If you know me at all…you will know that I HATE cooking.
It literally gives me anxiety, and I have no common sense when it comes to cooking, whatsoever.
I NEED a detailed, specific recipe to go by,
and even if I follow it step by step something always goes wrong.
ALWAYS.
But guess what?!
I'm kind of getting the hang of things!
[kind of]
So for all of my fellow clueless cooking ladies, I bring you my favorite go to recipes!
Most of these recipes are from pinterest, but it's always nice to know
that someone (with little cooking skill) has actually cooked them,
and they turned out great!
First: Chicken Avocado salad
This is the EASIEST thing you will ever "make" in your entire life.
I am an avocado ADDICT. like for real.
I stumbled across this recipe on
pinterest but I actually left out some ingredients.
Go to the store and buy yourself one of those delicious rotisserie chickens,
a few avocados and some limes.
The recipe also calls for cilantro and chopped green onions but I didn't have those
at the house so I skipped them.
Here's what you do:
Cut up your rotisserie chicken into small pieces until you have about 2 cups full
then take 2 avocados and slice those babies.
Mix the chicken and avocado together in a bowl and throw some salt on there,
and cut up a lime and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
and voila…SO easy and SO delicious and SO simple!
Kyle and I have eaten it 3 times this past week.
If you love avocados this might become your new favorite meal,
because I crave it every day now…no joke ladies.
