Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Emily from Whatever Floats Your Oats, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl, and Cassandra from Powered By Bling, to create awesome healthy recipes each week!
Today’s feature ingredient = Avocado! Make sure you hop around to check out all the amazing recipes in this link up and feel free to add your own recipe as well!
(I’m running two giveaways right now, so I think you should check them out (Freekeh + Balance Bars!)! They end on the 31st!
I adore avocados, and if it were up to me, I’d probably have a forest of avocado trees in my future backyard. That quote, “I just want to make enough money to never have to think twice about adding guacamole,” is kinda the story of my life. (I never add it because hello, student loans. :[ )
This recipe was adapted from SkinnyTaste, which is one of my favorite food blogs ever. I was one of her matches (+ vice versa) for the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap last year, and I totally fangirled all over the place when I got a batch of cookies from her! *-* They were all sorts of delicious!!!
