I just received a beautiful shipment of fuerte avocados from CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com
I’ve posted previously about CaliforniaAvocadosDirect.com and mentioned that it’s a family farm and how each avocado is inspected, hand-selected, and hand-picked before it’s shipped to consumers.
The Holtz family avocado farm in 1973
The farm in 2010
Here are some of my favorite recipes using avocados:
Avocado, Cream Cheese, and Salsa-Stuffed Puff Pastries (with a vegan option)
What’s not to love about squishy warm avocado, with melted cream cheese, flavored with two kinds of salsa to give the bites just a touch of sweet from the mango salsa and a kick from the green salsa verde.
Vanilla Avocado Banana Ice Cream (Raw, Vegan, GF)
You cannot “taste” the avocado. Trust me on this one; it’s really rich, creamy, sweet, and very ice cream-like.
People write to me frequently telling me how much they love this healthier recipe for ice cream. And that their unsuspecting husbands and kids do, too.
3 minute recipe. No veggie, onion, or garlic chopping required.
Vanilla Avocado Banana Smoothie in a Bowl
Sweet, creamy, pudding-like. Or thin it out a bit more and drink it with a straw like a smoothie.
Raw Vegan Chocolate Mousse (Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free)
This recipe takes 2 minutes to make and when I bring it to a party, no one ever guesses what the secret ingredient is, and it’s instantly devoured by all. People tell me they prefer it to traditional chocolate mousse made with boiling cream and sugar.

I love avocados on everything, but I think my favorite is an Avocado and Tomatillo Salsa I make. I don’t make it often because I will it is ALL and have even licked the salsa bowl. It’s that good!
I also just tweeted.
I like it straight out of the skin with some salt and pepper… although if I can be more patient, on top of a salad is great too

In addition to making avocado and tomato on toast, I enjoy chasing my boyfriend and best friend with homemade guacamole trying to force them to love its creamy deliciousness.
Mmm…definitely guacamole!
My favorite is to add to a salad! Greens, black beans, sweet potato Kates (on my blog), avocado, and green salsa. Yum.

Those avocados look delicious! I love guacamole but my favorite is smushed on toast with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Yummy!
Most definitely LOVE them in guac, but also on top of veggie or bean burgers!
Lately I’ve just been enjoying them straight with a little salt! Perfection!
