Anyone else love Avocados? I have a slight obsession with them. Scrambled egg and avocado on toast is so good. Also just plain avocado on toast for breakfast is so nice ;)
Have a try...good fats x

    Yep, I have developed a love for these. Grilled cheese with avocado and bacon are the bomb. Probably not the best for my diet, but delicious just the same.

    oh yeah, go through a bag a week here! My favorite is to mash them up with shredded chicken, greek yogurt, a little salt and papper, spread in a wrap, roll up and freeze. super yummy quick lunch, either zap it for 30 seconds or take out in the AM and it's thawed by lunch.

    Mash it up and use it instead of mayo in your tuna sandwich. It will change your life for the better.

    Now that I found out you don't have to buy avocado organic because the pesticide residue is pretty low (once peeled, of course) I'm going to start buying them. I passed up a bin of $1 avocados the other day at the store because I wasn't sure about it. Darn it. Should have looked it up long ago.

    I love them too and try putting them in different dishes. Salads, omelets, tacos, etc.

    I have recently discovered these wonderful little fruits and I love them. Buy one every week now. I just wrap a slice in turkey or chicken lunchmeat. Matter of fact, that's lunch today! :smile:

    <- Avocado addict right here. I mash them with a juicy tomato and use it as a creamy salad dressing, I mash them and use them in place of mayo for just about everything, I eat them with salt and a spoon. Did I mention I love avocados?

    LOVE the avocados! Any way, any time, on anything! I have one sitting on my desk for lunch - just cut it open and eat it with a spoon! Grosses out my office mates - but, hey, makes me happy!

    I should not eat a whole one in a day so how do you store the rest so it does not turn brown?

    Avocado is muy sexy. Wifey's favorite food and in my top five. On toast is the bomb. Guacamole with habaneros is divine. Throw it on a sandwich, a salad, an omelet... jesus, give me more aguacate!

    Oh my, yes.

    I eat half at a time, I'm the only one in the house who likes them. I keep the stone in and put it in the fridge, wrapped in clingfilm. I cut off what little bit has browned the next day to scoff the other half.

    I eat two to three a day. I just scoop it out, lightly salt them and eat them. I could eat dozens.

    I read that if you put a piece of onion in the baggie it won't brown due to acidity. Kinda like dunking apples in lemon juice so they don't brown in your fruit salad I guess.

    I very rarely have any left over avocado - we fight over them in our house - but, if so, yes leave the nut in and "close" it back up, wrap it and put in the fridge. Then take it back out 10 minutes later and eat it! :D I will eat a whole one as long as I have figured that into my log.

    Avocado is love. I eat it almost every day. Salmon and avocado sandwich is one of my favorite snacks

    I love them, if only I could get my toddler to eat them as well. I always stock up on them when they are on sale, buy them very green and hard. Then when you want one, take it out near a ripe banana for 2 days and they will soften fast

    I dice them up, toss with lemon juice, and seal in a pyrex with a lid - usually lasts a day or two. I rarely have to store them though because I usually do eat a whole one. Cut that puppy in half, drop an egg in each side and bake!! Mine and hubby's fave sunday breakfast.

    so good! takes about an hour to make 20 or so....I wrap each one in saran wrap, then stuff as many as I can into gallon freezer bags. It was one of the first meals I learned how to "prep" and now I'm hooked. I also do breakfast burritos and "apple pie" burritos for my toddler.
