avocado ranch coleslaw.

Stopped at the store yesterday for 2 things.  Left the store with 7.  Not too bad, I’ve done much worse.

Anyways, coleslaw was on sale for $1 a bag and for some reason I felt I needed it.  Came home and combined ingredients in my house to create this.

avocado dill paleo chip dip.

My mom woke up one day to all of a sudden find that a lot of foods were her enemy. Doctors can not find medical reasoning for this but she has found that cutting gluten, wheat, peanuts, and dairy out of her life works best.

I love making new recipes for her. I love researching about foods. I love chips and dip. And I love when she enjoys new foods.  So I’m giving you the opportunity to do the same.

First I took 1.5 avocados (because I ate the other half yesterday with lunch) and smashed them all up. Next I made some homemade mayo. (Recipe below.) If you’ve never done this before, you’re missing out! I haven’t bought mayo in almost two years since discovering this! I added lots of dill, garlic powder, salt, parsley, chives and lime juice to my avocado bowl. Last step, I mixed half a cup of mayo with the avocado mixture! Let this sit for an hour or so in the fridge then test it to see if you need more salt, dill, lime juice, ect. If you add more let it sit a little longer then pull out the chips and dig in!!
