Smoked Oyster Pâté

I adore "ersters." They provide a healthy dose of protein (16 grams per 6-oz serving), and are loaded with vitamins C and B-12, plus essential minerals like zinc, selenium, and iron. This creamy spread is an easy and super healthy app, a real treat for any oyster lover like myself :)

Simple avocado dressing

Avocados are one of my favorite nutrient dense superfoods, loaded with vitamin K, potassium, fiber and monosaturated fat.  I like to slice them on salads, mash for guacamole, add to smoothies for extra bulk and good fat and eat plain with evoo and sea salt. This creamy dressing is rich and satisfying, a great topper for veggies or seafood. Cut the water amount and it's a yummy avo dip!
