Avocado Blue Cheese Dressing

this recipe

Ahhhvocado.

The vegetable (fruit?) that makes everything better.

Even buttercream frosting, or so this lady says.

That frosting is at the top of my list of things to try, and after yesterday’s experiment with radishes, I’m feeling especially gutsy.

Also on my list of things to try:

1. Beets (remember yesterday’s rant about dirty vegetables)?
2. Saving money… for a Ralph Lauren swimsuit.
3. A personal training session to help with said swimsuit.
4. Eating Peanut Butter Snickers for breakfast (and repeat #3).
5. Convincing the man of my dreams to get me a baby dog.
6. Making a salad that doesn’t taste like a salad.

The front runner is definitely #6. Which allows me to back off on #3. I like.

Grilled romaine + grilled chicken + sauteed red onions + tomatoes. And many spoonfuls of this avocado blue cheese dressing.
