Bacon Guacamole


So, here's the thing. Bacon is so played out in the food world right now. We have bacon chocolate bars, bacon oil, bacon salt, bacon print band-aids, and bacon sundaes at Burger King. There is even a small restaurant in Austin, Texas called Bacon that serves, well, everything bacon (try the the bacon doughnut...just do it). Some truly sad souls people have a difficult time understanding why bacon should play such a leading role off the breakfast table. I say everything should taste like bacon. Bring it!

Here is my small contribution to our over-saturated bacon kingdom, Bacon Guacamole.  

I actually shed a tear when I tasted this.

You can thank me later...

Bacon Guacamole
Time in kitchen: 10 minutes
Servings: 8 (2 T serving)
Nutrition information per serving:  100 calories, 9 grams fat, 3 grams fiber, 2 grams protein, 4 carbs

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados 
the juice of 1/2 lime (or more to taste)
1 small garlic clove, grated
1 T fresh cilantro, chopped
1 T salsa (your favorite will do)
3 strips crispy bacon, diced

In a large bowl, mash the avocado flesh with lime juice, grated garlic, cilantro, and salsa. Fold in the bacon. I suggest adding salt after tasting since the bacon and salsa is quite salty already. 

Friggen enjoy!

    1. Hah! It's so funny I thought the summer was going to give me more time to play on the blog since school was out. But as soon as school starts again I get the urge to post more and more. I think it's a procrastination technique (shhh, don't tell anyone). Bacon chocolate chip cookies...ohhhhhh no...don't even get me started.

  11. Well of course. SALT. And smoky flavor.

    There is a little butcher near us that makes the most incredible bacon I've ever tasted. I lean towards vegetarianism ... except when I'm there. It's that good.

    I happen to have a ripe avocado in the kitchen, too. Ha ... world domination awaits.

Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs

The Baltimore Farmer’s Market was beaming with pride as the stalls opened for the season on Sunday morning, and it has good reason to be prideful. It was recently voted #1 Farmer’s Market in the nation by Country Living.   Since it was 7:00 am after a long night out I was appropriately armed with coffee, sun glasses, and hippy-ass reusable tote bags. Asparagus has been in the forefront of my thoughts since eating a memorably crisp asparagus salad at Woodberry Kitchen . When I saw a pile of garden-fresh spears I couldn’t resist getting a few bundles for the week as well as my fair share of blue kale, foraged mushrooms, spinach, organic quail eggs, ramps, and a multitude of other goodies.   It is going to be a wonderfully food-filled week. Grilled Asparagus Salad with Fried Quail Eggs utilizes many of the seasonal ingredients I scored at the market. It’s only lightly seasoned to give the ingredients the stage. Fresh tarragon is laced throughout and the yolk from the gent...

“My Sweet” Chorizo Con Papas Bake

  In the food world some things just belong together.  Peanut butter and jelly.  Macaroni and cheese.  Sweet potato and chorizo… rewind… sweet potato and chorizo? Yes, indeed. Sweet potato and chorizo is the ultimate pairing. One is sweet, unassuming and full of wholesome integrity. The other is spicy, daring and playful. When you put the two together it’s like Romeo and Juliet living happily ever after. It is the just ending to a rebellious love affair. This combination was originally conceived in Latin America with a humble dish called chorizo con papas traditionally served in a soft tortilla at breakfast time. I was like a conquistador conquering new land as I rummaged through the fridge craving breakfast for dinner. Laid out in front of me was Mexican chorizo, fresh cilantro, eggs and baby sweet potatoes. The perfect ingredients for what turned out to be the one of the best concoctions ever made in my kitchen.   My Sweet Chorizo Con ...
