The assorted menu of savory bites is 100 percent finger food that&#039;s both vegetarian and carnivore friendly. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those who don&#039;t eat meat will enjoy crispy black-bean cakes with creamy guacamole. They&#039;ll also love crunchy tortilla chips topped with grilled corn and melted cheddar cheese and smooth flavorful grilled-veggie gazpacho. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seafood aficionados are sure to go crazy for spicy Buffalo shrimp with blue cheese dip and celery. Finally, the meateaters&#039; hunger will be satiated with grilled beef tenderloin on focaccia toasts. To check out these tasty warm-weather appetizer recipes, read more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup mayonnaise&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon sugar&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin&lt;br /&gt;
Salt and pepper&lt;br /&gt;
2 ripe avocados, coarsely chopped&lt;br /&gt;
Two 15-ounce cans black beans, 1 can drained but not rinsed, 1 can drained and rinsed&lt;br /&gt;
2 large eggs&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus whole leaves for garnish&lt;br /&gt;
2 teaspoons ground cumin&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon salt&lt;br /&gt;
Dash hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup flour&lt;br /&gt;
Vegetable oil, for frying&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a nonreactive bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mayonnaise, lime juice, sugar and cumin; season with salt and pepper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Combine the dressing and the avocados and mash until smooth; set the guacamole aside. &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Working in batches, drop rounded tablespoons of the black bean mixture into the pan and fry, turning once, until crisp, about 4 minutes on each side; add more oil between batches if necessary. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Top the black bean cakes with the guacamole and cilantro leaves.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 ears of corn, husked&lt;br /&gt;
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing&lt;br /&gt;
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper&lt;br /&gt;
1 to 2 jalapeno chiles&lt;br /&gt;
1 scallion, thinly sliced&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (1 3/4 cups)&lt;br /&gt;
24 tortilla chips, preferably lime-chili flavor&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preheat grill to medium-high heat. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brush corn with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill corn and chiles, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and both are tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut kernels off cobs, and transfer to a medium bowl. Peel, stem, and seed jalapenos. Cut into 1/8-inch dice, and add to corn.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add scallion, cilantro, lime juice, and 1 1/4 cups cheese to corn mixture. Toss until well combined.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preheat broiler. Arrange chips in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each chip with a tablespoon of corn mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over chips. Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 30 seconds. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve immediately.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes 2 dozen.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4 large garlic cloves, unpeeled&lt;br /&gt;
2 large red bell peppers, cored and quartered&lt;br /&gt;
2 large yellow bell peppers, cored and quartered&lt;br /&gt;
2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick&lt;br /&gt;
1 large white onion, cut into 1/2-inch slabs&lt;br /&gt;
2 ears of corn, husked&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons vegetable oil&lt;br /&gt;
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper&lt;br /&gt;
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper&lt;br /&gt;
2 cups tomato juice&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup fresh orange juice&lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup chopped cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Light a grill. Thread the garlic cloves onto a skewer. Lightly brush the garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, onion and corn with the vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grill the vegetables over moderately high heat, turning frequently, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic and let steam for 10 minutes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meanwhile, remove the garlic cloves from the skewers, peel them and transfer to a large bowl.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Using a large serrated knife, cut the charred corn kernels into the bowl. Peel the peppers and add them to the bowl along with the zucchini, onion, cumin, crushed red pepper, tomato juice, orange juice, lemon juice and vinegar.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Working in batches, puree the vegetable mixture in a blender or food processor. Pour the gazpacho into a clean bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Just before serving, stir the cilantro into the gazpacho. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the cucumber and serve.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 10. &lt;/div&gt;

Baby arugula, for garnish&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Toss the tomatoes into a roasting pan, drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes have collapsed, about 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and bake it until soft, about 30 minutes. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the soft garlic onto a cutting board.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strip the needles from the rosemary, add them to the garlic, and chop them together. Pour 1 cup olive oil into a small bowl; add the garlic and rosemary mixture and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside until ready to grill.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Char the outside of the pepper under the broiler or over a gas flame. Put it into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and chop and put it into a blender. Add the mayonnaise and chili paste; process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper; refrigerate until ready to use. (Can be made the day before.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Heat the grill. Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1/2 hour before you are going to grill it. Brush it with some of the flavored olive oil and season it generously with salt and pepper. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grill the tenderloin, turning frequently, until the meat is rare or medium rare, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a platter and let it rest for 5 minutes, brushing it with the flavored olive oil. Cut the beef into thin slices.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To serve, put some of the flavored mayonnaise onto a piece of focaccia toast. Top it with a thin slice of the beef and spoon on some of the roasted tomatoes. Garnish with some arugula leaves and serve.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 30. &lt;/div&gt;

