Is this even possible? I mean seriously, I LOVE avocados but could you honestly substitute it for that gooey, delicious, creamy sauce? I have recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant and that was quite the devastating blow since I survived on cheese alone all through college. I have pretty much cut dairy completely out of my life at this point, expect for every once and I while when I cheat. YOLO (just kidding, I hate YOLO), Carpe Diem. I have been searching for replacements for foods in my life and I found a recipe on Pinterest (shocking, I know). That promised creamy deliciousness of Alfredo but by using Avocado. I was a bit skeptical at first but I gave it a try. I have modified the original recipe a bit for my own tasting. I think it still needs a bit more tweaking before it is completely up to par but it is a good start. I think I am using a bit too much garlic, so for my next attempt, I plan to cut it out.
