The Monkeys are stuffing their faces!

As our household has been doing meatless Fridays year-round (not just in Lent) I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting meatless recipes.  Recently one of my friends repinned on Pinterest a pin of an avocado, egg, & spinach salad. (original blog post)  My children INHALED it, I'm talking LICKED-THE-BOWL-CLEAN!  I made half of the recipe this morning to have my husband try on his sandwich for lunch.  I combined:
4 hard boiled eggs (chopped)
2 oz. Greek yogurt
sea salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
Penzeys granulated garlic (to taste....my own addition to the recipe)
a handful of baby spinach chopped into little pieces
once avocado
I served it to the monkeys with pita chips.  The loved it!   Next time I make it I think I'll add some cilantro, as our family loves that stuff!  For those of you whose children might not like the egg pieces, you could easily put it all in the food processor.  
Our family is on a "back to basics" mission with our eating habits, so stay tuned to hear about our discoveries as we go on our journey!
