Avocado Bacon Boats
"This is another recipe from the "1 of a Kind" cookbook of the Junior League of Mobile, AL. Altho somewhat similar to another recipe here on RZ that I liked & reviewed, this version expands the concept. Yield was given as 6 servings, but I like this so much that I would want 2 for me! Enjoy!"

Those deep south Junior League cookbooks are dangerous! (I know...I have a bunch myself--Baton Rouge and Monroe, Louisiana, Charleston, South Carolina and half a dozen more). These boats are so rich there is no way I could eat two of them in one sitting. They are luscious, easy, impressive. Did I say rich?! Perfect for a formal "ladies luncheon"...perfect for an informal meal for one. I used lime juice and it was perfect. Thanks, twissis.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
