Avocado Alfredo

It’s no secret that avocado’s are my favorite, so here’s another way to enjoy them!

  • 2 servings whole wheat linguine (or other pasta)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cup basil
  • 1T lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves

1) Cook your pasta.
2) Blend everything except the pasta in a bowl or food processor. 
3) Combine the pasta with the avocado mixture, the hot pasta will melt the mixture into a sauce consistency.
4) EAT!

Individual French Toast Sticks

  • 1/2C almond milk
  • 1 small, ripe banana
  • 1t cinnamon
  • 1t nutmeg
  • 1 piece of bread, sliced into 5 strips
  • 1T agave syrup
  • handful of blackberries

1) Blend almond milk, banana, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into a shallow dish.
2) Dip your bread slices into the mixture on both sides, then fry in a hot pan with a little coconut oil (or non stick spray of choice) on each side until crispy
3) Drizzle with agave, top with blackberries.

This recipe makes a little extra batter, so it could probably make two pieces of bread. It’s easily double to accomodate more people.

Brunch from Trident Book Cafe on Newbury Street, Boston. Tofu scramble with broccoli, spinach and peppers with a side of wheat toast. And a glass of carrot, apple and ginger juice!

I love this place. They have lots of vegan and vegetarian options, plus endless juices to pick from. Not to mention the whole book store side of the business too! It’s basically my heaven.

Veggie dogs at Fenway Park! They actually have a whole vegetarian food concession with veggie burgers, hummus and pita chips, fruit and granola. I was pretty impressed to say the least. The only thing missing were sweet potato fries…
