First Recipe of the Month!

Happy Sunday once again!
I’m adding a feature to my blog where I will post some of my favourite recipes every last Sunday of the month! A few weeks ago I decided to look into other things I can do along with my medications to try and get myself back on track and hopefully one day into remission. Among these things is the paleo diet that surprisingly, I haven’t had much of a hard time following! I know a lot of people with lupus try the paleo diet and believe that it impacts them very positively and I’m hoping to see the same results! I’ve found some very tasty recipes already and I’m excited to share them all with you!
This months recipe is a guacamole recipe I’ve become obsessed with. It’s your simple guac recipe but it’s tasty and not only does it follow the paleo diet, but avocados are also a great natural anti-imflammatory!
Ingredients:
  • 4 large ripe avocados, pitted, scooped out and diced
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (I use 1 because I’m not a huge garlic fan)
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 roma tomato
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips for serving (check to make sure they are gluten free!)
Instructions:
Place avocados, cilantro, garlic, tomato and lime juice in a medium bowl. Mash thoroughly until guacamole is the consistency you desire. Season guacamole with salt and pepper and serve with tortilla chips.
I use these chips for serving, they are organic, gluten free, low on sodium and absolutely delicious!

Much love,
