Denver Eats: Quiero Arepas

I have a new obsession. And its called arepas. For the past couple of years I've seen the Quiero Arepas Truck a few places around Denver but it wasnt until two weeks ago at the Pearl Street Farmers Market that I actually decided to sample the goods. I then proceeded to go 3 times in 4 days.And then an additional two times this past week. For those who dont know, Arepas are a type of Venezuelan sandwich that is made using a home made grilled corn based flat bread that is out of this world. Everything on their menu is gluteon free and fresh and the service is amazing! Check out what I ordered below.

Reina Pepiada: An amazing take on chicken salad. Delicious rotisserie chicken mixed with avocado and light mayo and their signature avocado citrus dressing (it comes standard on all areapas). My favorite thing on the menu, hands down.
La Orginal: A mix of black beans, sweet plantains and avocado (pictured above). Black beans arent my fav but the plantains were the best ive ever tasted. 
La Queso: A mix of avocado, sweet plantains, and big huge slices of fresh mozzarella and shredded american cheese. Super refreshing and amazing when topped with cholula. The mozzerlla chunks are big enough that they stay nice and cold (as fresh motz should always be) even on top of the tasty sweet roasted plantains.
Refescos: A drink made of fresh squeezed guava, passion fruit, and orange juices (pictured above). They call it "heaven on your lips" and they arent lying. Its refreshing without being overly sweet or tart, tastes wholly natural and is served in a tall glass over lots of crushed ice.

New Surprising Favorite Breakfast

I've never never been found of tomatoes. I think they are soggy, watery, over used, and often ruin a good sandwich. However, lately I have found myself strangely drawn to them. I still wont be ordering them on a burger or a turkey sandwich anytime soon but after hearing my friend Emily rave about a wonderful heirloom tomato that she had purchased at whole foods and ate seasoned and topped with Burrata I felt myself compelled to try one. Since buying one on Monday I have been semi addicted to the firm, yet sweet and flavorful fruit. The past few mornings I have enjoyed a thick slice of itm heavily seasoned with salt and pepper on top on an English muffin with a light smear of Burrata. Last night I even found myself cutting up a few slices and placing them on a plate and eating them with nothing more then olive oil, salt, pepper, and some sprinkling of basil leaves taken from my balcony garden. Considering its been over 100 degrees for the past few days, I've gladly welcomed this new item into my diet. I highly suggest you all hit up whole foods and take advantage of these tomatoes before the season ends!!

Cooking 1.0.1: Salami, Arugula, and Jalapeno Cream Cheese Sandwich

This isnt the first time I've spoken about my love for a simple salami sandwich. I like them so much that I usually cant even keep salami in the house because I eat it to excess. However, after coming across this decadent sandwich on Martha Stewarts Website and realizing I had all the ingredients besides the Salami, I decided to go for it. It was one of the best sandwich combinations I have created. I used oatnut bread (which is so good it doesnt even need to be toasted), lots of spicy arugula, simple oscar meyer beef salami (why paint the peacock), and a generous spread of Philadelphia's jalapeno cream cheese. I even recreated it this morning open-faced on a whole grain english muffin for breakfast and it kept me full for hours. YUM!

Denver Eats: Hey PBJ

Peanut Butter and Jelly is one of my vices. I'm obsessed with it. I'm actually just obsessed with peanut butter in general but there is something about an old school PB and Jay that really hits the spot. Once I heard that there was a gourmet PB&J food truck roaming around Denver, I naturally made every effort possible to track it down. And then ate it twice in 5 days. I can safely say it's one of the best things i've eaten in Denver.  Check out my picks below. Ps: they only serve milk, diet coke, and water to drink. How cute is that?

• The Barcelona: An AMAZING combination of almond butter, date jam, manchengo, applewood smoked bacon, and sherry onions. At first I thought it was going to be too over whelming but its actually perfect. The bacon is never chewy, the onions are perfectly cooked, and its surprisingly easy to eat (they give you a wet nap just in case).
• The Figgy Piggy: a Combo of almond butter, fig jam, goat cheese, bacon, and rosemary honey. I actually thought that this would be my first pick but it turned out to be a little sweet for me. It was still delicious though and I'd def recommenced it to anyone who prefers sweet over savory! 

