Day #224 Mango Guacamole pg. 74 everyday raw

Top 3 reasons why I love my dog:

1. He is ALWAYS ready to walk with me, WHENEVER I want to and he will go as far as I want him to.

2. He always knows how to make me smile.

3. He eats Mango Guacamole and enjoys it more than I do:)

Yep, he ate most of this enticing recipe. He loves my carob cookies, mango seeds, coconut meat, and avocados. So I figured I would let him try some of this recipe. It was so delicious and it didn’t involve agave, so of course I wanted to try some. I thought he might like it. He was in the kitchen before I even called him, I think he knew I was going to give him some. I always let him chew on the mango seed, so maybe he smelled mango. Anyhow, I let him try one bite and his pupils got big and he started wagging his tail. He wanted more, so I gave him more. He would’ve eaten the spoon if I let him, so I couldn’t stop feeding him. I did split the recipe into a 1/4 size, so I figured he could have the rest. He devoured it. I gave some to my other dog, Willow, but she doesn’t like anything healthy. Well, sometimes she will eat carrots. I get more joy out of seeing the dogs enjoy my food, it makes my heart melt.

I heard a story one time about how dogs enjoy the foods that their ancestry came from. I don’t know how true it is. If that is the case, Sirius is from the tropics. That’s my kinda dog:)

Mango Guacamole Ingredients
avocados
sea salt
chopped cilantro
jalapeno
lime juice
mangoes

The first five ingredients were chopped up by the food processor. After I pulsed it, I added the chopped mango and stirred it in. This only took about 5 minutes to make and less to eat it:)!

Here is my Sirius waiting for more mango guacamole—>

This is the guacamole before he ate it—>

Sirius is the best dog I know.

One reason a dog can be such a comfort when you’re feeling blue is that he doesn’t try to find out why. ~Author Unknown
