Avocado Ranch Dip (With Hints of Lime)

Avocado Ranch Dip



Going to a party tomorrow and someone there will be a vegetarian, so in addition to my Buffalo Chicken Dip (which I'll be making and writing up tomorrow ) I decided to make a vegetarian alternative for those craving dip.

This is a great dip that can be made in under 5 minutes and is perfect for any gathering, be it a cast party or a D&D group meetup. It's great for even an amateur cook.

Avocado Ranch Dip

16 oz container of sour cream
2 Large Avocados
2 ounces of sweetened lime juice
1 oz packet of ranch seasoning mix

Optional:
Ground black pepper
Lime or Lemon based liquor


Step 1: Peel, De seed, and mash up the Avocados.

Step 2: Mix the avocados (which is now guacamole) with sour cream and your lime juice (and optional liquor)

Step 3: Mix in the ground black pepper (Optional, I use around a tbsp in mine) and ranch seasoning mix.

Step 4: Place in a resealable container (I use things like old cool whip containers)

Step 5: Chill in fridge until you are ready to serve.

Adverb Bread: Peanut Butter Honey Chocolate Cinnamon Banana Bread

This is what happens when I get bored and hungry at once.

Ingredients:

3 Bananas, the riper the better
3 Eggs
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup White Granulated Sugar
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Butter, softened/melted.
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Chocolate Powder
1/8th cup Cinnamon
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Step 1: Preheat Over to 325 Degrees.

Step 2: Mix Together All ingredients except flour.

Step 3: Mix in flour, if you wanted to add nuts, this would be the time.

Step 4: Place in baking pan.

Step 5: Place in oven for 50-70 minutes, or until a toothpick or butter knife inserted comes out clean.

Step 6: Let sit 10 minutes before attempting to remove from pan and to let cool.


I would suggest serving with a glass of milk, as anything chocolatey should be served with a glass of milk.

Bacon and Egg "Cupcakes"

Okay, for my first post I'm going to post my most recent attempt in the kitchen and how I accomplished it.

What you will need (per cupcake):

Estimated time from start to finish: ~20 minutes

1 strip of bacon.
1 egg
1 slice of bread


Salt and pepper.


Cheese (optional)
Sliced Peppers (optional)

Step 1: Preheat over to 400 degrees. This isnt a hard recipe so you want to do mthis right away.

Step 2: Grease up a cupcake tray.

Step 3: Using the method of your choice, precook the bacon half way, either throw it on the grill for a minute, or toss it in the microwave for half the suggested time.

Step 4: (this step can easily be done while waiting for the bacon to partially cook): Take each slice of bread and press a large cup onto it to get a circular slice of bread. Alternatively, if you have enough common sense or fore sight, use a large sugar cookie cutter (better planner then me).

Step 5: Gently press each slice of bread into the cupcake holder.

Step 6: Place the bacon against the edges of cupcake pan edges, this combined with the bread makes your cupcake "wrapper".

Step 7: This is where you would add a small amount of cheese, pepper slices or whatever you want, by placing it inside the "wrapper"

Step 8: Crack open the egg and place inside the "wrapper".  (The egg, not the shell)

Step 9: Apply salt and pepper to taste place in oven for 10-15 minutes depending on desired consistency of egg.

Step 10: Pull out, let sit for 2-3 minutes and removed your new cupcakes with a butter knife or toothpick.

Enjoy!

Note for those on weight watchers: Without adding anything optional, each cupcake can easily be made at 4 pts+ if using a weight watchers bread as your base.