Cooking 1.0.1: Almond, Raspberry Wasabi Mustard, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese

It's probably pretty obvious by now that I will not be making my goal of cooking 101 new recipes in 2013. That being said, I'm still continuing to try and cook the highest amount of recipes I can without A. Breaking the bank and B. gaining 10000 lbs. Last week I cooked my 41st dish, a good but slightly strange version of a grilled cheese that I saw on pinterest. If I were to do it again I'd skip the almonds and make it with American cheese instead. I'm not going to list the recipe since I think it is pretty self explanatory (and because im lazy as fuck right now). While this sandwich wasnt my favorite thing that I have made, the mustard I used in it is fantastic (and I'm not even a big mustard fan). It can be purchased here.

Boulder Eats: Cheese Louise

Everyone loves grilled cheese. Everyone also loves a good food truck. I was lucky enough to bump into the Cheese Louise Food Truck in Boulder the other day. While I was super super tempted by "The Bries Knees" and "The Salami Mami" I got suckered into ordering the "Ol'yella" since it was the trucks two year anniversary and they were offering the yella for $3. The brown sugar and mustard went perfectly together, creating a tangy and crunchy combination that melted in my mouth. Oh and the bread? It comes straight from The Med restaurant. Decadent!

Ps: sorry I have been slacking on the blog. Job and grad school aps and eating have been taking up all of my energy. 

Food Favorite: Avocado Toast

This weekend up in Vail I ran into my friend Kari whom I hadnt seen in over a year. We got to talking about a brunch my friend Teale thru at her house a couple of years ago. Kari told me how much she loved the avocado toast I brought and asked me if she could have the recipe since she liked it so much. Around the time of this brunch, I was going thru a major addiction with avocado toast. I would have maybe three or four slices a day and I was buying avocados in bulk quantities. I was first inspired to try it after reading about it on The Wednesday Chef, who makes hers with a delish combination of mayo and mustard. I soon sought out other versions of the delicious toast, taking inspiration from the Cafe Gitane in NYC. Check out the recipes for my two favorite versions below. Happy Monday!

Ingrendients and Preparartion (makes one slice)

• One slice bread of your choice, toasted.
• 1/2 an avocado

For Wednesday Chef version...

• One teaspoon light mayo mixed with one teaspoon spicy ground mustard (I like mister mustard best)
• Squirt of Lemon Juice
• Red pepper flakes.
• Place Mayo and mustard spread on toast. Top with mashed avocado, lemon juice, and pepper flakes. Eat and enjoy!

For Cafe Giante Version...

• Tapito Hot sauce
• Truffle infused olive oil
• Top toast with mashed avocado. Add olive oil and hot sauce to taste. Eat and Enjoy!

Food Favorites: 4th of July Drink

Okay so maybe it didnt look like this, but my friend Belen came up with a 4th of July cocktail using bombpops, which happen to be one of my favorite desserts. Sure, it might be sickeningly sweet and give you a horrible hangover but isnt that what Americas all about? Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Ingredients and Preparation 

• Two Bomb Pops, removed from sticks
• One Cup Ice
• 3/4 cup Sprite
• Three Shots blueberry vodka
• 1/2 a cup frozen or fresh strawberries
• Blend and enjoy!

Sweet God.

Texas Toast. Avocado. Spicy sauce. Bacon. Jalapenos. Pants off. 

How could this burger debute the day I left Texas??? God damn you whataburger. 

Boulder

There are few places that I find as magical as Boulder. I'm a little biased since I went to college there, but I still think you'd be hard pressed to find a city that does summer as well as Boulder. Between the gorgeous creek, the proximity of awesome camping sites in Nederland, and tons of great rooftops bars summer and Boulder are a match made in Heaven. Last week I was lucky enough to venture down to Boulder twice, once for a doctors appointment and once to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon with my friends. I spent my time walking around pearl street, dipping my legs in the creek, eating amazing food (more on that later) and just soaking up the general awesomeness. Everytime I go to Boulder I leave a little sad when I realize how far away those carefree college days really are behind me now (how did I graduate four years ago? Whattttt?) but I also feel a great sense of gratitude of how close I still am to one of my favorite places in the US. 

