Avocado Sauer Kraut cups

Avocado Kraut Cups


3 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup of sauerkraut ( drained)

1 tsp.. ground mustard.

½ tsp. ground pepper

1 avocado cut into small cubes


Preheat oven to 375


Cut tortillas into small circles with a inverted drinking glass as a guide. Tuck each round into mini muffin tin. You can spray the muffin tins with spray. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 until crisp. Set aside to cool.


In Medium bowl combine sauerkraut, dry mustard, and pepper. Mix well . Gently fold in avocado cubes. Spoon mixture into cups. Serve Immediately.


This serves 4 Serving size 3 cups. Kind of like a veggie taco salad. If Patience had this the tortilla would replace her bread for the day. I am very surprised she likes sauerkraut but she does. I found this recipe in Eating Well on a Budget.

Slow- Cooked Onions with Apples and Sour Cream


2 Tablespoons of olive oil

4 medium sweet onions peeled and cut in quarters

1tsp. Dried thyme

¼ tsp. salt

½ cup of no sugar added Apple juice

2 apples sliced

In a large skillet over medium heat combine olive oil and onions. Cook 7 minutes until onions begin to brown. Stirring often. Add thyme, salt, pepper. Cook 3 more minutes.


Transfer onions to slow cooker. Add apple juice. Stir and cover Cook on low for 8 hours or more until onions are translucent and tender. Serve with sliced apples and sour cream.


Although it sounds like a odd combo it’s pretty good.

Serving size is ½ cup and this makes 8 servings. I found this in a book called Eating Well on a budget.

We try to make very simple meals that will not cost a lot.

The flavor in the onions sweeten. Goes well with anything. Chicken, Fish, or more veggies.
