Just the Tip: Put Avocados in Everything

by runeatrepeat on April 3, 2013

Someone asked if the trees in the back of this picture are avocado trees. YES! My mom’s yard has 2 huge avocado trees.

See? I just stand and stare and the amazing trees for hours. I didn’t even know someone was taking a picture…

Just the Tip: Use Avocados instead of mayo in recipes for some extra flavor and healthy fat.

I made deviled eggs from the leftover Easter eggs with avocado instead of mayo and it was delicious!

According to this WF page, Avocados are packed with Fiber, Vitamin K and Folate. And they have anti-inflammatory and cancer fighting properties. Eat them!

So, spread it toast instead of mayo or cheese. Fight that inflammation! Boom. avocado on toast thumb Just the Tip: Put Avocados in Everything

Put it on everything. I do.

Well, now you ask, I had homemade guacamole with my homemade beef burgers this very evening. And I ate most of my boyfriend’s serving, too.

I would put avocado on everything if I had enough of ‘em! So tasty! And yes for guac, not too much garlic in it though, that ruins it :)

I use avocado to make my sauces creamy, YUM! And yes, it rocks my world! Plus guacamole is one of the few “veggies” my man enjoys :)

I would NOT recommend putting avocados in the tip of your penis.

At least not just the tip. Maybe balls deep.

That just happened. Couldn’t find the mute button fast enough…thanks.

You’re the second person I’ve done that to in the last week. Whoops.

I’ve been using avocados like they’re going out of style. So many consumed out in the field.

Secret confession: I’m not a huge fan of avocados! But I’m trying! I’m always on a lookout for a new recipe: one day I’ll find the one that makes me love this oh-so-good-for-you food :)

Confession: I kinda hate Mexican food because I always leave the restaurant feeling disgusting. (Because I eat 3 baskets of chips, you think I’d learn…)

27 Lindsey @ Run Freckles Run April 3, 2013 at 5:01 pm

I def like some guac and I LOVE avocados. They are always on my grocery list. I can eat them plain!

28 Christine @ BookishlyB April 3, 2013 at 5:21 pm

My mom never, ever, ever cooked with avocados growing up but now I buy at least one or two a week! Maybe it’s because my husband is part Mexican. Avocado loving is contagious.

Love this. I saw one of these for tomatoes or something and it made me so happy :)

Guacamole is my favorite!! My husband makes a killer guac about once a week and I pretty much eat my weight in it. Avocado, red onion, garlic, cilantro, Serrano pepper, lime juice, salt, sometimes tomato. Oh. Baby.

I wish I liked avocados, V loves them, can you give some pointers on how to pick one out?

Reply

36 runeatrepeat April 3, 2013 at 8:08 pm

I think it’s hard to choose them in the store because they’re often just not ripe yet. You have to take ‘em home and let them get ripe. If you put it in a brown bag with an apple they ripen faster!

I would love to have an avocado tree – pretty sure they don’t grow in Kansas, though! Love guac and all things with avocados!!

Sorry. Not an avocado fan even though I know they are healthy. I don’t mind scooping them out and making guac for my wife, I just don’t like eating it.

I put avocados on everything too. sooo good!

45 Karen @ Runner Girl Eats April 4, 2013 at 3:38 am

I use avocado as a mayo sub all the time and think avocado makes any dish better. I’m so obsessed with it.

46 Deb April 4, 2013 at 4:58 am

Ohhhh, I wish I had an avocado tree that I could just pick one (or two) for every meal! I love them, but at over a $1 a pop, I don’t have them very often…. ;-(

47 runeatrepeat April 4, 2013 at 11:32 am

I know! They are so expensive in stores!

48 Sarah April 4, 2013 at 7:51 am

I would die to have avocado trees in my backyard. Well, not literally die because that would defeat the purpose then, right? But yeah, I could eat guac by the gallon.

49 Morgan April 4, 2013 at 8:00 am

I like to mix tuna fish and avocado (instead of using mayo), sooooooooooooo good! Half the time this concoction never even makes it on to bread or a pita.

50 Sami April 4, 2013 at 8:45 am

NOOOO WAYYYY!??!? :) Thanks so much. You’ve officially topped my “favorite redheads list”. I’m so pumped for these Questbars.

Ps, I have guac from Chipotle in the fridge right now. Avocados = love.
You are a lucky little stinker for having two trees to pick from.
xo.

51 Katie April 4, 2013 at 4:38 pm

Yessssssssssss. I’m trying to start an avocado tree with a pit right now, and I think it’s starting to take off. So, hopefully I don’t kill it… I would happily put avocado/guac on everything.

YES! Everything is better with avocados.

Now I am getting second thoughts about planting an Avocado tree. I was down at Lowe’s last week and really thought hard about buying one! :)
