I opened up the fridge and pantry and grabbed some of of the food we had on hand, determined to make a savory dip that was still relatively healthy.
In the end, I created an avocado and goat cheese dip that was fresh, creamy and still healthy! If you love avocados and goat cheese, I think you’ll enjoy this one!

Before signing off today, I feel compelled to share something with all of you from my future brother-in-law.
On Friday, Ross’ 27-year-old cousin, James, passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. He leaves behind his beautiful wife of five months, Cristina, who is pregnant with their first child, due in June. While I have never met James, Ross describes him as a man of true character and faith. A man to look up to who loved and adored his wonderful wife.
If you would like to join me in making a contribution to help support Cristina and their baby, you may visit the Baby Buerkle fundraising page that has been set up to help this sweet family. A sincere thank you to everyone for your prayers and donations on behalf of this loving family. <3

What a horrible tragedy that is just not good at all. My thoughts go out to his wife and child.
My favourite brunch combo is poached eggs with avocado and goats cheese, it goes so well together. I think it is safe to say I’d love this dip.
i’m so sorry for ross’ family’s tragic loss. sending love & prayers their way. <3
Oh no! So horrible! That just goes to show you – never take life for granted! I will be praying for the family!
I am so sorry to hear about Ross’ cousin. May God grant him rest and his family consolation and peace.
The dip looks fantastic! I love me some avocado and goat cheese 🙂
Wow. Life is so short, you never know what could happen. This is why I do my best not to stay mad at anyone for too long. I will definitely keep them in my prayers.
So very sad…
Oh my goodness- what a horrible tragedy. Prayers go out to everyone <3
That is absolutely heartbreaking to hear! They will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant them some comfort knowing he is up in heaven <3
So sorry to hear about Ross’ cousin, that is so sad. I can’t even imagine, bless their whole family, and his sweet wife. I will definitely be praying for peace for their family during this hard time. My little brother was severely injured in Sept and has suffered from a traumatic brain injury, stories like this and donation sites have a whole different meaning to me now after going through what we are right now. The love, support, prayers and kind words from strangers all over the world will be a HUGE help in this rough time. It’s so amazing to see total strangers come together and support this family in this time, love it. God bless!
Yum…. the goat cheese avocado combo sounds fabulous. Pinning this for a quick holiday appetizer!
Oh Julie, how awful! Praying for everyone in that sweet family. How tragic!
Oh that makes me tear up! How tragic. My thoughts and prayers will definitely be with your & his family during this difficult time. I’m so sorry!
Omg, I’m keeping that family in my thoughts and prayers!!!
that dip looks so delicious!
the family will be in my prayers!
Shared the link on my fb page to get the word going on this end. Can’t even imagine the heartache this family is going through, especially with the holidays so very close. Life is so very fragile, it is bittersweet that moments like this remind us all to show and say more of the love we feel for those close to us.
Thank you very much for spreading the word. <3
Thank you so much for sharing the link, Kate :)…that was very kind of you! Ross thanks you too!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. It is scary how fragile life is. I hope we all learn to appreciate everything and everyone that is so important that much more. Its important to take a minute and let our friends and family know how thankful we are for them.
I adore avocado, and goat cheese also happens to be a favorite of mine so the two toogether in a dip is genius.
Such a young life and new family! Thank you for sharing. What a terrible loss for everyone. Sam
Wow. I read about this story on Saturday actually. One of my husband’s best friends was close with James and had shared the story on his own Facebook. His family has been on my mind ever since! My dad passed away two years ago suddenly of cardiac arrest and I know just how hard this sudden of a loss is. They are in my thoughts and prayers for sure!
This is so sad! I will be praying extra hard!
Omg this looks fantastic! Goat Cheese + Avocado = amazing combo. Thanks for the recipe inspiration!
I cannot have appetizers at parties – I will totally wind up eating too much!
Julie, I am so sorry to hear about Ross’ cousin. I just had a friend from high school three years younger than me pass away after an accidental injury. He was only 26-years-old and his fiance was pregnant. Not taking a single day for granted and counting our blessings is what we should do each day.
I am so sorry for your/their loss. That is so sad! Definitely keeping them in our prayers. <3
Life is fragile, and it's so important to be around fam as much as possible!
I’m so sorry to hear of this tragic loss. Sending positive thoughts to his friends & family, especially to his wife.
That is so sad! I’m so sorry for your family’s loss; life is so precious.
Saddest Story! I couldnt imagine marrying my bestfriend and losing him after 5 months, while being pregnant. Life is so unfare. We will be praying/thiking of you, Leslie and Ross`s family! ♥
The dip looks really great and super simple to make! I am so very sorry to hear about James’ passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
So sorry to hear this Julie. I know we don’t know each other personally but I feel like I do after reading about you & your sweet family for so long now. Please offer condolences from Memphis.
<33
So sad to hear about James – I’m sitting here tearing up – and what an especially rough time for them to lose him at the holidays.
What an incredible tragedy this woman has to bear. I could not even imagine the pain and emotions she must be feeling right now. I pray for her child’s health and both of their happiness, for with that, they can overcome any obstacle.
I hope you do not mind me sharing the page to my coworkers and my gym, to try and help her family as much as possible. Donating to her fund will be the best Christmas present I could possibly give this year.
Thank you for your kindness and support Juile.
Thank you so much Brittany. Ross and I were at his memorial service today, and his wife Cristina is just overwhelmed by the outpour of prayers and support.
That is so sad 🙁 I’m sorry and will be praying for the family.
Julie! Crazy small world. I’ve been reading your blog for a couple years now and currently work for an organization called FOCUS (fellowship of catholic university students) and a lot of my friends in FOCUS graduated from Franciscan University and knew James (alum from Franciscan). Prayers for their family have been emerging all over my facebook homepage. Sounds like he was a wonderful man! I’ll be praying for Ross and their family.
So sorry to hear this. What a devastating loss.
That is just….wow…..I just can’t fathom how much Cristina must be hurting right now. And as a mom to a baby girl myself, the heartbreak must be so immense and beyond words. Thank you for sharing and I will pray for Ross and his family. It’s great to know that they have amazing support like you guys!
I’m so sorry to hear about Ross’s family. I will be praying for them and spread the word on how others can help.
Oh my gosh I just got the chills. My best friend Christie and a whole bunch of other friends from my hometown went to college with Cristina at Franciscan and have been posting the link for Baby Buerkle all week. I was so saddened by this story and already donated and re-posted the link. It is such a small world that you are connected…honestly such a God moment I just had realizing how we are all connected amongst the fabric of life…in joy and in tragedy. Praying for Ross, Lesslie, James, Cristina, their baby and whole family.
Oh my gosh. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jamie’s wife as she deals with this tragic death & being pregnant with their child. This is absolutely heartbreaking, I will be sure to keep his family and friends in my prayers also. Kuddos to you for sharing something so personal and using your ‘fame’ to help this family in a very difficult time. You’re a wonderful person!
What tragic news about Ross’ cousin. So very sad 🙁
So very sad! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Life is just too short 🙁
So sad … but so happy that they did marry and were able to start a family — an angel will always be overlooking them.
My heart hurts for this family…
In my prayers
