These are the times that I wish I had a backyard to grow an avocado tree and have a nice healthy patch of Mint growing next to it.  Mint happens to be one of my favorite tea's, and avocado.....well, I can eat one all by itself with a spoon.  Over the weekend I had a strange yet inspiring urge to combine the two.  Something told me they would make a happy couple.  I was right :)

Here's another experiment that went REALLY well for us.  Hope you like it!

A long time ago I made this and stored it in a small ziplock container, but recently I found a different method that I hadn't considered on http://www.tastykitchen.com (posted by the lovely Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen).  What's nice about using parchment paper for this type of recipe is that you can easiy cut it into smaller pieces without having to use your measuring spoons.  This particular blend is perfect for making toasted garlic bread or sauteing with because it has a lot of garlic but you can easily adjust the level of flavoring by omitting one or two cloves from this recipe, or adding a few more herbs if you like. It takes cooking with butter to a whole new level.
