Avocado boats piled high with sweet onion, English cucumber, salsa, fresh cilantro, pink Himalayan salt, and black pepper. Then smothered in left over vegetarian chili.

So incredibly delicious!! I’m not the neatest when it comes to scooping the avocado from the skin. Ha!

This one turned out beautiful!!!

Baked sweet potato loaded with sautéed sweet onions and garlic, and steamed red cabbage. Topped with a honey, lemon, ginger sauce and fresh cilantro.

The red cabbage is simply gorgeous. This picture does not do it justice. Looked like I was eating indigo colored flower petals. So yum!!!!! xoxo 🍠 🍯 🍋 🌺
