quick avocado recipes

Easy crock pot recipes…?

I would like some EASY crock pot recipes. I don’t remember what quart mine is or what the hours are for the hi & low settings (I do not have a warm setting). My daughter is 9 1/2 months old so I’d like some easy, quick recipes that would be ok for her especially. No citrus or strawberries or nuts or peanut butter.

I love using my crock pot. It is so easy to prepare and after a long day, you have your dinner waiting for you rather than slaving over a hot stove.

I have a recipe book called 365 Easy Chicken Recipes. We are not red meat eaters so this book is great, and it really is easy! I’ll give you a few of my favorites

Brocolli-Rice Chicken

2 pounds, boneless, skinles chicken halves
1 teaspoon dried parsley

This book isn’t just chicken recipes, they use turkey as well

I love avocados with a passion and am always looking for new ways to incorporate that delicious little fruit into my cooking. One of the best things to pair avocado with is delicious, crispy bacon. If you don’t believe me, just try making a BLT sandwich with mashed avocado instead of mayonnaise. You’ll never go back. Here are two recipes that accomplish just that. Give them a try and see if you don’t fall in love with avocado bacon recipes as well.

Avocado Salad With Bacon and Sour Cream

• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 avocados – peeled, pitted, and cubed
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt to taste
• red leaf lettuce

Cook the bacon until crisp. Allow it to drain on paper towels to drain off the fat. Crumble the bacon and mix it with the avocados, green onions, sour cream, lemon and salt. Spoon the mixture over red leaf lettuce.

Bacon Stuffed Avocados

• 8 slices crisp bacon, crumbled.
• 4 medium avocados, ripe and unpeeled.
• Lemon juice.
• ½ cup of butter.
• ¼ cup of brown sugar.
• ¼ cup of white wine vinegar.
• ¼ cup of garlic puree.
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Slice the avocados in half, then remove pits and brush with lemon juice. Fill the avocado with bacon.

Get out a small sauce pan and over medium heat stir together the lemon juice, butter, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then allow to cool slightly. Pour over the bacon stuffed avocados and serve.

Give these recipes a try and see if they don’t quickly become some of your own favorites. You’ll quickly turn into an avocado addict as well.
