Endless possibilities...I can't imagine life without a daily avocado.
One of my favorite breakfasts is an avocado egg bowl: 1 whole avocado sliced in half, crack an egg into each hole and bake
My chocolate avocado cake! (sound's weird, but so good) There's avocado in the cake AND frosting
And usually in my "detox" salad, which I have after a, a breakfast of French toast and bacon or b, after a night of ribs...sorry, poor quality

This is one of my favorite things, EVER: Avocado Cashew Pesto. http://thepassionatecook.typepad.com/thepassionatecook/2009/06/spaghetti_with_.html
I tweak the recipe a bit to suit me, but either way, it's a great use of avocado. Personally I buy at least 5-10 avocado each week. Both my daughter and I love to just cut them up and eat them plain.0 -
This might be weird but I mash it up and spread it over a piece of wheat toast and then top it with basil, tomato and a little mustard. Very yummy!0

Eat it with a spoon!! *drool*
I love to mush mine up and add a little Greek yogurt, pinch of salt, and put it on some toast.
There's also a new cookbook out (or almost out) called "Absolutely Avocado". I'm assuming its full of great ideas0 -
I take and mash a medium avocado and mix with a 5oz can tuna add salt and pepper and press 1 clove garlic into it .I know it sounds weird but it is great served on cucumbers or crackers0

A REALLY good recipe for breakfast that includes avocado is as follows:
Layer in this order;
Toasted Whole Wheat english muffin half
Slices of fresh avocado
Hashbrowns(optional, its still great without it)
A poached or over easy egg(salt and pepper to taste)
Fresh lettuce and spinach
Drizzle of balsalmic vinegar on top
It is so rediculously good! I hope you try it.0 -

How is it not a good thing to eat a whole avocado in a day?? I can't imagine life without my daily avocado (Slight exaggeration, haha). Granted, I keep my nut intake lower than I used to. If you're counting fat grams, monounsaturated fats are clearly good for you and I do like to get my fats from one main source a day.0 -

Hold on! LOL!! Wait a minute!! Are you saying that I CAN eat an avocado EVERY DAY!?!?!? Whewwwwwwww dont tell me THAT!!! I need to sit down, I feel faint! LOL!! I know they are the good fat but I still thought that it would be too much of a good thing if I ate one every day. I've been limiting myself to one a week although I do eat the entire thing in one sitting.0 -

Chicen el greico,
Take 2 chicken boneless chicken breasts cook them up, make sure they're flat kind of, you'll be aiming to make a sort of sandiwch with them(Also if your caloric intake needs to be lower just use 1 breast and cut it in half)
Tear that avocado open mash it up, put a little bit of salt and pepper on it.
Take about 7 whole olives cut them in half, now lay out a chicken breast
Smear that acovado all over it, the whole thing! top it with the cut olives, place the other chicken breast over it.0 -

It's great during summer months.0 -
I LOVE making avocados this way :
Boil an egg or two and put them in the same bowl as the avocado, mush everything with a fork, add salt, olive oil, and some pepper and eat it with bread!0 -
I just found a choco-vado. Which is avocado with carob powder and a bit of almond milk blended together. Real creamy, smooth like mousse. Sometimes I put in honey or garnish with strawberries.
I love avocado- salads, solo, with shrimp, doesn't matter.0 -
bump to read for later0

I eat avocado pretty much every day...actually even have a profile pic that says keep calm and eat avocados. I eat them on my eggs or toast for breakfast, on sandwiches, mixed in with egg salad, regular salad, or chopped salad which I just chop cucumbers, bell peppers, and avocado. Avocado stacks with tomato and balsamic. Hummus, As a pasta "sauce", with edamame and kale, with fish tacos, on pizza, tossed with quinoa, seriously I feel like Bubba in Forest Gump....you can pretty much eat it with anything savory. I've heard people eating it as an ice cream but I prefer eating mine in savory ways versus sweet.0
