Tilapia & Red Potatoes

Tilapia & Red Potatoes

I've mentioned previously that I changed my diet drastically a few weeks after going gluten-free. One of the first changes I committed to was to make a simple meat and veggie dinner every week. At first it was an attempt to cut down on eating heavy, or processed foods too often. But, I developed this meal and it's not only become very convenient, but VERY tasty. We've been eating this once a week for several weeks and haven't grown tired of it because it's that good. Not only that, but it's really convenient on busy days. This makes a filling meal for 2 people.

Vegan Quesadillas

Vegan Quesadillas

Recently I've been experimenting with going dairy-free. Long story short: I react VERY poorly to carrageenan so that didn't last long. Anyway, it was pretty hard. For me, cheese was one of the most disappointing offerings of the dairy-free market. But then I found the Daiya Havarti Garlic & JalapeƱo Wedge. It tasted way better than the other cheeses I had tried and melted fantastically (where others failed). I knew instantly what to make with it. And this is what I came up with. The avocado balances the spiciness of the "cheese" really well making the simplicity of the ingredients work. It's quick, easy, and really yummy.
