Addie's Avocado Almond "dip it" recipe (grain free, dairy free)

What's more fun than decorating your dip!! This is Addie's new favorite "dip it" and it is actually a recipe that she made up! She just kept saying "ok mommy, lets put some of this in there"...and so I did and then we blended it up and decorated it!

• 1/2 cup almonds (soaked overnight in water)
• 1 avocado
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 tomato (quickly eat the other half so it doesnt go bad - at least that is what Addie says!)
• 1 garlic clove
• salt to taste

Easy directions: Toss it all in a bowl and puree it with a hand blender. And of course you must make a fun face on your dip...this is Henry and Addies favorite part!

This dip is great with sliced bell peppers, carrots and celery! Addie also likes it on her lettuce wraps with a little bit of turkey! 

Enjoy!! Let me know what creative ways you find to use this dip!

Soaking Almonds

If you like Almonds you will LOVE soaking raw almonds!! 

SO Simple! Just toss your almonds in a jar, 

cover with water, put a lid on it and let them soak overnight!

In the morning they will be puffy and oh so easy to chew! 

These are also great to blend up into dips or sauces and will add a nice creamy taste and texture. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think and what creative ways you find to use your soaked almonds :)
