Hello there! So I was wandering around Whole Foods today, doing a little shopping and also tasting pretty much every sample they had available :/ I tried these tortilla chips that I loved, by Donkey. They were one of the best store bought tortilla chips I have tried, so obviously I had to get them. I decided to have chips and dip for lunch :)
Easy Bean and Avocado Dip (serves 1-2)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/3 cup black beans
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- pinch of salt
- lime juice, ~1/6 of a lime (small wedge)
In a small bowl, mash all ingredients with a fork until your desired texture. Super quick and easy!
Look at the beautiful avocado:

Served up with some chips and salsa:
I forgot to take a picture, but I also had some strawberries!
If you are looking for a delicious, cheap organic salsa, I highly recommend the 365 brand from Whole Foods:
So tortilla chips aren't the healthiest of foods, but I love them so I indulge in moderation. For example, today I used my small, salad plate to serve up my lunch so I wouldn't overdo it. When it comes to chips or other similar snack foods, it's best to serve yourself on a small plate or small bowl, then put the bag away! It's dangerous for most people to just snack right out of the bag. You never know how much you end up eating and chances are you will have way more than if you served yourself on a plate or bowl. This goes for baskets of chips or bread at restaurants, take a serving and put it on your plate, then eat from there.
It's hard to tell from the pictures I take, but I rarely use my dinner plates at home. I always use the salad-sized plates and small bowls whenever possible. I thought I'd show pictures of the size comparison of my plates and bowls, so you can see the comparison. This is a great way to control portion sizes!
Here's a bowl I use a lot:

Well it's really nice out here in Chicago so I'm going to go on an early-evening run!