 <title>&#039;Wich of the Week: Seis de Mayo Sandwich</title>
 <link>http://www.yumsugar.com/3120752</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/3120752&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/0/6066/19_2009/754aaaa6ad3a1911_DSC00420.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;As you&#039;ve probably noticed, we are sort of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/tag/Avocados&quot; &gt;obsessed with avocados&lt;/a&gt; here, and on the rare occasion when I have leftover guacamole, I cannot bear to see it go to waste. So after whipping up a batch of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/3103500&quot; &gt;homemade guac&lt;/a&gt; for a recent party, I used the remaining deliciousness to make a vegetarian sandwich on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/2969154&quot; &gt;my new favorite chili bread&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you&#039;ve got some of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/3093803&quot; &gt;Cinco de Mayo&lt;/a&gt;&#039;s best condiment lying around, make your own seis (or siete or ocho) de Mayo sandwich. To see how I did it, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Seis de Mayo Sandwich&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Original Recipe&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4 slices spicy artisan bread, such as chile bread&lt;br /&gt;
4 tablespoons guacamole&lt;br /&gt;
6 slices Roma tomato&lt;br /&gt;
4-5 slices mozzarella cheese&lt;br /&gt;
10 thin slices of cucumber&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup alfalfa or clover sprouts&lt;br /&gt;
2 leaves of romaine lettuce&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preheat oven to 350 degrees.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place two of the bread slices on a work surface and cover with 1 tablespoon guacamole. Top each piece of bread with three tomato slices, followed by 2-3 slices of mozzarella.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place all four slices of bread directly on the oven rack and heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until bread is toasted and cheese is melted.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Evenly lay the cucumber slices on top of the melted cheese. Cover each with sprouts and lettuce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the two remaining bread slides, spread the rest of the guacamole, then place bread guacamole side down on lettuce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut in half and serve.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes 2 sandwiches.&lt;/div&gt;

 <title>The Basics: Guacamole</title>
 <link>http://www.yumsugar.com/3103500</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/3103500&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=120  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/1/17470/18_2009/IMG_9989.large.JPG&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;When it comes to Mexican cuisine, there is nothing quite as essential as guacamole. In its most basic form, the creamy dip consists of perfectly ripe mashed avocado seasoned with salt. While there are hundreds of recipes, it&#039;s nice to have a simple one to start with. Once you&#039;ve mastered the technique, it&#039;s easy to get creative with lots of variations. You can experiment with different types of onion, substitute lemon or orange juice for the lime juice, and change the texture by blitzing in a food processor. Since Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, it&#039;s a great time to share my favorite guacamole recipe. To check it out and see suggestions on how to jazz it up, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/guacamole-three-ways-simple-herby-or-luxurious&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Guacamole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Modified from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rickbayless.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rick Bayless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Using the most ripe avocados is the key to a successful guacamole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4 medium ripe avocados&lt;br /&gt;
2 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped or crushed through a garlic press&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon Salt&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh lime juice, from one lime&lt;br /&gt;
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut the avocados in half, running your knife around the pit from stem to blossom end and back up again. Twist the halves in opposite directions to free the pits and pull the halves apart. Dislodge the pits, then scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium bowl.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mash the avocado with a large fork or potato masher. Stir in the garlic, salt, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Taste and season with additional salt if appropriate. If not using immediately, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate-preferably not more than a few hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes 3-4 cups. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Variations&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make it more complex, stir in seeded and diced fresh tomato and minced onion. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make it super creamy, puree in a food processer with 1/2 cup sour cream.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make it spicy, stir in minced chipotle in adobo. &lt;/div&gt;

 <title>Fast and Easy Dinner: Fish Tacos</title>
 <link>http://www.yumsugar.com/3063731</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/3063731&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=128 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl2/1/17470/17_2009/96a1f06edc40d4c0_200806-r-fish-tacos.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Sometimes Mexican food can be too rich and heavy. Not so with these fish tacos. They&#039;re high in flavor, but don&#039;t weigh you down. The recipe stuffs a soft flour tortilla with flaky white fish, a quick creamy guacamole, and a crunchy cabbage slaw. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although it calls for red snapper, any firm white fish works wonderfully. Sound delicious? Wait till you read the recipe! Do so when you read more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br clear=all&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/fish-tacos-with-creamy-lime-guacamole-and-cabbage-slaw&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fish Tacos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foodandwine.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Food &amp;amp; Wine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 Hass avocados - halved, pitted, and peeled&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt&lt;br /&gt;
1 small jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons minced red onion&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper&lt;br /&gt;
1 small head of napa cabbage, shredded (4 cups)&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing&lt;br /&gt;
2 pounds thick red snapper fillets with skin, cut crosswise into ten 2-inch-wide strips&lt;br /&gt;
Ten 7-inch flour tortillas, warmed&lt;br /&gt;
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced&lt;br /&gt;
Hot sauce, for serving&lt;br /&gt;
Lime wedges, for serving
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Light a grill. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados, sour cream, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro and 3 tablespoons of the lime juice. Season the guacamole with salt and pepper and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brush the fish with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter and pull off the skin.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To assemble each taco, spread a dollop of guacamole on a tortilla. Top with a piece of fish, a few tomato slices and a large spoonful of the cabbage slaw. Serve with the hot sauce and lime wedges.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 10. &lt;/div&gt;

