    Oh try it carol! It's just an old Sunset magazine recommendation. Great with a lot of different winter meals.

    I love avocados, but I developed an allergy to them in my late twenties. It's so awful :(

    Oh how I envy all of you... I love avocados but I live in a place where a single smallish avocado costs at least 5 dollars...

    Wowza! That brekkie avo is a thing of beauty...
    So sorry to hear that ladies. Allergies are the worst. And $5 per avo is too dear.
    This week even Whole Paycheck has them $5 for 5 fruits.

    I've made these a few times. They're so good! The last couple times I made them I didn't stuff the mixture back in the avocado, I just baked it in a casserole type dish. Still so delicious! Here's the recipe: http://www.taylormadebytaylorbee.com/2013/05/spicy-chicken-spinach-tomato-stuffed.html

    Basic tonight: guacamole. I just use salt, pepper, lime juice & finely minced onion with cilantro. I like it studded with radish slices. For crockpot carnitas street tacos.

    I didn't like avocados much before this challenge, but I'm always looking for ways to try and introduce new foods to my diet especially ones that are so good for me like avocados are. So I've taken this challenge as an opportunity to explore lots of new avocado recipes. These double chocolate avocado cookies are my favorite so far!!

    im realy in a dilema here because i love avacados but they are so high in fat / calories that i dont have them too often but you guys all seem to be having loads of them , they would use up so many of your daily caloriesn am i missing something ???

    If I log a meal from my recipes that includes avocados, shouldn't that count towards my total for the challenge?

    I really like the idea of the challenge feature but I am encountering so many glitches and MFP isn't getting back to me.

    That's how it's working for me Jim. Are you enrolled in the challenge? If so, it's pretty automatic. Also, check your entry's spelling; on the boards there was a lady not getting credit because 'avocado' was spelled differently...

    ddavenport, I eat between about 1650-2000 cals a day because I stay pretty active. Even so, a 'serving' for me usually means just 1/3-1/4 of the whole fruit. Not much at all. And as long as the fats are healthy & intrinsic (not added) I don't bother with my fat totals. Carby days are lower fat; fatty days have lower carbs. On a weekly basis it averages out!

    Looks great!
    Yesterday was avo free for me. We were on the road, driving to the southern Oregon cascades.
    Tonight we're having another great salad at our cabin: bronze butter lettuce with Pt Reyes Farmhouse blue cheese, fresh pomegranate arils, & an avocado... Doesn't it look pretty and festive for the holiday season? Love it! I'll just dress this with a little olive oil & balsamic right before we sit down to eat.
