Happy New Year friends! AAAHhhhhh….. the new year.. time for new goals, new directions, and new dishes! I’ve had so much time off in the past few weeks it’s crazy! I’m not used to that much free time. I spent a few days in Los Angeles hanging out with my dad. I did as much sleeping, eating, and binge watched as many crime shows as I could. It was heaven. I came home and spent the new year by cozying up in my house, and falling asleep by 9pm. It was perfect! The one thing I love to do when I am home more is cook at home more! We recently got a new oven and an airfryer, so I’ve been playing around with sweet and savory foods. It’s been a really nice holiday break, but I’m ready to get back to work! These next few weeks are looking busy for us as we are preparing to open another new restaurant! Yes, ANOTHER new one! This one is up in Broomfield, Colorado, and will be a casual taco joint with colorful artwork, lots of tequila, and some delicious casual desserts from ya girl!
It is January and in case anyone has resolved to eat healthier, I wanted to share a really great avocado recipe! Not that I particularly created this recipe to be healthy (as it is quite delicious), but I thought it’d fit the bill! This recipe is just a basic pancake recipe but with pureed avocado in it. It turns the pancake a bright green color, and keeps the pancake very moist! It’s just a touch sweet with the brown sugar, but the avocado flavor really shines. Takes 5 minutes to whip up and cooks quickly in a nonstick pan or griddle! Top with banana, blueberries, syrup, or more avocado!
