How do you use your avocados?

[sak4kat]

In another post I wrote about using an avocado in a recipe for corn bread muffins.  I also like putting 1/2 an avocado in smoothies.  What are some things you do with avocados?

I don't eat avocados myself but my mom does.  I remember watching my mom cut them in half, remove the seed
and spread mayo on them.  Her and my dad both ate them that way.

I just put sugar and milk and blend.

I mash them up to make guacamole

I put lemon or lime juice and salsa on top of the to eat.

I don't believe I've ever bought an avocado in my life. I like them okay but never use them in recipes. I do need some ideas, although my kids have left home and live in another state, so I don't do a lot of cooking anymore.

I don't like avocados

It's funny, I never liked avocado's either; as far as guacamole goes.  I was surprised that I've liked it as an ingredient.

The cornbread muffins are as follows
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup whole milk
1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, mashed

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-muffin tray.

2) Sift together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs and milk until smooth. Add avocado and mix until just smooth.

3) Pour mixture into prepared muffin tray. Bake until tops turn golden, about 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in tray; remove to wire rack to cool completely.

I use them as salad toppings and sometimes as a garnish on Mexican food. I don't buy them often because I'm the only one in my household that eats them.

Avocado is a super food, you should eat them as much as possible.

I chop them in chunks & put them in my salad mostly.
Also slice them & put them on a fresh sandwich with Cheese.

The biggest bummer is buying a $1.25 avocado & it feeling ripe at the store, but then opening it up & finding out they forced ripened it & it is black inside.   Not all mass grocery stores have good produce, best to shop at farmers markets, or Whole Foods, or Trader Joes.

As a topical, skin nurishment.

I either slice them to add to a salad or a turkey sandwich.  Mostly I'll mash one up and add some of my Aunt's homemade salsa to it to make sort of a salsa/guac dip.

I like to make a salsa dip with them its always turns out so good, i got the recipe from my mother she always has the best recipes!

I also put avacados in my Nutriblast and on salads.  I'd love to get your recipes for muffins with them.  It sounds healthy, the most important now adays.

The only dishes I eat with avocados is sushi and fried rice... Any other foods with avocados I don't remember
