i discovered the avocado

 

 

 

Everyone around me was eating them.

They were kind of becoming the "new" healthy thing to eat - add it to your sandwich, salad, eggs, whatever.

But I just couldn't do it.

I had tried guacamole a LONG time ago and hated it.  And because of that I didn't touch avocadoes.

 

Then my cousin's husband, Moroni, made me guacamole.

I. Was. In. Love.

For the next couple years, every time I saw him, I would beg for more guacamole.

I started buying avocadoes just to make that very specific guacamole.

And within the past 6 months, I've actually started using them in my recipes.

 

Let's just get to the point.  I love avocadoes now and when they're not sitting in my yellow produce bowl, I'm disappointed. (Do you have a produce bowl sitting on your counter? You should.)

SO...in honor of me FINALLY coming around and joining the bandwagon, we're going to have...
