New Favorite Thing to Eat for Lunch and Other Activities...

I have not always been a fan of avocados.  They don't taste like much on their own, but it is amazing the things you can make and do with them.  As I have gotten older, I have come to love eating them and using them whenever possible in recipes.  My husband Jason does most of the cooking around here.  Despite my lack of enthusiasm for cooking and baking, I like to go on pinterest and look through cookbooks for healthy recipes and things to eat.  I found an easy to make recipe on pinterest not long ago, when I went searching for pre-diabetic easy to make things for myself and my family.

Here are the ingredients and instructions for making this simple, healthy lunch.

Recipe and instructions:
Take an avocado and remove the seed
Scoop out the inside and put the shell to the side for later use
Take a can of tuna, drain it and put it to the side (add mayo or miracle whip if you want to)
Chop up a tomato, we use Roma tomatoes
Mix avocado, tomato and tuna together in a bowl
Add a little lemon juice and mix it in with other ingredients
Put mixture into shell of avocado
Serve and eat

Super simple and very delicious and healthy for you.

Of course you have to like avocado, tuna and tomato to enjoy this simple treat for lunch.



Yeah, I'm trying new things to keep myself occupied.  I'm hoping to get outside for a short walk today to get some fresh air and take a photo of something I find interesting or inspiring.  This is an exercise, VB came up with, but that I have been failing at miserably.  I'm just not a person who goes outside in cold weather unless I absolutely have to, or if I can't take the cabin fever anymore.

Today, I'll probably do my treadmill walking, hang out with Preston, go to afternoon yoga (just started and go once a week for an hour.  I can really feel it not long after I'm done) and work on crocheting the blanket I've been working on forever.  Yes, crocheting is another thing I've decided to learn to keep myself occupied when Preston is napping.  I usually choose to read, but sometimes I'm too antsy to sit and read, so streaming tv shows on netflix and keeping my hands occupied for a while helps me calm down and be less antsy.  One of these days I'll post of photo of my progress.

One of these days I am also going to start setting up my creative space.  The last week and a half have been really rough, but that story is for another post, another time.  Hopefully things will calm down enough for me to put my new desk together and start decorating the room in the next week or so.  :)
