Tomato, Avocado and Spinach….and maybe a little shrimp

I just wanted something simple this weekend.  After all, it’s the reason I created this blog –  in my search for healthy, simple and super flavourful dishes.  If I’m in the mood to cook, I can spend all day in the kitchen but often times it’s a rush and time is a factor for everyone.

Three ingredients that I love are tomatoes, avocados and spinach.  I made a simple salad of the three and topped with fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Easy! And Delicious! I know one of my regular readers, Mindy, is going to be laughing and saying ‘there she goes with that lemon again!’

  I just chopped up some tomatoes and avocados and added them to the spinach.  If you’re new to cooking and unfamiliar with avocados, here’s a short video on how to cut and peel them properly.

There’s a helpful hint in the video to help you remove that dreaded pit.

This dish is great because you can make enough for just one person…..

……or the whole family.  Just serve up a big plate and let everyone help themselves.

Later in the day, I was craving some more and decided to add some sautéed shrimp.  I used a marinade that I  created a couple years ago and use at least once a month.  Have I ever mentioned I’m a shrimp addict?  It made for a scrumptious dinner.

P.S.  I’ve changed up the blog format – made it cleaner and simpler.  Let me know what you think – I want it to be as user-friendly as possible.  I also have a new camera so you’ll have to bear with me while I try to figure out how to work it.  The display screen looks like the control centre at NASA!  Yikes!
