    I could eat an avocado everyday.
    I love them on rice cakes with sea salt and pepper, eggs, salad, wraps, by itself even!

    I like to have just slices of avocadoes but I don't usually want to eat the whole avocado at once....my problem is keeping it to stay fresh...it turns brown really quickly for me. I've tried to leave the pit in the other half...I heard that helps it. Anyone like to share their suggestions??

    Sprinkle the part you are not using with lime juice and wrap tightly. Turns a little brown but not nearly as bad if I don't use the lime juice.

    I put an avocado (peeled of course) in a blender with some olive oil and a little Italian dressing and blended til smooth. Then tossed in less than a quarter cup of parm cheese and blended again. It made a pretty decent Alfredo substitute for my spaghetti squash.

    Honestly, my favorite way to eat one is to just sprinkle a little salt on and eat it with a spoon.

    I sometimes like to smear it all over my face.









    No, seriously, it's a great moisturizer.

    I make it into pudding or ice cream. I put it in another post not so long ago.

    Its fantastic before bed, I no longer get cramps in my legs at night.

    I like to make avocado pie.....

    sounds crazy, but tastes like cheesecake. It is not baked, so it is fresh. It's in a nut or graham crust. Yummm...and is a good conversation piece lol!

    Google it.

    I love them plain just to eat. I also make guacamole with a little fresh onion, garlic lime juice and pepper and salt to taste. Yesterday I had a couple sitting here and we made BLT's for supper, so I sliced one up and put on the BLT. Yummy.

    I personally like it on tuna melts, plain, in mexican or these two strange ways


    Avacado Fries
    -1/2 in olive oil heated in pan
    -1/2 in avacado slices
    -1-2 eggs (mixed up)
    -1/4 c whole wheat flour
    -1/4 c multigrain crackers crushed (Trader Joes green and white box are best)

    mix up the egg and set aside, combine flour and crushed crackers, roll avacado slices in egg mixture, then press into flour/cracker mixture. Place in oil and fry till crispy. It's a very healthy replacement to french fries and tastes AMAZING. High in fat so watch the ammount you eat.....approx 1/4 avacado per person.


    Chocolate Avacado (Never tried was told by someone it was good)
    -1 avacado
    -2t hersheys baking powder (unsweetened)
    -3t agave

    squish and refrigerate and enjoy.

    I love avos!

    They're great on eggs (on top of omelettes)
    egg salad with avocado instead of mayo and a little mustard
    poached egg on a slice of toast covered in avocados

    Use avocado in place of mustard or mayo on sandwich (sometimes in the place of cheese)

    In salads

    I never liked them until recently either, now I love them. My favorite way to eat them is to mash one up with a little sea salt and a squeeze of lime and then mix it up with chicken. I either eat it as is or put on a tortilla. I use it in place of mayonnaise.

    California rolls! Or any variations - avocados are great in sushi rolls. Great in sandwiches and salads.

    And, most recently I've had avocados like this...

    IMG_9354.jpg

    oatmeal w/ two eggs poached in, center cut bacon (lower fat than regular bacon), and hot sauce.

    And avocado + mango salsa (use roasted tomatillos instead of tomatoes).
