I've read before that avocados supply so many of the necessary nutrients, that a human being could survive on avocados alone. I'm not so sure I want to test that statement out, but I do know that I enjoy adding more of this wonder food into my diet. Avocados supply 20 essential nutrients and act as a nutrient booster to allow for fat soluble nutrients from other foods to absorb into your body better when eaten together. Plus the fats found in avocados are all those good, healthy fats (like EVOO and nuts). So eat up and get healthy.
Guacamole
-2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
-1/2 small sweet onion, minced finely
-1/4 c tomatoes, chopped fine (optional)
-1/2 t salt
-1/2 t garlic powder
-3 T lime or lemon juice
In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. To prevent discoloring, put avocado pits in bowl with guacamole and cover top of dip with plastic wrap, taking care to remove all air.
We've been eating this stuff up weekly now. We even have straight up guacamole sandwiches sometimes. When I get extra time, I like to make homemade whole wheat pita bread and then toast little wedges of that to make homemade pita toast- YUM!

ReplyDeleteOkay, Rion and I are going into the kitchen right now to make those muffins you posted about before. I'll let you know how they turn out. Rion just loves carrots so he's excited. :)
And I am so happy you posted your guys' dip recipe. I can't wait to try it out as well.
Miss ya!
I make the pita bread dough in my bread machine, so all I have to do is roll it out into circles, let it rise, and bake away! I use my bread machine religiously now that I have Nathaniel. lol I'll have to make some next time you guys are over visiting!
ReplyDeleteFinally made this recipe but Cory snuck away my lemon this morning and put it in his water and is gone with it.
ReplyDeleteAAAAND one of my avocados were bad. Sigh. BUT, it is still yummy!!! Whoo-hoo!
