Hello my friends! I've been away for way too long! I keep talking about getting back into my blog routine, but hey - life keeps getting in the way! My boys are now 3 and 10 and are totally awesome!! They've been suggesting that we should start taking pictures of our meals again which I think is a big hint that they too miss the fun of blogging about our food. The thing is, blogging used to keep us on track... keep us honest! It challenged us!! But it just got to become so time-consuming. Slowly, quick fix and boxed meals have been creeping into our kitchen and menu planning has pretty much disappeared. So here we go at another attempt to get back at it! Wish us luck!!!
One of my favorite foods in the whole wide world is avocado. It's a great thing to love because they have nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins, and folic acid. The only thing that I need to be careful with is that they are loaded with calories as well. One whole medium sized avocado is a whooping 250 calories! I was recipe searching back in April and came upon a mango-avocado salsa that I just had to try. We've had mango salsa many times before, but adding avocado was a whole new ball game. It was quite simple... cubed avocado, mango (I used frozen), and tomato, plus some diced red onion. Mix it all up and there you go. I served it over BBQ grilled chicken. Usually we have our chicken smothered with BBQ sauce, but this time I only marinaded it in some Budwiser brand BBQ sauce. Millard put it on the grill and held off on the extra sauce. It was a good choice. Our sides were sauteed a mix of fresh and frozen peas and asparagus.
