recipe Dinner Recipe: Crab-Stuffed Avocado
Servings: 8
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step

These boats are wonderful with tortilla chips, beans or rice. You can also cover them, pack them on ice, and take them to a picnic or potluck. Straight from the oven or cold, they're always delicious.
Recipe by: Frances Benthin ~ Scio, Oregon

    Ingredients:
  • 5 medium ripe avocados, peeled and halved
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cans (6 ounces each) lump crabmeat, drained
  • 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Lemon wedges

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat broiler. Place 2 avocado halves in a large bowl; mash lightly with a fork. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice; mix until well blended. Stir in crab, 3 tablespoons cilantro, chives, serrano pepper, capers and pepper. Spoon into remaining avocado halves.
  • Transfer to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Broil 4-5 in. from heat until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro; serve with lemon wedges.


recipe Dessert Recipe: Oreo Icebox Cake
Servings: 8-10
The Pioneer Woman ~ Step by Step

If you love cookies and cream, wait until you try this Oreo icebox cake. It has layers of cookies, whipped cream cheese, and fresh raspberries! No-bake desserts are absolute lifesavers during the summer since they can be made well in advance and won’t heat up the house, and this one is no exception.
Recipe by: Leah Perez

    Ingredients:
  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 50 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, plus more for topping (from a 25.5-oz. package)
  • 3 (6-oz.) containers raspberries, divided

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the speed to medium, and beat until smooth, 1 minute more.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add 1 cup of the heavy cream, and beat on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups of heavy cream, increase the speed to medium high, and beat until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spoon ¼ cup of the cream mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish, smoothing into a thin, even layer.
  • Top the cream mixture with a single layer of cookies, breaking some as needed to fit. Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the cream mixture over the cookies, smoothing into an even layer with a spoon or offset spatula. Top with an even layer of raspberries from 2 (6-ounce) containers. Add another 1 1/2 cups of the cream mixture, smoothing into an even layer. Top with a final layer of cookies, then add the remaining cream mixture on top, smoothing into an even layer.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours.
  • Decorate the cake as desired with crumbled cookies and the remaining raspberries. Use a serrated knife to slice and serve.
