Magical Trio


If I had to pick 3 fresh produce items that are almost always stocked in my fridge, they are the following:

  • Onions (red, white, or yellow)
  • Tomatoes
  • Avocado
Why?
Because this magical trio makes any meal yummy & healthy.
Also, because these things can store pretty well  in the fridge :) Tip: Keep your avocados in the fridge when they're almost at perfection & they'll stop ripening & store pretty well. I've kept mine for up to 2 weeks before without problems. Just make sure you don't bruise them beforehand. 

Very Versatile...Think of all the ways you can use them:
  • Scrambled egg (scramble with tomato & onion); top with avocado + cheese
  • Omelette fillers + cheese
  • Lettuce wraps (see above picture) + steak + lettuce
  • Salad toppings + lettuce + protein + dressing 
  • Sandwich or burger toppings + bread + protein)
  • Tacos/burritos toppings + tortilla + protein + lettuce + cheese
  • Guacamole 
    • mash the avocado + lime + seasoned salt 
  • Salsa + cilantro + lime + salt + pepper + tortilla chips (options: + corn + black beans)
  • Pasta Salad + mozzarella cubes + pasta + balsamic vinegarette or Italian dressing
If I could add 2 more items I like to buy often for the same reasons as above, they would be:
  • Baby spinach
  • Cheese
Hope this motivates you to do some home cooking & cook healthy! :)
