I got the 21 Day Sugar Detox Cookbook hours ago, and have already dived into some of the recipes! This avocado dip is super easy and really good! We devoured it with chips, but it would be great on a burger or any Mexican dish.

Esalen Artichoke, Yam & Blue Cheese Scones
Here’s our declaration of the week: we’re going to cook our way through the Esalen Cookbook!
It’s not quite as ambitious as the Julia Child cookbook, but it should be a yummy challenge! So far we love everything we’ve tried from the cookbook and are excited to sample everything! Just a note: while these are healthy, mouth-watering recipes they are not generally quick; so we’ll make sure to mix it up with some less time-intense ideas!
We hope you enjoy our culinary journey, we sure will!!!
