Hey friends!!
Happy April! {6th}
I can’t believe how fast the year is going already! It feels like we just started housesitting/dogsitting and now it’s already time to move out!! The past 8 months have just flown by! Speaking of moving out….Andrew and I put an offer on a house yesterday! We still have to wait to hear back from the seller but this house is perfect for us so PLEASE keep your fingers, toes, arms, legs crossed and send positive thoughts our way!!
Did you notice my new tab?? I haven’t added any since I started my blog a year ago so I thought maybe it was time lol. I have been in love with Lisa’s blog for awhile now and when she offered the opportunity to participate in Mystery Box, I had to join!
Make sure to check out her blog Bike Bake Blog for instructions on how to join as well!! I will be updating my page as soon as I make my mystery box and cut out my words! I’m so excited to get started!
I have a plethora of food pics to show you. As per usual. Ready?
Egg white + 2 whole egg <—–gotta love the iron scramble with organic ketchup, raspberries and quinoa cakes with mashed avocado, hemp hearts and goji berries.
***
Beastly salad with baby romaine, sliced baby peppers, avocado chunks, baby pickles, goat cheddar, sliced grapes, and a veg burg.

I’m pretty sure sometime on this day I got my new plate. It’s now the only plate I use for photos
Socca bruschetta with goat cheddar and roasted brussel sprouts. Heeeeellllzzzz yes.

Avocado Ranch Dressing/Dip
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 small clove garlic
- fresh chives
- fresh dill
- fresh parsley
- salt
- unsweetened original almond milk
Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Adjust herbs to taste. Add almond milk to thin for dressing or leave out completely and eat as a dip. Def tastes awesome the next day, too

Everything looks so delicious! I love the idea of using quinoa in place of oats. I might have to try that sometime.

I think dill is so underrated! My mom used to make awesome dill bread. I hardly ever hear anyone else talk about it!

I’ve never been big on oranges, I don’t know why. Favorite parts of this post: egg-stada, spiralized beets, pizza. Oh and veggie burger + sweet potato fries = best kind of burger and fries!

Jenny
Wow when you bring it, you bring it good! I just had dinner and that Socca bruschetta is making me drool
I’ve never had quinoa for breakfast O_O It looks just like oats! I don’t have flakes tho so I gotta get me some of that.
I want a spiralizer so bad!! XD

Hope all goes well with the house! I’m keeping my fingers, toes, etc crossed!
All of your eats look delicious! I always photograph my meals on plain white plates – it makes the food look so good!

Kath (My Funny Little Life)
Mmmmm, wonderful eats! I really need to reintroduce pufed rice cakes to my diet!
Also love the idea of zucchini noodles. I usually make carrot tagliatelle by slicing carrots very thinly with a vegetable peeler, but I haven’t tried zucchini so far!

You have got some AWESOME eats here! I love the avocado ranch salad and the “spaghetti”!!!