 <title>Guacamole Two Ways - Beginner and Expert</title>
 <link>http://www.yumsugar.com/2743185</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/2743185&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=67  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15259/05_2009/5477b5e10083b38d_Guacamole_twoways.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Every year during the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/tag/super+bowl&quot; &gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;, guacamole is so popular that on game day alone, Americans consume approximately &lt;a href=&quot;http://eatingwell.com/eat_drink/fresh_inseason/avocados_callout.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;50 million pounds of avocados&lt;/a&gt;. This year&#039;s big Sunday should be no exception, and I&#039;ll be taking advantage - particularly with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/2664114&quot; &gt;avocado prices predicted to rise&lt;/a&gt; this Spring. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here, I&#039;ve found two recipes. The first is a classic rendition of the green dip served with chips. However, If you&#039;re looking for something more bite-sized (and a healthy alternative to chips), turn to the advanced recipe. It harks back to the 1960s, when it was popular to serve &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/tag/guacamole&quot; &gt;guacamole&lt;/a&gt; in tomatoes. To see both recipes, read more. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/favorite-guacamole?autonomy_kw=guacamole&amp;amp;rsc=rf_result1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Beginner Guacamole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.everydayfoodmag.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Everyday Food&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and lightly mashed&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup minced onion&lt;br /&gt;
1 jalapeno chile, minced (remove seeds and ribs for less heat)&lt;br /&gt;
1 plum tomato, seeded and diced&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup chopped cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
Coarse salt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a bowl, combine avocados, onion, jalapeno, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt, and mix to combine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;12 small (2- to 2 1/2-inch) tomatoes (not plum tomatoes)&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon olive oil&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
3 firm-ripe California avocados&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeño chile, including seeds&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 teaspoon salt&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cut a thin slice from stem end of each tomato and scoop out and discard seeds with a small spoon. Carefully scoop out pulp to form a tomato shell, then finely chop pulp.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drizzle inside of each tomato shell with oil and lime juice and let stand at room temperature while making guacamole.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pit and peel avocados and coarsely mash with a fork in a bowl. Fold in chopped tomato pulp, onion, cilantro, chile, and salt, then spoon into tomato shells, mounding guacamole. Serve immediately. &lt;/li&gt;

 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/2552252&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=152  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3986/49_2008/82c125221d707672_Tart_Pomegranate_Mango_Guacamole.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/tag/avocados&quot; &gt;avocados&lt;/a&gt; especially in the form of a chunky, flavorful &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/tag/guacamole&quot; &gt;guacamole&lt;/a&gt;. When I found a recipe that included one of my favorite Fall fruits, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/2453244&quot; &gt;pomegranate seeds&lt;/a&gt;, I was thrilled! I served this colorful and simple guacamole with tortilla chips, but it would be a great addition to tacos and delicious on grilled pork. &lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Each bite of this guacamole is perfectly balanced. The texture of the creamy avocado is offset by the spicy serrano chili. The juicy and sweet mango contrasts with the occasional burst of crunchy and tart pomegranate seeds. If you want to enjoy this scrumptious, distinctive guacamole, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Mango-Pomegranate-Guacamole-350568&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pomegranate Mango Guacamole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gourmet.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gourmet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3 ripe avocados&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 white onion, finely chopped&lt;br /&gt;
1 serrano chili, finely chopped, including seeds&lt;br /&gt;
1 lime, juiced&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds&lt;br /&gt;
3/4 cup diced peeled mango&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup chopped cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
1 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Cut the mango in half lengthwise. With a small sharp knife score the flesh both horizontally and vertically. Pushing on the skin of the mango, flip it inside out and cut off the flesh from the skin.&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To remove the pomegranate seeds, cut the pomegranate in half and submerge in a large bowl of water then gently peel to remove all of the seeds. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Halve, pit, and peel avocados. Coarsely mash in a bowl. Stir in onion, chiles, 1/4 cup lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, then fold in pomegranate seeds, mango, and cilantro. Season with salt and additional lime juice.&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 6-8 people. &lt;/div&gt;