LA

As much as I love Denver, I usually cant go a month without jetting off to another city. I blame this on the fact that I have friends who not only live in Amazing cities (Austin, Chicago, LA, and New York) but who are also amazing tour guides (Thank you Austiniets Teale, Emily, Amanda, Allison and Chris  Chicagans Ross, Ryan and Josh  LAites Kelly, Natalya, Mike, Taylor and Kevin and New Yorkers Katy, Mitch, Hayley, Brendan and Blair!). My last trip on June 14th for ym friend Kelly's 26th birthday party was deffiently one of my favorite trips ever. Her and my other friend Natalya recently moved into an adorable condo 6 blocks from the beach In Santa Monica. Santa Monica has always been my favorite part of LA, ever since I went there with my friend Patti when we were 18. Everything is so bright, warm, and colorful that it actually feels sort of like living in a dream. Although my trip was short, we made sure to enjoy the wonderful weather as much as possible.
Upon landing around 6:30 on Friday night, I quickly rushed back to the girls condo and changed as quickly as possible so we could walk down to the Huntley Hotel Penthouse to grab a drink before our 9:30 reservation at Fig. The Penthouse was hands down one of the coolest places I've been to. The hotel itself is fantastic, managing to be both modern yet sophisticated and cozy. The penthouse offers stunning views of the Santa Monica water and even though it was dark I could still see the sweeping beach line and towering palm trees. We got lucky and managed to catch a group of girls who were leaving the bar just as we got in so we were able to snag their seats. They also gave us a drink recommendation, the Aperol Smash, which is something we would have never thought to order otherwise. I'm not kidding when I say it was the best drink I've ever ordered at a bar. Light, refreshing, and full of fresh fruit and top shelf liquor. While the drinks there are certainly expensive, they all look insanely impressive. Brightly colored with big chunks of fruit around the rim, made with only pure ingredients and top shelf (no shitty sugary mixtures here). The staff is also super attentive and friendly. Great experience for sure.
After finishing up our drink (plus an extra one that was purchased for us by a nice gentleman at the other end of the bar) we went over to Fig which is located in the Fairmont hotel to have a light dinner. Ironically, I had been reading rave reviews about Fig in my in flight magazine on the plane on the way to LA, so I was pretty pleased when Natalya suggested we go there. We got lucky and were able to snag a cute table right outside by the quiant swimming pool which was lit up and surrounded by tress with tiny Christmas lights. We all ordered a tequila blackberry drink which was good but couldn't really hold a candle to the decadent drink at the Penthouse. We shared the salami plate, the queso fundido, and the mushroom risotto, all which were yummy and gave us a good base for the night of drinking ahead. Once we were done eating we headed over to the Shangri La Hotel where one of Natalyas friends had rented out the entire rooftop and penthouse suite for a party. The suite was pretty awesome with cool red leather chairs and fire places that helped warm us up once the weather started turning a little windy. The rooftop was amazing with tons of strings to twinkle lights and big striped ottomans for us to plop down on. After Shangri La, we grabbed a cab and headed to The Buffalo Club to meet our college friends, Danika and Angela. The buff club was pretty insanely packed and not my favorite spot that I've been to in LA, but it was great to see Danika and Angela who I hadnt really seen in a couple of years. We also ran into a couple of Natalyas friends from New York, proving how small this world actually is. Once last call hit, we naturally got a ride home from the bouncer and passed out on the floor of the apartment while watching "Hunger Games".
The next day we woke up early so we could explore a little bit before getting ready for Kelly's birthday party at 4:00. We walked down to Montana Ave where we had breakfast at Babalu, this cute little bakery/cafe where we sat at tables that were positioned on the grassy knoll in-between the street and the side walk. We got fresh fruit and south western eggs washed down with bottomless mimosas before we headed out to Stephanie Grace where I picked up a cute cactus for my apartment. After making a quick stop to pick up balloons and booze for Kellys birthday, Kelly and I took a stroll down to the 3rd street promenade to check out Brandy Melville where we bough matching phone cases and tank tops (did I mention that we were wearing the matching cat tanks above when this occurred?).
Around 4:00, our other friends began to arrive and we did a little pre gamming before heading out to the The Bungalow. The bungalow is seriously magical. It actually feels/looks as if you are just partying at someones beach house. Our group got there early enough to beat the usually hour long lines and we quickly parked ourselves out there for the next six hours to celebrate Kelly's 26th. Best time ever. At around 11:00, Natalya , Cortney and I decided to take a cab down to Venice and check out out some of the bars there where we ordered fireball shots and cheeseburgers. We finally made it back to Natalyas around 2:00am, where I instantly fell asleep in my dress on top of the covers. Solid evening.
Sunday was my last day, so we powered thru our hangovers and went and had lunch at The Misfit. The food was honestly incredible. We decided to eat family style and ordered Mac and Cheese, Fries, Prime Rib sliders, bacon wrapped dates, roasted brussel sprouts, and crispy lobster sliders. Pure insanity and the perfect way to end my trip. I wound up getting a sun head ach towards the end of the day, so I squeezed in a quick nap before I took a shuttle to the airport. My flight was an hour delayed which wound up being sort of a blessing since I was able to watch the Spurs game in an airport bar. I didn't get home till after 1:00 am Denver time but it was well worth it. Everytime I go to LA I like it more and more and I cant wait to go back and explore more of the wonderful city! Thanks again girls for such a great trip!!

