I did a lot more cooking this month than the past few months. Hooray! I'm excited to share some easy dinner ideas with you that are all family favorites at my house. I don't have hours to spend on meals (who does??) so here are some quick recipes that are crowd pleasers. I tried hard to make colorful, quick and easy meals. Here are the best meals of the month.
AVOCADOS
I picked up a bag of avocados at Sams and enjoyed several yummy meals with them.
Avocado Hash makes the perfect breakfast or lunch.
I add turkey sausage, chopped onion, avocado, sharp cheddar and one fried egg.
It keeps me full and is super easy to throw together.
Avocado taco salad - I added sweet peppers and taco seasoning to ground beef. Loaded up the salsa, veggies and cheese and just had a few chips on the side.
Nachos for Cinco de Mayo
Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels
A family favorite recipe that we eat regularly and dip in marinara sauce.
I tried a new salsa recipe:
Fresh Avocado Salsa
It's delicious with chips, served as a side with tacos or eaten on top of a salad.

Avocado recipes speak to my heart - love avocados! That fresh avocado salsa looks perfect for our Saturday night movie evenings. I could probably just eat it by the spoon :)

Ok, all of these looks SO good! And those pizza pinwheel thingies! Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm! This all looks so good!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious! I seriously need to try your monster cookies, they look so good!
ReplyDeleteYUM. I said the same thing on Katie's post, but I could eat at your house every night and I'd be a happy camper! :) I need to make those pizza pinwheels again - the last time I made them, they were a hit with Paul.

I could eat avocado every single day and I think I would be a happier person for it, lol. Everything you shared looks so amazing.
ReplyDeleteMinus the desserts, if I skip the cheese I can have all of these! That hash sounds perfect for breakfast!!
ReplyDeleteI've added the pinwheels to next month's menu. I try to do 2 things a week that are brand new. Thanks to you and the other ladies, I'm getting awesome ideas to make dinner fun again.
