Avocado Dip
I cannot decide if I should call this creamy avocado mix a dip or a spread. I use it as a spread and I will sometimes use it as a dip. I love how versatile the avocado mix can be it makes it so much easier for sandwiches since country boy is not a fan of mayo.
Since he is a huge fan of sports mainly football fan not so much a basketball fan, every now and then he will watch a basketball game. I know pretty soon he will request me to make this dip to go with a big bag of chips (I am not a sports fan so I rarely watch, if I do I usually fall asleep or play in his hair). Ever since I used this spread on sandwiches I made him for work he requests it all the time.
I love to eat mine with veggies, especially cucumber which has become my new favorite vegetable. It took me awhile to get over celery but I still have it every now and then, Ok! Ok! I will stop babbling and get down to the dip…
I love mini avocados, they were cheaper then the bigger ones. I got 7 for a dollar you can’t beat that ! 
Oh its ready to go
Easy to store
This is what happens when you are hard at work and can’t wait to eat

Orange Sugar Scrub (Edible) + Giveaway!!
I have been really looking forward to actually making this scrub because it’s edible; I sometimes like to make gifts that kids can enjoy and I think this is one they would love to make (they can eat it and get a good scrub ). I know I find that when I make homemade scrubs they smell so good I always want to taste it as well, but of course essential oils are not meant to eat.
I have many moments when I was a child I would just eat my little heart out. I guess I will call them my “greedy” moments. When I was a little girl my mom use to always make sugar scrubs she would also buy homemade ones and they smelled so good. I would always find my way into the tub just to get my hand on a jar of scrub; just so I was able to lick and eat every sweet crystal from the jar. It was a good thing to me I always stayed clean and also go to eat sweets as I was getting clean ( excuses).
Sugar is meant to be versatile
The more you add the better the flavor
I thought I had a red color but I was happy it turn out to be orange..
I love a little zest every now and then
I used the recipe from my pretty in pink sugar scrub; the measurements are a little different. I also added 2 tbsp. of orange peel,1 tbsp. of orange extract( no essential oils), and food 10 drops of orange food coloring .
Giveaway Update: I have had a few companies contact me about doing a give away but I do not know if you guys are interested.. Let me know if I do one I will keep you updated follow me on Pintrest and like me on Facebook.
Pink Lara Bars (Nut Free)
Ok this is my last no bake recipe, wait no this will be my last Lara bar recipe for a while! It is pretty warm (108) so I am trying not to turn the oven on but you know the 4th of July is coming up and I plan on doing a lot of baking. I am a very festive person I love to get in the spirit; I guess growing up not celebrating any holidays will make you go all out every chance you get.
I must get back to the Lara bars! I never have any almonds I always forget when I get to the grocery store, and food looks better with lots of color; so I decided to add pink dye to the bars to give them a little flare! It worked out great before I realized it, I was eating more then I should have and thought about going for a run. I decided to add shredded coconut to the bars and I am beginning to wonder if coconut is a nut, a seed, or just a fat. I have no clue if anyone could let me in on the truth about this interesting fat I will be the happiest women alive (literally)!
Ok! Ok! Let’s get to the recipe, but before I do make sure you like me on face book and follow me on pintrest I will be doing a giveaway soon!