Denver Eats: Tag Burger Bar

My mom has always said that the main reason she could never become a vegetarian is because of cheeseburgers. At first, I thought this was sort of odd. I mean, think of all the other orgasmic meat based dishes. Short ribs. Bacon wrapped dates. Scallops with fois gras. My opinion instantly changed when I saw an episode of "The best thing I ever ate" that was based around burgers. I had a total epiphany on just how much I really love and appreciate a good burger (case in point: I've had 4 burgers since Saturday night, oops). So imagine my pure and utter elation when Tag, one of my favorite places in Denver, decided to open a burger bar. To say that I'm obsessed would be an understatement. Everything on the menu has exceeded my expectations, including items I never thought I'd like. Check out what I've eaten below!

• Fried Pickles with Spicy Ranch- Fried pickles are currently experiencing a wave of popularity. And with good reason. It's a combination made in heaven. Tags version of are the knife and fork variety, long semi sweet speers covered in a light breading then dipped in tangy homemade ranch. Perfect for sharing with the table. YUM.
• Crispy Brussels Sprouts- Confession: I never had brussel sprouts till last year. Since then I have become kind of obsessed with them, especially those of the fried variety. These are flash fried so they dont have a coat of breading, they are just crispy and delicious. They are very filling so dont plan sharing!
• Duck Fat Fries with Tag Spice- These are hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten in Denver. Although they are something that I wouldnt normally order I decided to take the plunge and order them after seeing Tony Bourdain (my idol) rave about the wonder of duck fat fries. They are incredible. Sweet, salty, spicy, crispy, and utterly orgasmic when ordered with a side of tag sauce for dipping. They are also super cheap, costing only $2.50 for a super larger portion.
• Truffle Parm Fries- I've always loved truffle but for many it can be overwhelming. The good thing about tags truffle fries is that they are not coated in truffle oil. The are simple a serving of their classic french fries which are then sprinkled with truffle aoli and shaved Parmesan. Yum. 
• Old School Russets- Just their normal fries, although they should not be over looked. They are shoe string, cripsy and delicious and always cooked to pure fried perfection.
• The Old School- This is tags standard issue burger. It may seem boring in comparison to some of the rest, but it is truely amazing. Covered in american cheese, tag sauce (a spin on thousand island), and grilled onions and pickles its perfect for those who just perfect to keep it classic.
• The Colorado Proud- This burger is probably my favorite on the menu. I've had it with beef, lamb, and buffalo patties and each time it was delicious. Its topped with all local ingredients including haystack goat cheese, honey, and spicy green chilis. A winning combination. 
• The Menage a Trois- I have to say, I was pretty surprised at how much I liked this burger. It comes in second place for my favorite menu item, which is odd considering I'm usually pretty wary about mustard and this one comes with a huge dollop of grey poupon. The other ingredients making up the three some? French onion "soup onions" and mounds of gruyere. Mouth party.
• Apple Pie Milkshake- This shake is literally vanilla ice cream, milk, and a whole slice of apple pie blended together. It tastes like cinnamon toast crunch milk. Order the $4 kids size to top off your meal. Trust me.
• Black Rose- The only alcoholic beverage I ever order here. Its borrowed from Tag and is seriously incredible. A cool spin on sangria, it has rose, vodka, and blackberry puree. It's delicious and incredibly refeshing and I never can get away with just ordering one.

