Avocados are so creamy and full of healthy fats. I haven’t made avocado dressing with cilantro and lime in a while. I serve it many different ways. However, this morning I really wanted avocado dressing for breakfast. It only takes 5 minutes to make and my avocados were already ripe. Why not!

I do admit, I fall into these two categories.

Here are 5 kid friendly meals to make any day of the week!
