The Best Salad

It actually doesn't matter what you put in the salad, as long as you include avocado. I like to use all the veggies I have on hand. Today it was cucumber, broccoli, bell pepper, avocado, corn, feta, tomato, and pine nuts. The key ingredient, besides the avocado, is this dressing.

Healthy Banana Muffins

I had three overripe bananas, with which I planned to whip up a loaf of my usual Banana Bread, but lately I've been more interested in alternative ingredients to make my favorite things. So I stumbled upon this recipe and saw that it's made with yogurt, no butter!

Super easy to make, and boy are they delicious. I made mini muffins, so I just put them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes, and they turned out just right. We'll see how they hold up for tomorrow morning.

LOST Finale!

We are so excited/terribly depressed to watch the finale of Lost tonight. It's been 6 seasons worth of standing dates with the television. And now, after tonight, it will be all over.
I really wanted to have a full, all out Lost-themed dinner party, but due to lack of attendees it just didn't seem worth it. So we are having Jack and "Smoke" Muenster(monster) cheese with crackers, Hawaiian pizza, and for dessert, Dharma Initiative frosted cookies.

Other items I thought would have made the night: fried chicken (for Hurley), Cupcake Royale's cupcake called "Kate", "Jin" and tonic, "Sun"daes, Good "Hume"or bars, Lox (for Locke), fancy whiskey, fish biscuits, and listening to some "Miles" Davis. I'm sure I could have come up with many more but this list is pretty good.

I love themed dinners/parties/events!

During the last presidential race, we threw an inauguration party with: Barackoli, Michello shots, Obasagna, Obalad featuring Michield greens, Oberries, and Yes We Candied walnuts, InsprirationALE, Freedom Fruit Salad, Biden Bread, and hope for Americookies. It was so fun.

I would really enjoy party planning, I think. It could make for a good part time job :) Too bad, in this economy, the demand for party planners isn't as high as it used to be...
