RECIPE BACKSTORY
Ryan found this recipe and we've made it a few times this month. It's a perfect Sunday afternoon munchie. I think it's safe to say that this is going to be one that we make on a regular basis. When you read the ingredients you'll see it's got all the good stuff, and I think that the fresh veggies just make it taste refreshing.
It even got two thumbs up from Mama Ellen (Ryan's Mom). Her and I both really loved the fresh avocados.
