Recently I have been on an a health kick! Recent, as in, after I came home from my three week vacation 10 lbs heavier.  Let’s pause for a moment while I weep.  Anyways, I am not much a dieter, I am actually horrible at it. I can plan, shop & have all my veggies laid out & then what do I do? I grab a donut.  Sooo, I don’t diet. I try to make healthy choices and live a balanced life (when I am not on vacation in Puerto Rico surrounded by delicious quesitos, guava filled pastries and pan sobao ).

In light of my vacation’s aftermath, I am challenging myself to start a workout routine; but that is another post, for another time.    I am also back to eating conscientiously & wiser….cue the avocados.  I have been adding & experimenting with different avocado recipes. Why avocados? Because they are packed with good fats, contain nearly 20 vitamins & minerals; they are a naturally nutrient dense food aaand because they are delicious!

1.Cut the avocado in half & remove pit

2. chop & add cherry tomatoes

3.chop & add red onions

4. chop & add jalapeno peppers

5. squeeze a lime

6. finish by sprinkling Himalayan salt.
