The Good and The Bad

Lets start out with the Good!

Dinner:

Chicken, Zoodles with avocado sauce

This was a simple recipe, but really good. I just cooked the chicken with salt and pepper. Now the sauce that goes on the Zoodles. I actually used to make this all the time to put on regular pasta. I also got way excited to make it because I got to use some fresh basil from my garden. 

Avocado Sauce:

1 Med sized ripe avocado

1/2 lemon, juiced 

2-3 garlic cloves

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup fresh basil (optional) 

2 T extra virgin olive oil 

Fresh ground black pepper to taste 

Directions:

Make sauce by placing the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Now add the pitted avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy.

Trust me you will want to add the basil. I have used give or take about a tablespoon (sorry I have never actually measured) of dried basil with this and it tasted just fine. 

Also, a little of this goes a long way, so you really don't need to make a lot. If you do decide to double the recipe. Don't double the lemon juice. It will make it taste to lemony. 

The Bad:

Dinner:

Cilantro Lime Chicken, Cauliflower rice, Avocado cream sauce, and broccoli

Whenever I make Cilantro lime stuff. It never turns out good. Maybe I just don't care for cilantro lime flavored stuff. I did this in the crock pot. I guess I didn't save the link to the recipe. There is bound to be one online somewhere if you like this kinda stuff. This is a different avocado cream sauce that I found. It wasn't that great wither. This meal was for sure my least favorite.
