Avocado and Tomato Salad

This is my favorite bowl of snack. Two of my favorite vegetables growing up, putting them in a combination, and pesto! Of course, pickles.  I miss pickles.

Anywhooo, back to the point. I was making my partner's breakfast for the next day and I started to edge to chewing on the raw onions and green bell peppers, so while cooking, I made this yummicious bowl to tide me over.

If you are not familiar with the Paleo lifestyle: we are usually only eating twice a day. The breakfast should contain plenty of protein (breakfast meat and eggs) that keeps us content until evening for one more meal.

As for me, my "dinner" appetite knocks at about 3 pm. If I do not eat a meal, I raveously eat anything off cupboards, even cramming sugar in my mouth. Not so good.

What also does not help is that my partner is still on "three-meal" regiment, so her dinner kicks in at about 6pm. She has a strong opinion that we should eat as a family for dinners, so I find myself in a mush. 

Before going Paleo, I always ate out of a can of refried beans. Since legumes are a big no-no, and eating plenty of raw veggies, fruits, and nuts are encouraged, I'm still experimenting in this area.

MEAT LOVER: Um, veggies, go veggies.
GREENARIE: *singing the --mmmmmm--- song*
