All About Avocados
Happy first day of May! My favourite picnic weather is finally here; no bugs, a cool breeze and an abundance of spring wildflowers.
I ‘m planning a picnic for Mother’s Day, but every spare minute before then will be spent in the garden. The children and I have been planting the very first crops – lettuce, peas, carrots, and beets – and the seedlings have to move into their permanent home soon.
Thanks to sunshine and warm weather, I’m outside most days, but I had to pop in here and tell you about my latest post for Jamie Oliver.
I’m talking about the amazing avocado! There you will find me dishing up my best tips for ripening an avocado, prepping it, and using it creatively. Read it now >> How to Buy, Store and Use Avocado.
It’s just in time for Cinco de Mayo, if any of you need an excuse to consume guacamole.
We’re currently loving avocado diced, mixed with mango and topping these Tangy Quinoa Spring Salad Cups.
Remember, I’m at three Montreal bookstores tomorrow, in support of Canadian Authors for Indies Day. Find those times and locations on my last post; I hope to see some of you there.
Have a beautiful weekend, all!
Avocados, whatever you do with ’em they always taste great. Thanks!
Just read your post and I can’t believe those avocado cookies! What an awesome idea. I’m making those tonight!!
I know! Let me know how you like them.
Love avocados! Just found your site via Ree’s page. Putting in my news feed now!
Welcome, Ally! So happy to have you here.
Oh how I wish I could have a garden and grow my own veggies too! One day, when I move to the country 🙂
It’s good to have these goals, Matea. PS> Love your name!
Saw the link to your blog on Ree’s post! Low and behold, AVOCADO’S, I live in Ventura, CA and we are Avocado growers! My kids favorite ways to eat avocado’s when little was bread battered and fried with Ranch dressing! That’s right, Avocado French Fries! We first tried this while helping at our county fair. The tempura food truck traded me for Avocado’s and to thank me, he dipped and fried the slices that I took back to our barn and all the kids loved them! I will be going on the look out for your cook book!
That’s amazing, Cheryl! Welcome and thanks for stopping by.
