Try try, keep on trying, and try again!!!
A few weeks ago I checked this book out from the library, recommended by a good friend of mine.
My goal, no white sugar, no white flour, and (now that I read into the book a few chapters) no white potato! Help!!
I've gone off of all these before only to ditch the diet and go back to my normal way of eating for several reason's.....
1. I have 5 others in the house not interested in joining me. (I wonder why!!??, This also means making two meals most of the time)
2. Almost everything you eat is made from scratch. (Time consuming!)
3. It wasn't fulfilling my taste buds!! (Pretty important to me)
So, here I am again, cholesterol high, history of heart disease and cancer in my family, and a 40th birthday on the horizon!! Time to take some control and get serious!!
I love the book. It's easy to read and understand and his book is based on years and years (20+) of research.
Ok, so here is my first, gotta have in the fridge all the time staple!! It was actually out of desperation I made this. I had cut my avocado and put it in the blender only to realize I didn't have the original recipe! Not wanting my Avocado to turn brown I threw what I thought was in the original. This came out and I love it even more than the original !!!
Avocado Mayo
1 ripe Avocado
1 Tbl. cider vinegar
1 Tbl. lemon juice
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
pinch of salt
pepper
1-2 cloves of garlic (depends on how much you like garlic)
Put all ing.(except the Olive Oil) into the blender or food processor and blend (drizzling the olive oil in till gone) till creamy.
This is so versatile, you can add herbs or cayenne pepper or any other seasoning to it. Spice it up or leave it plain. As you can see above, I mixed chopped cucumber and chicken and added a little of the Avocado Mayo to it, and put it in a "Joseph's" whole grain's pita pocket.
After a few days the Mayo may turn a little in color but should last for a week in your fridge in an air tight container.
