I don’t consider myself a lucky person. I don’t win the lottery (probably because I rarely play it). I never walk out of a casino with more money in my pocket than I went in with. I rarely win raffles.
Yummy avocados.
So I was thrilled to have won a basket of 6 lbs. of California Hass avocados from Paradise Grove in California on a recent Twitter party. It’s winter here, and fresh produce is usually limited to greens and root vegetables, unless we buy imported-from-another-country berries or veggies — which we rarely do.
The avocados came with a Molcajete bowl, football-themed napkins, and organic guacamole mix — right up our alley, except maybe for the football napkins. (It was part of a Super Bowl party pack.) I can’t wait to whip up my egg salad with avocado and try out some other recipes with these avocados, but I will have to wait a bit — they’re not quite ripe yet.

I love to drizzle balsamic vinegar and sprinkle a little sea salt on top of avocado slices. Yum!
Simple but delicious – great idea! Thanks for stopping by!
I have a super duper simple chicken recipe…
Take 3-4 half breasts in a pan, dump storebought BBQ sauce on them, bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
then top each breast with a slice of cheese and 2 pieces of crispy bacon, and let cheese melt, then place on a plate and top with chopped red onion, tomatoes and avocados.
Srsly one of my kids FAVE meals, we serve it with rice.
That sounds amazing, Carissa! It’s almost like a BBQ chicken BLT with avocado!
Check out my green dip recipe over on my blog. you will love it!
Thanks, Meagan – that one sounds really good, as does your avocado humus. Yum!
We love avocados here, too! Honestly, we eat them plain all the time. Cut them up for the kiddos or throw into a salad. Sometimes I will put them in my smoothie. Or just slice one up and sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.
Sometimes simplest is best, right? Lemon pepper sounds good, I haven’t tried that. Thanks, Stefanie!
I discovered that sticking avocados in a stick could also be fun to eat.. I saw it once in a party I attended to. It was the first time I saw it done, and make me feel like I live in a cave for not knowing it while almost everyone else does.
This is so simple, but delicious – an avocado salad. Slice avocado and an onion. Sprinkle lime juice. Add a bit of salt. Eat up.
This tired mama loves simple! Thanks for sharing, Connie – sounds delicious!
