Avocados yuck! 😁

Ok so you all know by now that I'm trying very hard to live healthy in all ramifications and though I fall of the wagon a few times the thought of the lasting benefits promptly puts me back on track.

I made mayonnaise the other day and had some potatoe salad with avocados in it.

Seriously though I don't get avocados, I know they are full of all sorts if goodness but it's completely bland to meπŸ™ˆ and people rave about it's creaminess, deliciousness etc etc I'm like ok? are we on about the same thing?

Any who I buy some regularly and it normally goes bad in my fridge(read somewhere that it shouldn't be put in the fridge until after it's been cut open).

So this time around i started with using it in my deep condition mixture for my hair😁, I know if you can't eat it don't feed your hair with it😁😁, then as a face and body spa treatment( these 2 were absolutely glorious)

Then I put a bit in my potatoe salad and I still had some left so I made a smoothie with bananas, avocado, lemon(freshly squeezed none of that bottled stuff), slivered almonds, nutmeg, cinnamon, cranberries and a bit of honey to finish it off. 

I think it's safe to say I appreciate it in a mix not hot on it by itself but as it's great for my whole body I shall continue to invest in it😁😁.

Enjoy a blessings filled weekend.

ANYTHING GOES SALADS

Sooooooo it's been mighty quiet in here lately abi? And normally quiet with children's generally presupposes that they are up to no goodπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ˜. 
Wellllllll ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies

So I have missed salads and bread like no mans business and have succumbed to bread under the guise of my nephew wanting some(really bad behaviour I tell you tsk tsk tsk)

Went to my veggie guy on Friday and alas he only had lettuce and a few other little bits and bobs! I was not thrilled to say the list meeeeeeeen. Anywho I got lettuce, parsley, cabbage and coconuts( been craving those had 2 whole ones πŸ™ˆ).

So 3am Sunday morning and I'm in thi kitchen making my salad( weird right😁)
So what didn't go in the salad should be the question but here are a list of ingredients;

Lettuce
Half a small cabbage
Medium sized red onion
6 tomatoes
About an inch of fresh ginger
Goji berries
Cranberries
Slivered almonds
Sesame seeds
Ground flaxseed
Coconuts
A huge bunch of parsley


And for the dressing;
Coconut oil
Apple cider vinegar
Avocado oil
Pink Himalayan salt
Ground dry yellow pepper
Honey 

Basically I used a Mandalay to cut the onions and cabbage, sliced the tomatoes and ginger with a knife and snipped the lettuce with a pair of kitchen scissors 😁

Tossed all the ingredients together, mixed  the dressing ingredients with a fork, toasted the bread and viola! Lunch was ready πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
