Hi! I am still here!

Sorry for the absence around here lately. To be honest, the impending school year and all the uncertainty sort of got the best of me the past few weeks.

Imagine all the anxious hair twirls.

That’s why I had to take a break.

Now that my husband and the boys’ school years are figured out, I can maybe slightly relax and get back to blogging as usual.

During my brief hiatus, I sought comfort in all the snack food.

Most days were spent reading on the deck with the boys splashing in the inflatable pool. When they got hangry, I brought out big snack trays.

Classic homemade ranch dip is always a go to, but it goes too quickly.

We are also big fans of salsa and guacamole, but guac usually gets forgotten about and turns brown.

My most favorite anxiety curing (don’t hold me clinically responsible for that statement) dip during these times was this easy avocado ranch dip.

I liked it with chips; tortilla or potato. It works with both.

Easy avocado ranch dip is dilly, onion-y, and packed full of good, creamy avocado flavor. You just throw all the fresh ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth.

This dip is also great on burrito bowls or tacos.

You’re going to love this recipe. Also, did you see that giant Florida avocado?

I have never seen an avocado that large. I used half of the giant avocado for this recipe. Half of that giant came out to about a whole small avocado.

Add more or less avocado and you can totally sub in Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and mayo.
