We both thought this was pretty good. Not as much flavor as I thought there would be judging by the smell while cooking though. It’s easy to make and I’ll make it again.

Spiralized Sweet Potato
I used our hand held spiralizer which was a little difficult but it did work. I sauteed the sweet potato noodles in coconut oil and then drizzled with maple syrup.
Hashbrown Tacos
Probably my favorite thing to eat for breakfast.
Ingredients:
Frozen hashbrowns
Corn tortillas
Salsa
Directions:
Cook frozen hashbrowns according to package directions. I’ve never read the directions. I cook them (sometimes with oil, sometimes not) on high in the electric skillet for 15 minutes on each side.
Scoot the hashbrowns aside and place corn tortilla in the pan for about 30 seconds or so. You can also microwave the tortilla for about the same amount of time..
Place the hasbrowns in the tortilla and top with salsa.
That’s in it’s simplest form. Sometimes I might ad re-fried beans and avocado as I did in the photo above.

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH SHAVED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Tasted better than it looks. Sauteed, shaved Brussels sprouts, artichoke hearts, black olives (didn’t have kalamata) and sun-dried tomatoes tossed with quinoa pasta and avocado dressing. I served it warm although the recipe says to serve it cold.

Zucchini Fritters
We both thought these were pretty good although I think they were a little mushier than they should have been.

My Guacamole Recipe
I generally don’t measure the ingredients but I think this is pretty close.
Ingredients:
3 avocados
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
3 green onions finely chopped
1 Roma tomato (seeds and pulp removed), finely chopped
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 – 1 Tbsp lime juice
Several twists of crushed black pepper corns.
Optional:
Fresh or pickled jalapenos or crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
Directions:
Slice the avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop the meat in to a mixing bowl.
Add all other ingredients and mix well.
A pastry cutter works great for mashing the avocados.
