.

There is a new consensus on gay marriage: not on whether it should be legalized but about the motives of those of us who oppose it.

The Worst Thing About Gay Marriage

All agree that any and all opposition to gay marriage is explained either by biblical literalism or anti-homosexual bigotry. This consensus is brilliantly constructed to be so unflattering to those of us who will vote against gay marriage--if we are allowed to do so--that even biblical literalists and bigots are scrambling out of the trenches and throwing down their weapons. But I think that the fundamental objection to gay marriage among most who oppose it has very little to do with one's feelings about the nature of homosexuality or what the Bible has to say about sodomy.

Easy Peanut Butter Ice Cream

For true die-hard peanut butter fans there is nothing that cures a peanut butter craving like a spoonful of peanut butter, straight up. While that hits the spot for a late night snack, sometimes you want that same peanut butter intensity in something more worthy of serving to friends. (Something tells me people would look at me strangely if I just brought out a big jar of peanut butter and a bunch of spoons for dessert when we have guests).

This ice cream is the perfect solution because it is truly all about the peanut butter. Creamy peanut butter ice cream with chunks of chocolate covered peanut butter candy, it is a peanut lover’s dream. I put a range for the amount of peanut butter to use. Easy Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Death By Oreo Cupcakes. They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried.

Death By Oreo Cupcakes

A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor. So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
