When I was young and growing up in Miami, Florida, some of our neighbors had avocado trees. We didn’t have to buy them from the store. The neighbors were very generous and gave my mother bags full of them. I love avocados. My mother would put them in salads. But I would just eat the avocado by itself with a little squirt of lime or lemon juice, and a light sprinkling of salt and black pepper.
Then I moved to Texas. The stores mostly sell the Hass avocados from California. Compared to the huge Florida avocados I used to eat, there is no comparison. But I buy them anyway because that’s what’s in the produce section of the grocery store. If I want the Florida avocados I have to shop at a specialty store. Unreal!
Anyway! These days it seems people just can’t enough avocados. They are being used in all kinds of recipes, including chocolate mousse and brownies! You can also fry them like french fries! Avocado fries. Who knew? I didn’t know. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that avocados are in such high demand that the Mexican drug cartels are trying to muscle their way into the market so they can push up the prices. Can you believe that? If it’s true that really makes me mad. But I don’t want to go off on a rant about the impact of underworld organized crime on the international economy and our daily lives.
Are you often surprised to find that many of the delicious foods you enjoyed freely eating while growing up, like avocados, have tremendous health benefits? You were eating healthy and didn’t even know it. So avocados taste good, they’re good for me AND … now I’m discovering there are lots of great recipes where they are the main ingredient. In fact, there are Flipboard magazines wholly devoted to what is now revered as one of the world’s healthiest foods, the avocado. Cool huh?

It really is a delicious food. My daughters and I love them!
Guacamole is my favorite way to have avocado.
Guacamole was never on my food radar when I live in Florida. But when I moved to Texas? It’s all about the guacamole!
guacamole, chicken with avocado slices, hamburgers with avo slices the list goes on forever. We love them!!!!!!!
My kids insisted on going to this restaurant to buy a particular sandwich. I balked when I saw the price but when I realized it had avocado I knew why they wanted that sandwich. LOL.
i love avo in sandwiches. I do wish that didn’t automatically double the price!
there is a place in town that makes fish and chips, with an avocado based tartar sauce!
I like avocado and I generally eat it raw. I have to try one of your recipes!
I am keen on trying the soup. But only because it mentions serving it with warm tortilla chips. I can imagine it would be delicious. I already enjoy avocado with chicken tortilla soup.
