Stuffed Avocados

This is what I had for lunch today. So light, refreshing and filling. I have a deep love and respect for avocados; I usually will incorporate them as much as I can on a daily basis. I use them in my salads, smoothies, with my eggs, with tuna, eat them by themselves…on everything and with… Continue reading Stuffed Avocados

Ecuadorian Shrimp Ceviche

I usually just end up guying frozen fish or canned fish (tuna and salmon). Don’t get me wrong, I like having these options too (sometimes you… Continue reading Salmon Parsley Patties

Tuna Guacamole

While stopping at a red light, you could buy 25 oranges for one dollar, 5 mangoes for a dollar, or 15 tangerines for a dollar. All with just rolling down your window.
