    Love avocados too, I put them in my smoothie in the morning.
    You can also use them as a spread on sandwiches.
    Its a healthy fat, but be careful not to overdue.

    So I never ate an avocado in my life. I was kinda of afraid to eat one because my hubby hates them and told me I would hate them to. So I just stayed away from them.

    Um, huh?

    I'm still stuck on your hubby telling you what you would like to eat.

    Clearly your husband has defective taste buds. Branch out more often. Avocados are the best!

    How have you LIVED?!? I loooooove avocados! Seriously, I could eat them every day and not get tired of them, there's so much you can do with them!

    Dice them and toss them in salads
    Slice them with a little oil & vinegar
    Mash them with lime and cayenne for guacamole
    Blend them with some buttermilk and spices for some creamy dressing
    Half them and put them on the grill then fill with insalata caprese
    Batter them with egg, flour, & panko and fry them

    Oh the things you can do! Welcome to the wonderful world of Avocado! :smile:

    Thanks for the extra avocado suggestions! I LOVE avocados!

    I eat an avocado every day! I get so upset when I'm out of them and the ones in the grocery store are not ripe. :sad:

    yes. I take it personally when none of the ones at the store are ready to eat.

    My favorite way to eat an avocado is simply to pit it and then fill the cavity with Italian dressing. I scoop out spoonfuls of avocado from the inside out and the dressing runs off my spoonful back into the cavity. The dressing lasts long enough for me to get a little on each spoonful of avocado.

    I'm sad when it's over. Haha. :)

    I was put off guacamole many years ago but recently rediscovered it. Although avocados have a lot of fat, they are fairly decent on calories. I worry less about the fat than the calories and indulge at least once a week. ;-)

    I've been making myself try vegetables that I've always said I hated, but using fresh produce and cooking from scratch. It can make a huge difference! I recently tried brussel sprouts, and they turned out to be really good (not at all like the canned kind my mom used to serve). It never hurts to give it a shot! My next hurdle is asparagus.

    Love them, not sure if you like tuna but you can add a whole avocado and salsa to it, mix-mash it up to top a salad.

    Avocado - cut in half and scoop with a spoon - yum.
    I use them to bump calories up when I'm a bit low in the evening - especially if the fat for the day has been too low. A whole ripe one on the plate and then spread it onto the turkey fillet or chicken or whatever. Love it!

    I was singing the avocado praises earlier today...... as I was eating one for lunch. DELISH! And, while they may be high in calories, for me they are filling. Also, DELISH!

    We love avocado. I mash it up with some vinegar and use it as salad dressing, my whole family loves it.
