Hi all my name is Dixie and I am new to serious eats. I am planning a road trip leaving from Houston Texas going to Destin, FL. I hate chain restaurants and would appreciate any suggestions on great food to try on the way and some in the Destin area as well. I am also spending one night in Mobile, AL. Thank you Dixie Chick

I make a great pot roast in my crock pot which is really easy. Also killer lasagana and great cinncinatti chilli.

This is the easiest appitizer take one block of your cream cheese pour your favorie salsa over the top get some chips and enjoy. Another great topping is Boars head Vadallia onion sause with Triscuits. Also good with fruit. Dixie Chick
My all time favorite lunch was tomato soup with cheetoes (crunch ones not the soft kind) . I would dump in all of my cheetoes right in the soup. I still love it with the cheetoes (had it yesterday) but at home I add a grilled cheese sandwich which I dunk into the soup. My school also made amazing cinnamon rolls. Dixie
I like to mix avocados with sun-dried tomatoes (along with a dash of salt and pepper) and eat on crackers.
Also "the salad"... fancy lettuce, mandarin oranges, candied pecans, brie, avocado, thinly slice red onion with a orange-vinagrette.
Ok this may seem odd for me to say since I've never made or tried this before, but I've always always wanted to try a great big pot of paella!

What about avocado soup? Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
4 ripe avocados
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs. lime juice
1/4 C. sherry
3 C. chicken broth
1 1/2 C. heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley sprigs
Directions
Combine avocados, jalapeno pepper; lime juice, sherry, and chicken broth in a blender and puree. Stir in cream and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley. This dish is a little rich but very good.
Or, you can always put avocado into sushi...it's delicious :)

black beans, mandarin oranges, diced ripe tomatoes, diced onion, diced avocado - dress it with a splash of lime juice and a healthy chopping of cilantro - DELICIOUS!
Chili, sometimes made with beef, sometimes with hot Italian sausage balls.
Layered in stockpot onions, meat, peppers, tomatoes. Add wine and beer,simmer all day and enjoy.
Ribs and then salad on the side or chicken and dumplings. : )
On more than just a few occations I have repaced the mayo with soft cream cheese. The idea is to hold the sunflower seeds in place until they make it into your mouth. As I age, I'm replacing mayo with either white yogurt or light sour cream with equal satisfaction. Did you note my use of the term "good quality mayo"? No mayo does not belong in guacamole...
czken, I know a lot of people put cukes on that sandwich too. The salted sunflower seeds sound good -- avos are basically a nut, so should be tasty... I'll bet cashews would be awesome...
But... um... er... MAYO??? No offense, but mayo and avo just turns my tummy... especially when somebody puts it in their so-called guacamole!!!
BTW, my bro gets raves for his hummus/guacamole blend.
And I should have said that I love avo on grilled chicken sandwiches -- no mayo, of course! ;-)
Did I mention I have an avo tree in my garden? It's loaded right now... I picked my first tester a couple of days ago. If they're mature, y'all should drop by for my world-famous guacamole...

I jumped in to write about my favorite sandwich but LoCo beat me to it. My variation uses a rustic bread, good quality mayo and a good sprinkle of salted sunflower seeds (shelled of course). I haven't used the roasted peppers but otherwise we are on the same wave with the ingredients; and no, I'm not from California ;~)
Avocado margaritas!!! Soooo, soooo good. Sounds gross, but I promise, super tasty, especially if you're an avocado lover. :9
