AVOCADO TACO BOATS

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
2 Large Avocados
4 Grape Tomatoes
4 Jalapeno Rings
1/4 Cup of Sour Cream
1/4 Cup of Salsa
3/4 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese - Shredded
3 Large Romaine Leaves - Shredded

***To season the meat I used Cumin, Chili Powder, Onion Salt, Garlic Powder, Celery Salt, and Pepper. You can use a taco seasoning packet but it ups the carb count quite a bit)

DIRECTIONS
Cook the ground beef with all of your seasonings over medium-high heat until the meat is cooked all the way - Drain excess grease from the pan

Cut the avocados in half and use a spoon to scoop out the avocado. If you slide a large spoon a long the edges, you should be able to get it out in one piece

In the empty avocado shells, add 1/4 of the shredded lettuce into the bottom of each shell

Next, add 1/4 of the ground beef into each shell

Top each one with cheese, salsa, sour cream, tomato, jalapeno and avocado.

DUTCH FUNNEL CAKES

3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oil in a cast iron skillet on medium high heat (for an electric frying pan preheat to 375 degrees). Leave room between the oil and the top of the pan to allow room for batter to be added. Beat eggs, add milk and sugar. Beat well. In a separate bowl, sift flour, salt and baking powder. Add to egg and milk mixture. Beat until batter is smooth. Batter should be thin enough to flow through the opening of your funnel. If needed, add a little more milk.

Put your finger over the bottom of the funnel and pour batter in top. Drizzle batter in hot oil making criss crosses and swirls. (I use a measuring cup with a thin spout to do this, easier for those of us less coordinated!). Let brown on bottom and then carefully flip it over with tongs to brown on the other side.

Place on a paper towel to drain for a minute or so and then serve warm with molasses, jelly or sprinkle with powdered sugar

Combine the cornmeal, flour, paprika, salt, pepper, and dill into another baking dish.

Thoroughly dry the pickles with paper towels. Dredge first through the wet, then the dry ingredients. Gently place pickles into the deep-fryer in batches and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray and immediately season with salt.

Turn oven to 350F and cook 1 hour. Remove brisket from cooking liquid, cover and set aside. Transfer liquid to medium pan and cook over medium heat until reduced to a glaze and thick enough to coat back of spoon. Using covered grill, light about 12 charcoal briquettes and add small piece of mesquite or other wood. Be sure to place charcoal and wood to one side of grill. Arrange brisket on grill so that it is not directly over burning wood. Paint it with some glaze. Place cover on grill and smoke brisket 1 hour, turning meat and coating with glaze every 15 minutes. Add charcoal or wood, small piece at a time, if fire seems to get too cold. Remove from grill, thinly slice meat against grain and serve. Offer any remaining glaze on side.
