Avocados much?.... :)

Take a gander at this thing of beauty.

This is the avocado tree in our back yard and she's quite

the giver.

I like to find new ways to use all those avocados. I mean, one can

only eat so much avo toast and guacamole right? 

Wrong. Most people could eat it every day of their lives

and then some!

( I eat my avo toast with berries and avocado honey- delish!)

Anyway last week my sister sent me this recipe for Avocado Deviled Eggs.

Deviled eggs.... why are they called that??

I did what all inquisitive gals would do!

I asked my mom.

She was super helpful.

Oh how I wish you all could get texts from my mom.

Seriously, she called me a gringo.

Aaaaahahaaaa!!

Avocado Deviled Eggs

6 hard boiled eggs 

Mash together:

1 avocado

egg yolks

1 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp onion powder

1 clove garlic minced

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

I went out back to try to find a ripe avocado that our fat ass backyard squirrel hadn't

sunk his teeth into yet.

I found one. ONE!! 

He literally takes one bite out of the biggest best avocados,

and then tosses them on the ground to die. He's such a jerk!

Oh yeah, the recipe..

I added a pinch of this sweet goodness to the mash and

then sprinkled a tad bit on the top of them too.

Oh AND a bit of crumbled applewood smoked

bacon on the top added just the right amount of...

DELICIOUS!!

So this gringo looked it up. 

I guess the term deviled was first referenced back in the

late 1700's as a culinary term to describe dishes that included highly seasoned 

or spicy ingredients.

Go ahead and file that under completely useless information,

 it won't hurt my feelings.
