If anyone noticed my absence the past few days on the internet it’s because Brent graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Bethel University! Despite having the gym set up in case of rain, they continued with it outside even though it did in fact rain.

Through the down-pour I stuck it out – his program was last to be called, and his name was dead last for the entire graduation. Everyone was soaked but I don’t think any spirits were dampered. I just can’t believe it is over. It’ll be even crazier when I graduate with my PhD in (hopefully) 2 more years.

Speaking of crazy, avocados are everywhere lately. So many different ways to use them have been popping up, and I will probably love every one I try. Even these cupcakes by Jessica (How Sweet It Is).

But a less crazy version of avocados are these fries. The concept may be a little crazy, but they are definitely not scary. The rich creamy avocado coated in a crunchy shell is a perfect match. Don’t forget the dip! They are a great side to these Pineapple Chicken Kabobs but I also enjoy them in tacos too.

The first time I made these I fried them up like any other fried food, but I have since become obsessed with oven-frying and therefore have updated the recipe as such. 

Oven-frying is my favorite because it it doesn’t use anywhere near as much oil (let alone disposing of it afterwards) and it’s much easier to clean up. It truly does get just as crispy in the oven!
