As a kid, my mom always experimented with recipes in the summer. I am sure most of the new attempts were wonderful, I only remember a really terrible one... cucumber soup. It was cold, green, and tasted extra cucumber-y. If I remember correctly, we all threw it out and ate pb&j sandwiches.
Today I was hit with the realization that I am my mother. Scary. I've always heard this would happen.
I decided to make a Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie out of the Clean Eating magazine. The picture in the magazine looked delicious. I am afraid the verdict is still out on whether or not it was good which is typical Clean Eating.
It's funny that I even made the recipe because earlier this month I was at my sister's house who made Clean Eating brownies. Upon taking them out of the oven, she threw them away because they tasted like black beans and I said something like, "Please don't become one of those people who brings healthy desserts to gatherings!" No one likes that person and dreads their dish. But low and behold, I fell victim to the Chocolate Banana Freezer Pie. Luckily it was just for David and I to enjoy.
Although dessert is still on the chopping block, dinner was pretty good. The best part was again the sauce - Avocado Sour Cream. We had chicken chile tortillas - basically chicken fajitas.
Avocado Sour Cream
1 avocado -pitted and cut up
1/4 c light sour cream
1 clove of garlic
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp of cilantro leaves
2 tbsp of water (optional) - I didn't add the water. I'm not a fan of runny food items....
Place all the ingredients in the food processor or blender and puree.
Easy and healthy!
