24 Weeks: Tostadas With Salted Caramel

KERF + BERF are blending into one! After an afternoon of writing, it’s hard not to start my KERF posts with my weeks of pregnancy : )

IMG_0646

Usually the food is a giveaway which blog I’m writing for : ) This was a banana, milk, yogurt and peanut butter smoothie topped with Oh’s!

IMG_0647

This evening Hillary brought over dinner and a movie! Just like the ole LOST days. Matt and I helped assemble these great tostadas!

IMG_0650

Layers of crunchy tostada chips with refried beans, chicken seasoned with taco sauce, melty cheese and jalapenos.

IMG_0651

Baked at 350* for 15 minutes!

IMG_0652

We ate them with a knife and fork, and they were delicious!

IMG_0657

Matt made an avocado crema with 1 avocado, about 1/3 cup greek yogurt, Southwest seasoning, lemon juice and salt. This was SO GOOD – the best of quac and sour cream in one! Served over a “salad.”

IMG_0653

Over dinner we watched “No Woman No Cry,” a documentary by Every Mother Counts and Christy Turlington Burns. The film follows the stories of high-risk pregnancies in other parts of the world – where hospital care is scarce. I will have a post on BERF about it soon – it was a good eye-opening film.

IMG_0649

When Hillary offers to bring dinner, I make sure our fridge is stocked with her favorite – Jeni’s Ice Cream!!! Salted Caramel is always EVEN BETTER than I remember!! It should totally be renamed “Toasted Marshmallow” because it’s 100% roasty sugary good.

Nite!

      Start with Salted Caramel – it is the bestttt!! (Although I’ve only had one other flavor because i keep going back to it 🙂 )

      And just remind yourself that a scoop at Ben & Jerry’s is $4.30!

        I finally bought this last week after reading about it here for a while – WOW! It really is that good. I actually hid it in the back of my freezer because my husband wouldn’t know the difference, and I will make it last a good six weeks 🙂

    In the fall, Jeni’s makes a Sweet Potato with Torched Marshmallow flavor. So good! Like pumpkin ice cream but fancier. This reminds me I need to see if I can still find Savannah Buttermint in the scoop shops as well as the White House Cherry.

    I thought you were making this a BERF-ish post because you ate melted salted caramel on tostadas—the start of a salty sweet preg craving. Ha!

    We do the “avocado crema” from time to time, too! It spreads so nicely and you can get more on your fork. 😉

      Do you mix it by hand or in a stand mixer/blender?

        Actually we just mix by hand plain yogurt and avocado. Whip it GOOD!

    Plain avocado is something we just can’t warm up to at our house. But served like that with Southwest seasoning added to it might just do the trick!

    man, that looks delicious. avocado in any form is ok by me.

    Mmm…avocado crema. I love avocado ‘sauce’ mixed with zucchini noodles for a pasta dish. So good! And I’m hurting for that Salted Caramel ice cream–I may just have to break down and have it shipped to me.

    And the guac + sour cream combo, can’t go wrong there!

    I am totally in love with Jenni’s ice creams as well! She has another great flavor too: sweet potato with torched marshmallow. Not sure if it’s available where you are but I think you might really enjoy it!!

    Oooh… avocado crema- that sounds great! I’m obsessed with Ashley’s (edible perspective) black bean crema – have you made that? (I’m sure you have- I was really late to the party on that one!).

    My twin sister was flown to NYC by Christy Turlington to do an interview for the NWNC film. Her piece didn’t make the cut but she said Christy was very nice and she loved the chance to tell her story. She was interviewed due to her experience nursing a friend’s baby (my sis was nursing her son at the time as well) because her friend had passed away during childbirth. It’s heartwrenching but we are so proud of her!

    I talked about your avocado crema in my blog post today, I noticed you had some more on vacation last week. It’s my new favorite way to eat avocado! I think I like it even better than guacamole! Just something about the tang from the yogurt I think. Thanks so much!
