Yum! This is basically like an avocado pasta, and it is totally delicious. I love pasta and this sauce makes it extra tasty. You can use any kind of pasta, I usually use regular noodles, but last time I tried using rice noodles and it tasted just as good.

*Side note 
Sorry for posting so many recipes lately, nothing really interesting or worth blogging about has occurred in my life

​Recipe originates from here. 

Anyway, here's the recipe:

Avocado Pasta

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb pasta 
• 1 avocado 
• 3/4 cup spinach 
• 1/4 cup fresh basil (use a couple tablespoons of dry, but the fresh makes it taste extra good) 
• 1/2 cup pasta water (I like to use either coconut water or some kind of milk (almond, coconut or hemp) because I always forget to get the pasta water. Also, using the milk makes it creamy, which is great) 
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (can be substituted with 1 tsp of garlic powder) 
• 2 T slivered almonds 
• salt to taste 

Instructions: 

1. Cook pasta according to instructions 
2. While pasta is cooking, blend together avocado, spinach, basil, olive oil, garlic and almonds until smooth.
   1. The mix tends to thicken without liquid, so add your liquid (pasta water, coconut water or milk) a little bit of the time until the mix is thin enough to blend. Only add just enough liquid, you want a thicker sauce, not a thinner one. 
3. Drain pasta and put into a bowl. 
4. Gently mix sauce into the pasta. 
5. Enjoy

Yum! Who doesn't love rice crispy treats? The biggest issue I have with these delicious delectables is how unfilling they are- I could eat like three in a row and still be ready to munch on more. So I was given the idea by Chrissy Fink to use puffed rice instead of the regular cereal. This puffed rice is much more filling, I'm full after eating only one. And to make the flavor even of the treat even better, I dipped these treats into dark chocolate. 
While the puffed rice treats isn't quite as crispy as the regular rice crispy treats are, you can barely notice it over the tastefulness of the rest of the ingredients. Be aware that there are still marshmallows in this recipe- this is not really a healthy recipe. More of a healthier alternative. But not healthy. It's definitely more of a treat. 
This recipe (my version) calls for tempered chocolate. If you don't know what tempered chocolate is, it's chocolate melted at the right temperature so that it will harden at room temperature. The easiest way to do this is to microwave the chocolate for 10 seconds, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is just melted. Well, that's the easiest way, I can write another post on chocolate later. 

Recipe: 
6 cups puffed rice 
1 bag marshmallows 
3 T coconut oil
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, tempered 

Instructions: 
1) in a large pot, melt marshmallows and coconut oil over medium heat, stirring constantly
2) once the mixture is completely melted, mix in the puffed rice
3) mix until homogenous 
4) pour into a 13x9 pan lined with parchment paper 
5) flatten out the top until the mixture is even 
6) pour tempered dark chocolate over the top (this will be turned into the base when you cut up the treat) 
7) allow to sit for at least two hours before removing the treat from the pan and cutting the bars up 
8) store in an airtight container and enjoy
