    Tilapia Avocado Salad Recipe

    I’m going to be honest and share that lately I haven’t really been up to cooking dinners for my family.  I much rather spend time doing things with them or things that I am passionate about. I know that’s not what a mom should say, but that’s my truth at this moment.  I’ve been relying on quick dinners that I am able to prepare in less than 25 minutes. One of my favorites lately is Tilapia Avocado Salad that I make Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Tilapia w/ Garlic & Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

    I particularly enjoyed using Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Tilapia w/ Garlic & Extra Virgin Olive Oil for my salad because it is fresh tasting and smelling without the icky fishy smell that we all hate. It’s also naturally-seasoned and restaurant quality with ground black pepper, fresh garlic, sea salt and extra olive oil. This is a balanced meal that’s very satisfying and delicious. It’s so simple and you will have dinner on the table within a few minutes.

    Greek Yogurt Guacamole Recipe

    I’m a huge guacamole fan, we make guacamole a few times a week. It’s one of our family’s favorite snacks. In the past, I liked having guacamole with chips but I’ve moved on to having guacamole with just about anything. The love for guacamole around here is real!

    greek-yogurt-guacamole-recipe

    I’ve perfected my guacamole to the point that I’m barely impressed by guacamole served at resturants whenever I go out to eat. Even when my friends come over, they would ask me for my recipe because of the unique texture. Today, I thought it would be cool to share my Greek yogurt guacamole recipe with you.

    I’ll be honest, finding the right avocados is half the battle when it comes to making the perfect guacamole. If you’re using Hass Avocados, you’ll know that they are ripe when they are soft and greenish dark purple in color. If they are super soft or almost black they are probably overripe and not good for guacamole.

    Once you have selected the perfect avocado, you need to have the right ingredients.

    Here’s what I use to make my guacamole:

    guacamole-avocados

    1/2 Lime

    4 tablespoons Yoplait® Greek Yogurt (You can find these at Walmart Stores)

    yoplait-greek-yogurt-walmart

    2 Hass Avocados

    1/3 Purple Onion

    1/3 Red Pepper

    1 Clove Garlic

    1 tablespoon Salt

    Directions:

    1. Cut avocados in half and remove skin. Remove the seed from middle. You should be left with only the fleshy parts.

    2. Chop one garlic clove fine.

    3. Chop red pepper and onion.

    4. Combine everything in a bowl.

    3. Add 4 tablespoons Yoplait® Greek Yogurt.

    6. Mix all ingredients together and then add salt and seasoning.

    Then you serve! Super easy!

    My entire family loves this recipe. The Super Knight have been eating Greek Yogurt Guacamole since he was 6 months old and he still gets excited whenever I make it for him. The Princess Fairy loves to help me make it, she’s made it so many times that she now knows how to make it by herself.

    Have you made Greek yogurt guacamole before?

    Yummy Warm Salad Recipe

    It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of cold weather and now that we are officially in the midst of winter and it’s snowing, I need all the warming up that I can get. I love salads and I’ve shared my favorite summer salad but during the winter I need comfort food and to me comfort food needs to be warm, yummy and satisfying. That’s why last year, I switched to warm salads during the winter. If you follow me on Instagram  you know that my birthday was last Friday and I didn’t hold back so this week I want to slow things down a bit. On Saturday, the kids were having cabin fever and after The Super Knight brought me his boots for the third time, I made a shopping list, dressed them and headed out. My plan was to go to both Walmart and the supermarket but I was happy that I was able to find all comfort food I needed at Walmart including the ingredients for my favorite warm salad. I was excited to get a box of Quaker® Simply Granola, with almonds, oats and honey. Finding everything I needed at Walmart saved me from taking the toddler in an out of his car seat. I know y’all know how that can be especially in the cold.

    So yesterday, while the kids were out at grandma’s, I took advantage of the opportunity to make my salad. See, this is a salad I usually have by myself since The Princess Fairy has nuts allergies and can’t eat almonds. If your child or another member of your family have nuts allergies as well, download this printout with Tips for avoiding cross-contamination  when you prepare foods with allergens at your home.

    Without further ado, here is my warm salad recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:

    You’re going to need:

    • 4 cups kale
    • 1 cup dried cranberries
    • 1 cup Quaker® Simply Granola
    • 4 tablespoons olive Oil
    • 2 chopped garlic
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    Now the fun part:

    1. Wash and chop your kale.

    warm-salad-recipe

    2. Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet.

    3. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.

    4. Add Kale and stir.

    5. Sprinkle black pepper.

    6. Cook for about 2 minutes. You will know that the kale is cooked when it softens and changes to a darker green color.

    7. Add dijorn mustard, dried cranberries and Quaker® Simply Granola cereal.

    8. Mix and cook for 1-2 additional minutes.

    YUM TIME #LoveMyCereal

    I rarely get to watch television so I relaxed on the couch in my fuzzy slippers and my warm throw and enjoyed some 90’s sitcoms reruns. I really enjoyed this warm salad, cranberries and kale are so yummy but the Quaker® Simply Granola added texture and crunch.  What I love most about this salad is that it leaves me feeling full, Quaker® Simply Granola makes it satisfying. #QuakerUp
