Another way to use avocados, I’ll try recipe with lamb
What can I use in place of coconut aminos? I am allergic to coconut and it seems every recipe calls for it… sigh.
We don’t use iceberg lettuce because it has no nutritional value. And Romaine, Boston, Bibb tastes so much better. Thanks for all your advice. The ones you put about coconut oil is the best!
