Roasted Tomatillo Salsa We are home from the hospital and enjoying our time with our new baby boy. We are all doing well, just a little tired. Luckily, we have a special guest post for you today from Kate and Sara, the lovely ladies from Our Best Bites. Enjoy! Hey, y’all! Every year, I have always been incredibly jealous of all my friends who tell me all about harvesting their gardens and canning all their fresh produce and eating fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, and peppers. I have decided that there are gardeners and there are people who will eat the food from other people’s gardens.

Anyway. Before this hot, rainless summer hit the Southeast United States and my poor garden shriveled up, I planted tomatillos with the sole intention of making this salsa. If you’ve never worked with tomatillos before, they are tangy little lime-green buggers that have a papery skin that are usually found near the ethnic produce like ginger, jalapeno peppers, and fancy mushrooms. Yumminess.

Avocado Fries with Spicy Roast Garlic Dip. After seeing a few of these Avocado Fries on Foodgawker, I just so happened to have an avocado in my fridge and knew I had to try this intriguing combination. So here is my take on these curiously delicious Avocado Fries! Avocado Fries 1 Avocado3/4 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs2-3 tbsp Flour1 EggParmesan CheeseSalt & PepperCanola Oil I haven’t tried this recipe with any other type of Avocado, but I would recommend using one that isn’t quite ripe yet, and still stiff when squeezing it.

Store it in your fridge before making these, this way you don’t have to worry about it being too soft when you bread and cook it. Take two plates and a bowl, put your panko and flour on the plates and scramble an egg into your bowl. Shred some Parmesan cheese into your bowl of panko and add salt & pepper to taste (mix it around and get your finger wet, dip it in the panko and give it a taste until it gets to your liking). Spicy Roast Garlic Dip And there you have it! Enjoy! Bob. Nine Simple Paleo Sauces to Sex Up Your Meals | Nourish Paleo Foods. Yes, it’s true. I’m kind of a culinary genius. Well, that’s what my husband thinks and I’d prefer if you didn’t tell him otherwise. Matt has an inflated view of my kitchen skills because I play it fast and loose with the sauces, mixing up what we have in the kitchen to make tonight’s pork roast seem a little different than it did when we had it for lunch and dinner yesterday.

My “sauces” are so simple that we should really call them something else, like “mini-sauces” or “saucealettes” or just “toppings.” Most have only two or three ingredients plus a dash of salt and pepper. I put these toppings together quickly and apply liberally to our meats and veggies. The right mini-sauce can really sex up a meal, taking it from basic to ba-boom!