Cooking 1.0.1: Potato and Egg Tacos (Day 31)

I still remember my first breakfast taco. My family and I had moved to San Antonio one month prior and had decided to make the four hour treck down to the coast for the weekend. It was a pretty eventful trip Early in the day my sister accidentally slammed the upper part of my arm in the car door causing me to get an 8 inch dark purple bruise. Later,  my Dad cut his hand open trying to open a bottle of wine with a carrot peeler. So we went to the ER so he could get stitches and a nurse called the cops because she thought my bruise was the result of child abuse at the hands of the man who was so desperate to have a glass of wine at 11:00 am that wound up needing 12 stitches. All these things might have soured the trip, but luckily I was still on a high from wolfing down two potato and egg tacos with red salsa from taco cabana, I place that until that morning I had deemed revolting and scary. Since then potato and egg has always been my taco of choice. Growing up I ate one pretty much every day but Ironically Ive never tried making them at home.  Inspired by Viva burritos french fry and egg burrito and a seductive picture of a sriracha and potato omelette on pinterest (id link it up here but my fucking office decided to block pinterest this morning) I decided to give it a whirl. The only thing that was missing in my kitchen was classic mexican salsa (which can only really be gotten locally at viva burrito) and a homemade flour tortilla. Too lazy to venture outside, I opted to use corn tortillas and and sriracha instead. While not as authentic as I would have liked, my breakfast-for-dinner creation was still pretty damn delicious. Enjoy!

Ingredients (Makes two tacos)

• Two eggs or four egg whites
• Two corn tortillas
• 1 1/2 cups oven baked french fries (use a good brand. Not that oreda shit. I used Alexis organic)
• Cooking spray
• Sriracha

Preparation

• Pre heat oven and make fries according to package direction. Let cool for 3 mins. Chop into bite sized pieces. 
• Get two frying pans. Coat both in cooking spray. In one, add eggs. In the other, add tortillas
• Slowly stir the eggs over medium heat until they start to scramble. When they are almost fully cooked, but still a little wet, add fries to mixture and stir so the eggs and the fries stick together.
• As the eggs are cooking, crips the corn tortillas in the pan so they are slightly crunchy. About 2-3 mins on each side.
• Add egg and fry mixture to the tortillas and top with sriracha. Add cheese if desired. Enjoy!!!

Cooking 1.0.1: Cheesy Artichoke Bread (Day 16)

Artichoke hearts are amazing and if you dont like them something is seriously wrong with you. My cheesy artichoke bread takes it to a whole other level. Please excuse the shitty picture above. 

Ingredients

• One cup artichoke hearts (I used canned)
• One clove garlic, pealed.
• One cup shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup crumbled Parmesan. 

Preparation

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.Cut bread into four halves and place on baking sheet and cook till lightly brown and toasted.
• While bread is still hot, rub with the clove of garlic. The heat of the bread will melt the garlic letting the flavor soak in.
• Top the 4 halves with one layer of mozzarella, one layer of artichoke hearts, and additional mozzarella on top. Place back in the oven until cheese has melted. 
• Remove from oven, top with parmesan. Let the parm melt for 2-3 mins. Eat and enjoy!

Food Favorite: Salsa Eggs

I have a love hate relationship with eggs. Even though they are healthy, in expensive, and filling I hate runny yolk so I struggle with finding new and yummy ways to eat them. One of my favorite ways to cook eggs comes from the "Eat This, Not that!" cook book. It only involves three ingredients, keeps me full for hours, and satisfies my love for spicy. 

Ingredients

• Two egg whites or one egg
• 2/3 a cup chunky salsa (I actually use tostinos brand since its incredibly chunky)
• 1/2 a cup tortilla strip salad toppers
• Cooking spray

Preparation

• Spray frying pan with cooking spray and ass salsa. Cook over medium heat till it starts to bubble. Crack in egg whites and slowly stir mixture together. The hot salsa will slowly cook ans scramble the eggs.
• When eggs are almost cooked add in crunchy tortilla strips. Stir mixture together and enjoy!

