I made my second trip to Aldi this week and came home with a couple of avocados.

I like plain avocado, or a garnish or extra with Mexican food but don't buy them very often so am not quite sure what else I can do with them.

How do you like to eat and/or prepare fresh avocado?

I know! I know! If course you can substitute the flour and crumbs to lower carb options. I'm sure the result would be the same....delicious!

RECIPE:

Makes about 24 fries

Here's what you need:

- 3 Avocados (slightly firm)

- 3 eggs

- 1 cup flour

- 1 cup panko bread crumbs

- 1 tsp salt

- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste, or substitute with garlic powder)

- Pepper

Directions:

Slice the avocados in half, and then slice lengthwise into wedges.

Mix the bread crumbs with the cayenne pepper and salt.

Roll the slices in flour, then in the whisked eggs, then in the breadcrumbs.

Place the slices on wax paper on a baking sheet. Spray well with cooking spray. Add a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.

Bake for approximately 12 minutes at 400˚F/204˚C. Flip alway through and re-spray. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!

Okay that's it! I'm buying avocados today. Probably gonna cost a mint here midwinter but I don't care!

I am off the beaten track but I love avocados as a guacamole with sardines, onions and Tabasco!Ha!

I love making a salad with black Beans, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

when I was pre-op, I used to occasionally put it in smoothies instead of a banana - it makes them really creamy (but watch how much you're drinking - it's really high in calories!!).

Dang what is wrong with just peal and eat?

I like vegies - raw, raw, raw!

So this thread totally sent me to the store for avocado.

I diced two small, added the juice of one lime, salt, diced red onion, a bit of Tabasco, a few tablespoons of salsa verde, and tossed it lightly.

Fabulous.

I make an avocado sauce. smashed avocado, tiny bit of milk of choice, salt pepper to taste. I serve it over black bean pasta with a warmed salsa verde.

Scrambled egg with avocado on toast is a favorite.

Jalapeno Poppers

1 avocado

sliced bacon

sun dried tomato (1/4 cup)

salt

jalapeno slices

honey (tsp)

mash avocado, add salt and diced sun dried tomato, to chunky consistency, slice bacon in half, place one slice jalapeno on half bacon slice, dab avocado mixture, then wrap. Take the other bacon half and wrap it perpendicularly. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remainder of bacon slices. Place in oven and bake to crispiness of preference. Some people like their bacon crispier than others.

Eat and enjoy.

Also if you don't eat bacon, this mixture can be used to stuff chicken breast or to lay shrimp or fish across.

This sounds positively decadent.

Jalapeño poppers were my kryptonite pre-op so I may have to try this one.

Oh and for a option with less fat, there is always turkey bacon. I have tried it all. Though this is my recipe from prior to surgery so I haven't made them recently because I can't have them yet.

I LOVE avocado. They make everything taste better.

Before surgery, I used to toast a sandwich thin, add a piece of mozzarella cheese, sprinkle with garlic powder, add pre-cooked bacon, melt quickly under broiler then top with fresh tomato and avocado. It was so dang delicious.

Now I add it to any Breakfast, garnish any dinner or make various salsas or guacamole out of it!

Buying avocados today!

I got mine yesterday! Five of them! Because I knew the whole family would attack ????

Maybe I should be investing in an Avocado farm!
