Creamy Avocado Dressing & Dip

Many salad dressings are filled with trans fat, sugar, preservatives, and artificial flavors.  Unfortunately this basically cancels out every intention we had with choosing a leafy green salad.

Making your own fresh, organic, salad dressings is not only fun but it is also a way for you to sneak in some beautiful fruits and veggies into your diet.  

This is one of my favorites! It's Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, and Oil-Free #Winning

Ingredients: 

1 Avocado 

1 Tbsp of Minced Garlic 

2 Tsp of Raw Organic Honey 

1/4 Cup of Water 

1 Tsp of Sea Salt 

1 Fresh Squeezed Lemon 

1-2 Tbsp of Dill 

1 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper 

1 Tsp of Crushed Black Pepper 

Directions: 

Place all ingredients in blender and top on your favorite salad or you can also use it to dip your veggies in :) 

More salad dressings to come!!!

Low Carb Pasta Alternative by Katie

Love pasta but hate the calorie and carb overload? We have two words for you... 

Spaghetti Squash.

This miracle of a veggie is a life saver!  We have all have comfort food craving and spaghetti squash will soon be your new BFF. 

Low carb pasta alternative

Ingredients: 

3 oz extra lean ground turkey, one spaghetti squash, 1 tbsp light butter, garlic powder, diced onion, salt and pepper
 

First preheat your over to 400 degrees. Slice your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds (I saved mine to roast for later with light butter, cinnamon and stevia). 

When the oven is ready place squash open side down in a glass baking pan. Add just enough water to line the bottom of the pan. 

Bake for about 30-40 minutes. Then prep your turkey and season with garlic and onion. Place ground turkey in skillet on low-medium heat and break it up with a fork as it's cooking. Salt and pepper as needed. 

When your squash is done a fork should easily pierce the inside all the way to the skin. Then take a fork and use it to shred the inside of the squash (it should easily fall apart into little spaghetti squash noodles!) a small squash makes about four cups and I usually eat 1-2 cups. 

Then add a tbsp of light butter salt and pepper and your ground turkey! You can also add different low cal pasta sauces!

1 Cup of Spaghetti Squash is 42 calories and 10 carbs!
