Avocado Cilantro Cream Sauce
/One of my bigger adjustments to Whole30 was the increased meat consumption. It took me awhile to find a good balance for how I was getting my protein. I really enjoy meatless meals. I like the challenge of making a dish that is really filling and satisfying with different types of protein and fat. Avocado is a common go-to but, if I'm really honest, I don't love avocado. I eat it mixed with things, but too much and I'm trying not to gag. But I keep buying it because it's so good for you and can be incorporated into meals in creative ways. I made this avo-cilantro cream sauce this morning because I could tell my omelette was not going to fill me up. With the sauce I could barely finish the whole thing. Actually, I didn't. Baby E loved it so much she probably ate half of it. It was delicious. Next time I'm putting the sauce on a hamburger. :)
