I’ll admit, I’ve been slacking on my recipes and research in regards to my goal of writing my own cook book. As most of you know, I cook by taste, smell, and texture vs. exact measurements. In the last year or so I’ve really tried to quantify my ingredients and document my journey in regards to my love for food.
But then came marathon #3 training, and my goals have since fallen to the back burner (haha, get it?) unfortunately. So I’m back at it, with a goal to publish ONE recipe (at least) each week. Who’s ready for our first week’s exciting recipe? Ok…it’s not that exciting, but it’s simple, tasty, and a healthy choice for a mid week meal.
Avocado dressing/puree’
In a bowl place the following:
1 avocado
1 tablespoon of low fat sour cream
The juice of one lime
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder to taste
1 pinch of dried cilantro
Mix well until a creamy consistency is achieved. Serve over fish, chicken, or on your favorite salad in place of dressing. YUM!
Doesn’t get much easier than this, and my entire family enjoyed it thankfully!
What’s on your plate these days? Do you find it hard to balance work, training, and other hobbies?
Thanks, y’all!! Hope you enjoy this recipe!
❤ Michelle

Oh man that looks fantastic with shrimp! I’m not usually a huge fan of avocado, but even I can be swayed if there is shrimp involved. 🙂

Oooo – this looks so yummy! I am lousy at making up recipes, I’m much better at following them. Lately, I’m on a egg and baked potato kick but that could be because I’m feeling lazy on the cooking front. (I took that what’s on your plate question literally!)
