I like to make burrito bowls (like they have at Chipotle). Uncle Bens whole grain rice + 1 avocado + 1 cup of corn + 2 strips of morning star fake chicken. YUM!

I love to mash up avos for fresh guac, but what do you eat it with now? Chips would be a no-no...so?

I found this recipe on line under summer salads. I haven't tried it yet:
Ingredients:
• 3 ripe avocados, halved
• 4 tsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp. finely chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce
• Salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp. EVOO
• 6 oz. fresh pineapple, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup canned hominy, rinsed
• 3 tbsp. chopped cilantro
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion
Directions:
1. 1. Scoop out the flesh from the center of each avocado half, leaving 1/4-inch perimeter of flesh intact; coarsely chop the scooped-out flesh.
2. In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, chipotle and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; whisk in the EVOO. Add the pineapple, hominy, cilantro, onion and chopped avocado. Fill each avocado half with the salad.

Replace the chips with carrots or cucmber sticks. I saw on Food Network Star the other night a girl made a slaw with avocado and something else instead of mayo. Check that out on their website maybe.

By far my favorite avocado recipe is Pineapple avocado salsa!

7 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 avocado; peeled, seeded, and chopped into small cubes
3 t. sweetened lime juice (regular works too, i just like the sweetened kind better- you can find it in the alcohol section)
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. cumin
2 T. fresh cilantro, chopped (dried is okay too, but fresh is better!)
Optional:
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
3 T. sliced green onions

Hot Avocado and Shrimp Soup

1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped fine
4 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs parsley
1 cup sour cream
1/8 cup chopped chives
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 medium avocados, peeled, seeded, roughly chopped
1/2 cup cooked small shrimp, shelled, de-veined

Place onion, celery, broth, bay leaf, parsley, salt & pepper in a large saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve stock.

Place avocados in blender or food processor; puree avocados while slowly adding stock.

When mixture is smooth, return to saucepan and heat gently; add shrimp. Cook over low heat until heated thoroughly, do not boil.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream atop each serving, and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Garnish with a slice of Fresh Avocado and sprig of cilantro

I eat mine with fresh lemon and salt....OOOOOO SOOOOO GOOOOOD!

Chocolate Pudding:
1 avocado
1 c. mango or banana - either fresh or frozen
3T agave syrup or maple syrup (I used agave)
3 dates (soak in warm water for ½ hour before using)
1T cocoa powder (mine was kind of a heaping Tbsp as I was not sure what to expect)

I used the Magic Bullet blender which worked ok. Started with the avocado and mango and pureed a little bit. Then added the agave, dates and cocoa powder and kept purifying. Occasionally I stopped the machine and scraped the sides.

The recipe states to serve 'as is' or with fresh berries.
