Easter is for EGGS



Easter time always makes me think of eggs! These were a hit at my co-op class last month about snacks! Quick and easy to make and packed full of protein and healthy fats! The avocado is a much better alternative than using traditional mayonnaise and the hot sauce kicks it up a notch! Try them and let me know what you think!

Romaine Lettuce- A Bread Alternative

Make a grain-free wrap with romaine lettuce. It does not have a very strong flavor, so it will not overpower what’s inside. Stuff it with grass-fed beef, antibiotic and hormone free chicken, more vegetables, or a meat mixture like the one in my Raw Walnut Tacos from my Clean Eating Recipe EBook along with avocado and other veggies! 





Raw Walnut Tacos

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. raw walnuts, ground in food processor
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. coconut liquid aminos
pinch of cayenne pepper

Mix all ingredients in food processor and pulse into a coarse mixture. Place in green leaf or romaine lettuce.

How Can I Make An Avocado Ripen Faster?

When you're craving guacamole and the avocado is like a rock put the avocado in a loosely closed brown paper bag with two apples. Apples produce ethylene gas, a hormone that triggers ripening. The avocado will soften in a few days! Heat also speeds up the process so you can put the bag on the kitchen windowsill in the sun for quicker ripening.
