Last weekend felt a bit messy and honestly not planned at all because we went on a small family trip to the coast, and everything was supposed to be relaxing, but you know how life goes sometimes it never really stays perfect, right

We had packed snacks, but somehow everyone got hungry way too fast, and the kids were already complaining, asking “what’s to eat” every five minutes, and I was just sitting there thinking seriously again already

It’s funny, isn’t it, how food always becomes the main character in these moments, like no matter where you go or what you do, the whole mood suddenly depends on what’s on the plate

So when we got back home, I opened the fridge and stared at it for a few seconds like I was waiting for it to magically give me an idea, and honestly, I had chicken left and some avocados sitting there looking perfectly ripe, almost like they were asking to be used

At first, I wasn’t sure what to make, and I even thought about just making boring sandwiches, but then I remembered this creamy avocado chicken salad I tried once, and the first time I made it, I actually messed it up a little I added too much lemon, and it went a bit too sour and I remember laughing at myself thinking typical me