 <title>Come Party With Me:  Fourth of July - Menu</title>
 <link>http://www.yumsugar.com/1732990</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.yumsugar.com/1732990&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=108  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/17470/26_2008/tu0106_burger2_e.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Since the Fourth of July is a holiday that celebrates all things American, serve a delicious meal of classic American dishes. Start things off with a tex mex favorite: guacamole and chips. Set up a burger bar with an assortment of cheeses, vegetables, and condiments. Invite guests to assemble a burger to their own liking. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maple glazed baked beans are a sweet and smoky side, while watermelon and arugula salad is a cool and refreshing alternative. To learn how to make these delightfully patriotic dishes, read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://food.realsimple.com/realsimple/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&amp;amp;recipe_id=1618562&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Guacamole and Chips&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realsimple.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Real Simple&lt;/a&gt; magazine&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5 avocados, cut into 1/2-inch pieces&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 red onion, finely chopped&lt;br /&gt;
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped&lt;br /&gt;
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice&lt;br /&gt;
1 teaspoon kosher salt&lt;br /&gt;
1/8 teaspoon black pepper&lt;br /&gt;
1 16-ounce bag tortilla chips
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a large bowl, combine the avocados, onion, jalapeñ, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Serve with the tortilla chips.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make ahead&lt;/b&gt;: prepare guacamole up to two hours before serving. To keep it from turning brown, cover the bowl with plastic wrap so that the wrap lies directly on the guacamole, with no air in between, then refrigerate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;recipe&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_33914,00.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Burger Bar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tylerflorence.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tyler Florence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 pounds brisket, ground&lt;br /&gt;
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper&lt;br /&gt;
4 thin slices Swiss cheese&lt;br /&gt;
4 hamburger buns, split
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preheat a large cast-iron skillet to medium hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot skillet to make a nonstick surface.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Season the ground meat in a bowl with salt and pepper. Give it about 3 turns in the bowl with your hands or a big spoon and it&#039;s done. Shape into 4 patties.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When the skillet is hot, put the burgers on the skillet and cook 4 minutes on the first side and 5 for the second side for rare; 7 minutes per side for medium, adding the cheese during the final minute or 2 to melt.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Remove the burgers to a plate. Rub the skillet with the folded paper towel again to clean it. Then toast the buns cut side down for about 1 minute, just to mark them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Serve the hamburgers in the buns with the accompaniments below.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Makes 4 burgers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sauteed Mushrooms&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Saute 1 pound thickly sliced mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil with 2 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over super-high heat until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in a couple of drops fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Caramelized Onions&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook slowly until well caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tomatoes with Sea Salt and Chives&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Thickly slice 2 pounds red and yellow beefsteak tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and 1/2 bunch chopped fresh chives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bacon with Rosemary&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Lay out 1/2 pound sliced bacon on a baking sheet, strip leaves from 1 sprig rosemary and throw them on top with lots of cracked black pepper and roast at 400 degrees F until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Herbed Horseradish Mayonnaise&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
Stir together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup freshly minced herbs such as parsley, basil, chives or scallion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredients&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1 pound yellow eye or navy beans, soaked overnight and drained&lt;br /&gt;
2 cloves&lt;br /&gt;
1 small onion, sliced 1/2 inch thick&lt;br /&gt;
2 bay leaves&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 pound meaty bacon, fat side scored&lt;br /&gt;
1/2 cup pure maple syrup&lt;br /&gt;
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce&lt;br /&gt;
2 teaspoons dry mustard&lt;br /&gt;
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon ketchup&lt;br /&gt;
2 teaspoons kosher salt&lt;br /&gt;
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Directions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preheat the oven to 325°.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a large pot, cover the beans with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, skimming occasionally, until the skins peel back when you blow on them, about 1 hour. Reserve 4 cups of the cooking liquid and drain the beans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Transfer the beans to a 10-by-13-inch baking dish. Stick the cloves in a slice of onion; nestle the onion slices, bay leaves and bacon, fat side up, among the beans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In a bowl, whisk 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid with the maple syrup, Worcestershire, dry mustard, 1/4 cup of the ketchup and 1 teaspoon of the salt; pour over the beans and bake for 3 hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stir the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt into 1 cup of the cooking liquid; pour over the beans and bake for 1 1/2 hours longer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Whisk the remaining cooking liquid and ketchup with the Dijon mustard and pour over the beans. Bake for 1 1/2 hours longer, until the beans are richly browned. Let stand for 15 minutes. Discard the cloves and bay leaves, and serve.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serves 6. &lt;/div&gt;
