Avocado Tarragon Deviled Eggs of Our Weekly Family Meal Plan from Danielle Walker’s Celebrations

meal-plan, Our Weekly Family Meal Plan from Danielle Walker's Celebrations | Paleo Parents

There was so much delicious comfort food in this week’s meal plan, courtesy of Danielle from Against all Grain and her new book, Celebrations! We loved that the recipes in this book felt completely special- and good enough to make for any celebratory or special occasion, but not too complicated or fussy to make on a weeknight also.

Danielle did an incredible job re-creating classic special occasion meals and holiday dishes- they taste every bit as good as their less-healthy, non-Paleo friendly counterparts. This is one you’ll want to have around as the holiday season rolls in!

And we loved it so much that we asked to share the delicious Avocado Tarragon Deviled Eggs recipe below!

I absolutely love a huge salad for dinner… and I very much appreciate that the boys don’t mind it either. The slight sweetness in the dressing, along with the strawberries made this main dish salad one that everybody scarfed down! Wesley and I had multiple servings of this perfecly-cooked salmon, we couldn’t get enough – and Matt loved how simple, quick and easy it was to throw together!

For my birthday dinner with extended family, Matt made a feast! I special requested Russ’s fried chicken, and we had three awesome side dishes from CelebrationsThe creamed spinach and corn bread (with honey butter) were phenomenal and tasted EXACTLY like I remember the conventional versions tasting- so good! And while our family has ALWAYS loved roasted brussel sprouts, the added Bacon Jam was the perfect birthday condiment!

We always have big hunks of ham leftover from buy whole hogs and never know what to do with them. So Matt cooked up a big ol’ juicy ham, dripping with honey and blood orange juice for us to then have leftovers all week long. I couldn’t believe how fantastic these flavors were. We snuck some carrots underneath to cook in the juices too! Paired with a simple vibrant green soup and this meal felt pretty special! Even better? The leftover ham the boys had for breakfast and lunches!

Thursday: Cabernet Braised Short Ribs with Parsnip Turnip Puree
—> Cabernet Braised Short Ribs with Parsnip Turnip Puree recipe from Celebrations

The leaves changing color called for leggings, boots, and slow-cooked meats this week! Probably my favorite meal from the book, this meal was the perfect way to welcome in the fall weather! The Cabernet flavor came through fantastically and paired perfectly with the sharp and creamy mash served with it. I’ve been having this as my breakfast from leftovers and will be so sad when it’s all gone.

Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse the eggs under cold water for one minute. Crack the eggshells and carefully peel under cool running water. Dry and set aside for the filling. Place the whites on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to fill.
  2. For the filling
  3. Combine the reserved hard-boiled egg yolks, the flesh of the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, avocado oil, tarragon, vinegar, mustard, and salt in a bowl. Mash the mixture until well combined and smooth. Spoon the mixture into a large zip-top bag and snip off a hole in the bottom corner. Pipe the mixture into the egg whites and garnish with the microgreens.
