Bugs Bunny Guacamole by Smokinhotchef

Holy Guacamole! Run of the mill guacamole is taken over the top with a little spicy reinforcement from salsa. Tomatoes add garden fresh flavor and are rich in lycopene.

Simple Chimichurri Sauce by Madi Moreno de Arjona

By the way this tastes great on pork, chicken, toasted…

I was given the chore of coming up with a new side dish for Thanksgiving. I like corn--particularly when I am eating. I like cream cheese--only when I am eating. Voila, an idea is born.
