guacamole meal

when I’m pregnant and someone says something and my tastebuds go “yummmm” the desire won’t leave my head until they are satisfied. this is exactly what happened this morning. my friend said guacamole when I said salsa and that was it I had to make some. lately I make a lot of “snacks” that my daughter and I fill up on and have been neglecting our meals. guacamole could easily be a snack but I set out to make it a meal. SUCESS!!! DELICIOUS and NUTRITIOUS!!

supplies:

1 avocado
1 small tomato
1/2 small onion
2t fresh or frozen cilantro
1 1/2 radish
1t salt
1/2t pepper
about 1c cubed firm tofu
4 brussels sprouts
1 clove of garlic
2t lemon juice

first i mixed all my guacamole ingredients to make sure I got that taste on point. so avo, tomato, onion, cilantro, s & p, lemon juice. then i added radish and garlic to make sure i was still digging it. I WAS! so i finished off and added all the ingredients. now you don’t have to taste test along the way as I did, you can just take my word… IT’S GOOOOOD!!! use some carrots, gf bread and chips for dipping and your set!

+ there are veggies, protein and grains >what a perfect lunch!

summer 3.14

I went to my friends for the 4th of July and she had this pie that was healthier and pretty good but as I was eating it I though... I got this (aka a few changes and this could be awesome). so with a few alterations I think I got it. 

16oz plain Greek yogurt (I used non fat)

10oz whip (coconut whip recipe to come)

1 gluten free pie crust (gf homemade crust to come as well) 

3 handfuls of your favorite fruit (two ripe mangos I used this time > bananas and berries are bomb as well)!

bake the crust and mix the yogurt with the whip. put the mix in the crust and top w a ton of fruit. place the pie in the freezer and take it out 15 min before eating. 

simple, yummy and kinda healthy!

make it your own.
