Guacamole

I used a version of this recipe:

Paleo Diet Lifestyle

There are so many recipes for guacamole out there but this one is the most simple. I use this one as the "base" recipe and add items when on hand.

Ingredients
3 medium avocados
1 firm tomato, finely diced
1/2 red/purple onion
1 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice;Optional salt and pepper to taste.
(optional)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Directions:
1) Open the avocados and scoop out the flesh.
2) Mash the flesh with a fork, if you want the avocado chunky. Mash with potato masher for smoother consistency
3)Mix in the other ingredients


Tip: a friend of mine shoes me the key to keeping the avocado from turning brown a couple years ago and it totally blew my mind.

Before you put the lid on the Tupperware container of leftover guacamole, line it each plastic wrap. Press the plastic wrap down inside the bowl, across the top of the guac, and back up the edge of the bowl. So there is no air between the guac and the plastic. It will keep the guacamole for turning that unappealing brown color.


Enjoy!!!

Paleo Egg Salad

So recently I was craving some egg salad but, being on Whole 30/Paleo mayo isn't allowed (yes, I know there is a type that is sort of mayo that fits, but who has time for that?)

I remembered seeing something on Pinterest not to long ago, so I decided to try and make my own.
So this is my Paleo version of Egg Salad

4 Hard boiled Eggs
1/2 an Avocado
Garlic Powder
Pepper
Salt
1 cucumber

I took the avocado and mashed it (or you can cut it in cubes)
I peeled the eggs and took out the yolk (I just don't like the flavor of them when they're boiled) and diced them and tossed them in.
added a dash of each spice (add to taste)

and then I sliced the cucumber and used that as the 'chips' for my egg salad.

I used this as a post work out pseudo-lunch.
It was super satisfying and really tasty.