Cooking 1.0.1: Mango Lassi (Day 35)

Four years ago in Victoria, British Columbia, I had my first Mango Lassi at the Bengal Lounge. Designed to battle the intense heat that comes from Indian food, mango lassi's are a sweet and creamy concoction of mango, yogurt, and spices that are blended to a cool perfection with a texture that is somewhere between a margarita and a smoothie. While I usually treat myself to ones from Bombay Bowl, last week I decided to whip up my own version. Instead of looking up a recipe I decided to use my past smoothie knowledge and wing it. It took me awhile to track down some mangos but it was well worth the effort. My only regret is that I didnt have some delicious potato stuffed nan and chicken tikka masala to go with it. Well, that and the fact that I drank it down so fast I didnt have time to photograph it, hahah.

Ingredients and Preparation

• 3/4 a cup chopped mango
• 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
• 4 ice cubes
• 1/2 tea spoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar
• Combine, Blend, and enjoy!

Food Favorite: Beach Bowl

Work at Rush for three years in college pretty much made me an expert in all things smoothie related. The smoothies there were delicious but our best sellers were with out a doubt our acai bowls blended and topped with granola and honey. When I first starting working there I had never even heard of the super fruit known as Acai. As it turns out, its pretty delicious. Packed with an astronomical amount of antioxidants, acai tastes sort of like a chocolate covered blueberry (or so my boss claimed). We had three different versions of the bowl but the best seller was the definitely the beach bowl. Wanna try one at home? Heres the dealio:

Ingredients and Preparation 

• 1/2 a cup guava juice
• 1/2 cup frozen bananas 
• 1/2 cup frozen mangos
• Two packs of frozen acai (sambazon brand), lightly softened in hot water.
• 1/2 cup hemp granola
• 1/4 cup honey
• Place all ingredients besides honey and granola in a blender and pulse till blended but still thick
• Top with granola and honey and enjoy!

Denver Eats: Pinches Tacos

It's no secret that tacos are my favorite food in the world. Generally I prefer the basic San Antonio no frill style of tacos but Pinches has totally impressed me with their fun and unique take on Tex Mex. I mean, whats not to love about a place that advertises it self with the three magic words of "Tequila, Whiskey, and Tacos"? I've been three times and have tried almost everything on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Here are the highlights:

• Queso a la plancha: This is their signature vegetarian taco which can be seen in the middle of the picture above. It is a combination of grilled cheese, tomatillo salsa and avocado cream. Every time I have gone and asked for recommendations the servers have always listed this little gem first. It seems kind of boring but it really is out of this world delicious.
• Carnitas: I'm not a pork fan and had never even really experienced carnitas until my friends boyfriend convinced me to try this taco which is pictured on the left. O.M.G. It is 100% my favorite thing on the menu. Its crispy, flavorful (without tasting too pig like) and has just the right amount of spice. Insane.
• Lengua: The tongue taco. I have never tried tongue so I decided to go for it. It was good, it tasted alot like pot roast. Sadly, I could only have a couple of bites before I got weirded  out and had to put in down.
• Shrimp and Scallop: Pictured on the right, the shrimp and scallop taco is perfect if you are looking for something light. It didnt have that much scallop in it but it was incredibly spicy and the vegetables were very crisp making it an ideal choice for when we were sitting outside in the 80 degree heat.
• Crispy chicken skins: Chicken skin is one of my vices. I know it seems gross but its really actually pretty amazing. This fried skins (just like pork rinds) are the perfect bar snack. They are $3 during happy hour and come with a very tangy lime dipping sauce. They are not chewy what so ever so anyone who has issues with eating weird textured stuff should not have an issue. Incredible
• The Paloma: an amazing cocktail make with grapefruit juice and tequila. Only $3 during happy hour. The ratio of grapefruit to tequila is total perfection

You Fancy, Huh?

Today is a day that will go down in history. Whataburger Fancy and Spicy Ketchup are now available for purchase in Texas HEB stores. My brothers girlfriend texted me today at 8:00am to let me know that she was already at the store securing a few bottles. How many bottles do you think is reasonable for me to put in my suitcase after this weekend? 8? 10?

Cooking 1.0.1: Feta, Avocado, and Corn Dip (Day 21)

I've never met a dip I didnt like. When I read about Alex's feta and avocado dip I new I had to whip up a batch. That huge tray pictured above? I devoured the whole thing myself in less than three days. It was delicious on tortilla chips as well as on toast in the morning!

Ingredients and Preparation 

• Two avocados cut into chunks
• Two cans or three ears corn
• One red onion, chopped.
• Twelve ounces crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup olive oil (optional)
• Crushed red pepper and salt to taste
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mix and enjoy!
