Avocado Slicer & De-pitter Invention Review

Holy Guacamole!

This thing is awesome! My boyfriend gave it to me as an early Christmas gift while I was making breakfast on Sunday. Normally I wouldn't accept an early gift, but I asked if it would make breakfast better, and it sure did. Not only is this nifty gadget super functional, I found it fun to use. Maybe I'm just a freak, but I went out and bought a bunch of avocados and am planning on making the best guacamole ever for a party tomorrow night. I have always loved avocado, and even cutting it normally with a knife, but now... now, I better watch myself before I go eating 12 avocados a day. They are delicious, and in moderation good for you, so I must pace myself and feed others because there is no way I can not use this thing everyday. It's awesome!

You can buy it online at Williams-Sonoma for $9.95 or find it on amazon

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Bacon and Gouda

For all of you sweet potato fans out there, I highly suggest you start making your own. It is easy peasy and you can add whatever you may please to enhance the flavor.

 Ingredients

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Gouda cheese
  • Bacon bits
  • Vinegar or Vinaigrette
  • Seasonings as you please
    • salt
    • pepper
    • garlic powder
    • basil
    • BBQ seasoning
    • Red pepper flakes


Instructions


Start by pre-heating the oven to 450. Slice up potatoes and put in large baking dish greased with oil and vinegar(or vinaigrette). Add seasonings and bacon in layers so that no potato gets cooked naked. Place in oven before it reaches 450 -around 250 degrees. Leave in bottom rack until it reaches 450. Take out, stir around, and put back in oven for 7 minutes. Take out and sprinkle, or drench, in shredded gouda cheese. Place back in oven and watch until cheese begins to bubble... then they're ready!
