7 Layer Dip

If you don't like Cilantro (or black olives for that matter), STEP AWAY from the 7 Layer Dip.

I make it and I only make it one way.

There's a FOREST of cilantro in there.

So, please, if you are not a cilantro lover, don't bother dishing it up and wasting it. Just step away. This little baby is for Meg's Trifecta celebration tomorrow night (baby shower / birthday / girls' night) reason to party.


I've found that people fall into one of two groups: Cilantro Lovers or Cilantro Haters.

Don't be a hater.

Refried beans
Sour cream
Salsa

The New BLT...with Avocado!

Here's a new twist on an old favorite....discovered this weekend by my husband.

Was BLT....Now BAST (Bacon. Avocado. Spinach. Tomato.) It will always be a "fat bastard" to us now! [pardon my french]

This was kind of an accident. We had all of the above in the fridge, but no lettuce. We decided fresh spinach would make it even better. And we'd happened to pick up some 'day old' ciabatta rolls the day before. Jimmie cooked the bacon to perfection, salted the avocado and tomato, de-stemmed the spinach leaves and toasted the ciabatta. To. Perfection.

Food pictures never do the real thing justice, but I tried.

I don't think we'll ever go back.
