3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed avocado.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

4 boneless chicken breasts
1 brick of cream cheese
1 brick of pepper-jack cheese (shredded)
8 slices of bacon

If frozen, thaw chicken breasts, rinse and pat dry. Place Chicken breast (one at a time) between a piece of plastic wrap and pound with meat tenderizer until 1/4" to 1/2" thickness. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine cream cheese and pepper-jack cheese until well mixed. Form cheese mixture into 4 equal balls. Place one ball of cheese in center of chicken breast and roll chicken around cheese. Wrap bacon around chicken (it should look like a gift wrapped in ribbon) and place in a shallow baking dish. Repeat for all chicken breasts. Bake on 425 for 1 hr 15 min. Broil 5 more minutes to crispin bacon. Serves well with salad or green beans.
