Avocados.

I'm a bit obsessed with them. They are just so yummy and I have been craving them constantly for a few weeks now. I've been eating avocado almost every day lately. I know avocados are high in fat, so it's best to eat just half at a time. (Helpful hint: keep the pit in the half you're saving - it will keep longer!) Although they are fatty, they are low in cholesterol and sodium and are high in dietary fiber,  potassium, vitamins K, C and E and folate, so they are actually good for you in moderation!

I love smashing up avocados to make guacamole, but they are good in salads, sandwiches and on toast too! (My current obsession is avocado/cream cheese/ sunflower seed sandwiches on multigrain bread.)

World's Greatest Sandwich

I LOVE avocado/egg sandwiches. I would add Siracha to this though. And probably use spinach in place of butter lettuce.

Avocado Apple & Arugula Salad

I haven't tried this, but avocado, arugula and honey mustard dressing sounds divine.

Black Bean Salad with Corn, Red Peppers, Avocado & Lime-Cilantro Vinaigrette 

This looks like a fantastic side dish for summertime bar-b-ques and whatnot.

Hummus & Avocado Toasts with Roasted Tomato

These would be cute as an appetizer or at a cocktail party.

Mozzarelle Tomato and Avocado Salad

Mozzarella. Tomato. Avocado. Basil. Perfection. 

Fried Avocado

Not the healthiest of options, but delicious.

Baked Avocado & Egg

Ok, if you're going to make these you need some way to keep the avocado upright in the oven because it will tip over. We used a jar lid. Again, I added Siracha. A blog post on Siracha is surely in the near future.
