AVOCADO RIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Take avocados and cut into and around the circumference of the avocado's pit.
• With both hands twist the two halves in opposite directions and pull apart.
• Remove the pit with a knife or a spoon.
• Carve out the flesh of the avocado with a tablespoon.
• Place avocados into a medium bowl and mash and stir until moderately creamy. I use a fork or a pastry blender.
• Some people like the avocados more chunky than others-- either way it tastes great.
• Add diced onion and tomatoes to the avocados.
• Add salt, pepper, tabasco sauce and lime juice and taste to see if seasoned enough to your liking.
• In a separate small bowl put in 2 tablespoons of the dip.
• Add 1 tbsp of sour cream and adjust your seasonings again.
• Taste it and decide if you prefer your guacamole with or without sour cream.
• If you like with sour cream add 4 tablespoons or more to the avocado mixture and adjust your seasonings again.
• If not, do nothing and leave it like it is.
• Serve chilled with chips or add a little to your taco salad, tacos or fajitas.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add avocado and beat for another 2 minutes. Stop mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed for 1 minute after each addition. Stop the mixer and scrape down to make sure everything is thoroughly mixed. Beat in vanilla.
• With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated. Add the buttermilk and the remaining flour mixture. Beat until just incorporated. Remove bowl from the stand mixer, and finish incorporating the batter with a spatula.
• Divide the batter between the pans and bake on alternating racks for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, rotate racks and bake for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cake will last, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to 4 days.
