Dilly’s Gourmet Guacamole
It just warms my heart when my little man pulls up the step stool to prepare food with me! He thoroughly enjoys mashing up the avocados and mixing various toppings in.
And I’m telling you: food tastes better to a child when they have made it! He isn’t always the quickest or most willing eater, but if he has had any hand in making it, suddenly there is hunger and happiness. Not to mention some very cute confidence.
Chunky guacamole with salsa flair will keep you and everyone else coming back for more. And given all the mix-ins, you can even eat this straight up as an avocado salad.

Suddenly, thinly sliced eggplant makes for delicious, smoky chips and cauliflower tastes like popcorn. Broccoli is addictive and onions are less pungent. The natural moisture that evaporates in the oven brings out a sweeter, [...]

As featured on Fox’s Good Day Charlotte! See me on T.V. here ;) I don’t even want to discuss these tacos. They are THAT good. Just make and inhale. Buttery(but not really), crispy (but really) cauliflower drizzled with zesty, sour cream sauce. It’s the what dreams are made of: tastes like butter, tastes like cream, but [...]
