I tried a few new recipes tonight….. These 2 are worth repeating again…….and again!

Enjoy!

Tomato-Stuffed Avocados
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, quartered
1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves, julienned
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium ripe avocados, halved and pitted
2 teaspoons lime juice

In a large bowl, gently toss the tomatoes, onion, basil, salt and pepper. Spoon into avocado halves; drizzle with lime juice. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings

Twice-Baked Deviled Potatoes
4 small baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup real bacon bits
2 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
dash paprika

Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on microwave-safe plate. Microwave uncovered, on high for 7-10 minutes or until tender, turning once. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoot out pulp, leaving thin shells.

In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter and milk. Stir in cheese, bacon, onions, mustard and paprika. Spoon into potato shells. Return to the microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
