Avacado Dressing &/or Dip


Ingredients

  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Puree until smooth,
  2. Enjoy!!

** I leave out the oil to make it more "dip-like"

Super yummy & the hot sauce gives it a little KICK!

Smashed Red Potatoes

These have quickly become a favorite!!!


  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
  • Boil some red potatoes until fork tender.
  • Drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet, set potatoes on sheet and using a potato masher (or back of a spatula), gently smash each potato down, rotating masher both ways (so it looks like a thick cookie). 
  • Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle herbs or seasoning (I use Mrs. Dash garlic herb).
  • Then, top with some low fat mozzarella cheese. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes.

Remember when....

I am constantly amazed by my 4 yr old's memory... She never forgets ANYTHING!

I think it is totally true that 90% of my brain cells went to her when she was born... I used to have a great memory (I think?) but am now a huge ditz.
