Pasta with Creamy Avocado Sauce

As you can all tell by now, I love avocado.  I have been using avocados now at least once a week.  There was a recipe going around that used avocado pasta sauce, and I was dying to try it.  This is an awesome alternative to the normal pasta sauces.

Korean Beef

Chinese is right up there as one of my favorite foods.  I love all types of stir fry's and have been looking for different ones.  I found this recipe the other night and I thought I would give it a try.  It was very different then the typical stir fry because it is much sweeter.  The ground beef gets very tender and is awesome served over white rice.
