Avacado Recipes

Oh, boy, a good avocado salad--avocado, mango, cherry/grape tomatoes (whole), cucumber. I season with salt and pepper and sometimes a little garlic. Yum!

don't forget to squeeze lemon onto the avocado so it doesn't turn brown so quickly.

Hi M.,
I guess I did not see the post earlier. If your mom has Hep c she should be taking mega doses of MilkThistle. It is a natural cure for the liver. I know because my son has this and is in the end stage- he has been flooded with milk thistle and other than the prayers that are going up for him and the prayers over the last 8 years- milkthistle has done a great job. Even his dr. is amazed that his enzime count stays down. Try it- I think you will be pleased with the results.
good luck and blessings

One of our favorite things, is breakfast for dinner! We LOVE breakfast tacos, and they're SO fast and easy.

Scramble some eggs, warm up some tortillas, slice some avocados, heat up some Ore-ida hash browns (or whatever potatoes you prefer), then throw them all together with cheese and a bit of salsa. YUM!

Good luck!

We eat them all of the time in so many ways.
They are great on top of baked potatoes with chopped tomatoes and toasted sesame seeds. Season with salt, pepper and a little lemon.

Add them to any sandwich. They go well with chicken, ham and turkey, add some fresh sunflower sprouts and cucumber.. Or just have a veggie sandwich with avocado, tomatoes, cucumber slices, shredded carrots and lettuce. Top with a vinaigrette dressing of her choice on a seeded roll..

They are great in omelets with sauteed onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and a little bacon.

Add to any salad.

She can make cool enchiladas with corn tortillas filled with cheese and avocado and topped with pico de gallo.

Chicken enchiladas topped with guacamole, Corn tortillas, shredded, roasted chicken, topped with guacamole.

They are good topped even on soups.
I am sending you and your mom good thoughts.

Avacados are good on sandwiches and burgers. They are easy to make. Also did you know if you make avacado dip and hide the seed inside of the dip, the dip stays fresh for a day or two? This way you can prepare ahead of time and put in fridge.

We eat them with just a little salt and lime juice at our house--and guacamole, of course--but I found these websites with quite a few recipes.

Avocado tacoes are good. I know it sounds weird but, after trying one, I'm a believer! They're also easy to make. Cook a couple of corn tortillas, add thin slices of avocado, tomato (and very thinly sliced onion if you want). Salt & pepper to taste and enjoy! You can also garnish with a LITTLE BIT of cilantro (a little goes a long way especially with avocado), queso fresco crumbles or a dab of sour cream.
Avocado slices added to a cold cuts sandwich add a special level of flavor to an everyday standby too.
I always add avocado to my salads too.
And, of course, there's my absolute favorite snack in the world which is just cutting the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the seed, sprinkle with salt and eat it like ice cream.
If she wants guacamole, all it takes is a little elbow grease or you can toss it into a blender. I don't believe in adding all of those "extras" you see on tv though. (No chopped tomatoes, onions etc.) I don't even put lime or lemon juice in my guacamole because it alters the naturally beautiful flavor of the avocado. I just mash one avocado at a time. If you do prepare a larger batch, toss the seeds in the guacamole to keep it from turning so fast. Keep in mind that, even tho it may turn grayish green on top after storing overnight, it's still good to eat just not as pretty. Just stir real good & enjoy it again with chips.
Avocado & mango is also supposed to be good. Just cut an avocado & mango in same size dice, toss & eat. I haven't tried it so I can't tell you one way or another on that one though but my daughter eats it all the time.

Hi M.,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am in Austin, Texas, so if I am close to her please let me know, as there is help for some of these conditions.

www.creeksideherbhouse.com

That is my free teaching website. The basic protocol we teach is on the theory page. It is suggested that if you cleanse the body, and give the liver the herbs they need to rebuild themselves, it will help that condition.

There is a list of books listed on the Reading page, that can be gotten at any library for more research.

All my contact information is on the website, so please feel free to call or email me if you should have more questions.

I eat avacado's right out of the shell. I just split it and take the seed out and eat. I have also mashed them in a bowl and added salsa, and used it as a cracker dip.

Hope this helps with education

Blessings

Yummy! Avocado the super food. Here's an easy recipe that stores pretty well. It makes a great lunch or side dish.

Black Bean and Avocado Salad

1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 or 2 avocados (diced)
1 can corn (drained)
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1/4 of a chopped red onion
salt, pepper, juice of 2 limes, 1 clove minced garlic.
optional: splash of red wine vinegar, 1 tsp sugar

Lastly, to store guacamole, put it in a plasticware dish that has a small surface area on top (such as a tall and narrow plastic cup with a lid. Before putting the lid on top, press plastic wrap over the top of the guacamole and try to press out as many bubbles as you can. Then put the lid on. Oxidation is what causes guac to turn brown and look unappealing. This will keep as much oxygen out as possible.

sliced avacado on burgers, salad, and some mexican food restraunts have fried avacado! I mash up avacado and mix it with mayo, a few drops tabasco, garlic and onion powder. For a avacado dip. The pre packaged avacado stays fresh for a while even after opened. We put it on sandwiches also. Alton Brown of the food networks "Good Eats" made an icing out of avacados!!!!

Slices of avocado on a turkey sandwich is one of my absolute favorite things. Also, you can scoop out the flesh, cut it up and mix with some salad shrimp and pico and stuff it back into the shell.

Good Luck to her!

I love avocados alone, as guacamole, or on sandwiches and salads. While I have never mashed it an put it in anything, I am sure it could just be pureed and placed in anything, such as casseroles. Those could be prepared ahead of time and placed in the freezer in individual servings for easy removal and heating. I have heard of pureed avocado being placed in chocolate pudding, so I am willing to bet it would work like that for many other things.

Good luck!

Avocados are mother's milk! Love them in salads just diced up or sliced. One very simple recipe (my favorite) is to mash or chop avocado, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt to taste, and just eat with a spoon or use as a dip for corn tortilla chips (you can use baked or a healthy brand)

I like to use on sandwiches, too. Love taking a multi-grain or sourdough bread or roll, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with italian seasoning herbs. Layer avocado, good oven roasted turkey breast lunch meat, lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced onion and maybe some more avocado before you put the top of the bread on. May leave the meat out for a vegetarian sandwich.

One more: Diced avocado, citrus wedges, (grapefruit, oranges) diced red onion, chopped cilantro, 1 minced fresh jalepeno (opt. but really good) a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, maybe a drizzle of honey if needed to balance if too sour. Again, eat with a fork...could add cooked shrimp, or without with tortilla chips. Super yummy!

Thought of yet one more way to do guacamole...buy premade pico de gallo from the grocery store and add a spoon full to mashed avocado, apply lime juice and salt/pepper...easy breezy!

To cut one open I always cut once all the way around the seed (lengthwise), twist and the halve separate. Take my knife and hit it against the pit so it sticks, twist, so it pops out of the fleshy part. Then I either score the avocado flesh to create cubes and turn the skin inside out (the cubes should pop right off) or just turn the skin inside out to have halves. :) My 2 year old will eat just like this if given the opportunity. :)
