Smashed Avocado + Tomato Basil Bruschetta Sometimes I find myself in an entranced state when I cook. It’s as though I get lost in the food; in the flavors, the smells, and sometimes just the simple pleasure that good food brings to my soul. I also get lost pinning things on Pinterest. Which is mostly just a distraction from what I’m actually trying to do which is work like a normal person and get to the gym. Speaking of the gym, I have an update on my Big Foot/marine/professional wrestler trainer! Uhhh… he is legit crazy (yes I just said that). What?! …Unless it’s someone really ridiculously good-looking like Pacey from Dawson’s Creek. Bruschetta is delicious and quite healthy as far as appetizers go. However, I like good-for-you sorts of things. Goodness. They only take about 10 minutes to throw together. Annnnndddd they are vegan! Hey by the way… did you guys know that I don’t eat pork or beef? Seriously. Smashed Avocado + Tomato Basil Bruschetta Author: Monique Recipe type: Appetizer, Lunch, Healthy Prep time: Cook time: Total time:

Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa-Stuffed Puff Pastries Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa-Stuffed Puff Pastries I had been wanting to make stuffed savory stuffed puff pastry for awhile. Probably for the past, oh, seven years, give or take. My sister is the queen of puffed pastry appetizers but this is one of those cooking projects that just never happened for me. Until now. A shipment of locally-grown avocados that all decided to ripen on the same day and I wanted to put them to a creative use. So I got busy puffin’ The assembly line After baking: Warm, cheesy, melted avocado and salsa-filled bites. Crispy edges Scott likes brown corners. I don’t. I am all about the melty middles. This is what I used to create the puffy packages. They were a huge hit with the family and if you’ve never worked with puff pastry before, I assure you, it’s very easy. Scott kept saying they reminded him of something he ate all the time at various Bar Mitzvahs he attended growing up. I told him, “There’s an egg wash on these. But then he asked for a third puff.

That's right, it has become a huge deal in our home to sit and watch football. It only took my husband 44 years to finally decide that he likes football. I thought I was one of the few wives left on earth that was lucky enough to not have my Sundays and Mondays ruled by a football schedule. It is a schedule because the NFL has the gall to play more than two teams on any given day…LOL I am saying this all in tongue and cheek because I love football. I have enjoyed having the time to spend with my hubby and with our kids. This dip is popular throughout the web and can be found on numerous blogs, Pinterest accounts and feeds. The dip can be made up the night before and the topping can be ready to go in a baggie.

Jalapeño Popper Dip I love any excuse I can come up with for making, and subsequently devouring, all sorts of delicious dips. You might remember that back right before Christmas my friend Beth held a “dip party” at her house. That gathering brought us the Buffalo Chicken Dip, Hot Reuben Dip, and the Sausage Dip. It was a seriously genius idea. This dip is everything that makes jalapeño poppers so addicting, and then some.

Tequila Infused Queso Fundido with Chorizo The first time we ever had the treat of trying Queso Fundido was at a festive restaurant in Portland called Oba several years ago. We were immediately in love, it was like Mexican style fondue. For Halloween we usually order pizza or make something casual and indulgent. Rick Bayless' Fiesta at Rick's is the latest of his cookbooks that we've added to our collection. We started with our chopped veggies and some jalapeno and then added our tequila before adding in the chorizo and cheese. The consistency was a bit clumpy and separating which initially worried us. 1 tablespoon olive oil1 large (10-ounce) ripe tomato, cored, seeded, chopped1 medium onion, chopped1 large jalapeño finely chopped3 tablespoons blanco tequila 1/2 cup chopped, link chorizo8 ounces Chihuahua or other Mexican melting cheese, such as quesadilla or asadero, shredded (you’ll have about 2 cups)1/2 cup chopped cilantro Heat the oil in a large ) skillet over medium-high.
