Bacon, Avocado, Feta - Ice Cream?


Any self-respecting child has dreamed of having ice cream for dinner. Not just as a distant finish, but right up front at the starting line. Regrettably, by the time we’re old enough to make the dream come true, sense and scruples have taken over. We dutifully eat our entrĂ©e and our salad, and hold the shivery delights until the very end.
Why not realize the dream? I’m not talking about sweet iced treats; I’m talking about savory ice creams and sorbets. Forget chocolate and fruit: everything from cheese to fresh peas can be made into a sublime frozen concoction.

It's a heck of a premise!  Read on, and if you tackle this please let me know what you think.

Bacon Avocado "Sammies"


"Some of y'all may or may not know this (and if you don't you're either new or haven't been paying attention) but I have been on a bit of a health kick for the past 4-5 years. So, two things you must know..
"#1 - Carbs are evil and are subsequently responsible for every terrible thing that has ever happened
"#2- I hate oatmeal, seriously.
"Don't believe me? Well, before the 2011 season, I sacrificed my health to the football gods to secure a 'Bama natty title and they rewarded us handsomely...YOU'RE WELCOME"
Wisdom from the blog www.rollbamaroll.com:
  • "Stop believing the lie that fat is bad for you. Eating healthy fats is good; eating processed carbs is bad.
  • "Organic veggies and protein > Processed crap.
  • "Carbs should only make up about < 15-20% of your daily calories, Protein 35-40% and Healthy Fat 45-50%
  • "For something to taste good, it doesn't HAVE to be deep fried and does not necessarily HAVE to be swimming in BBQ sauce. I know, shocker, right?"
The recipe that follows is a marvel - bacon and avocado sandwiches!  Read and enjoy.
