I'm a new vegetarian mom to 4 kids, 3 dogs and 2 cats in CT as well as wife, teacher, therapist, etc. I just started being a true vegetarian in January although I've been an " almost " vegetarian for most of my life and I love it. The question I have today is about avocados. My grocery was having a special and I have about 8 beautiful, ripe avocados and I was wondering if anyone had any favorite recipes for them. Otherwise, we're all having avocado and tomato salad for a while - which is great too. Thanks for all your help and for a great group! .. . .

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 Oh! That reminds me, there's a recipe in the files under Mexican and Latin American recipes, Avocado Soft Tacos. They were really good!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 You can use avacado as a replacement for other fat in baking. I love the chocolate glazed cupcakes from Vegetarian Times (search their site). It uses an avacado and a little oil...delicious! I often experiment and remove some or all of the butter/margarine/oil with avacado. I made banana nut muffins the other day...very yummy and moist but slightly green. No one seemed to notice or care.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Micaela; First of all, I love your name--my daughter is named Mikaela. It's funny that you mentioned avacados because last night I went to the Cheesecake Factory and they had awesome avacado eggrolls. Those had red pepper, red onion and were wrapped in wontons. They were delicious! Anyway, I love to make a sandwich with avocadoes--sort of like an " alt " . I also make burritos with avacados occasionally (with black beans). I think it would also be good cut up with some corn, onions, tomatoes, a little vinegar, cilantro,salt and sugar--sort of like a cold corn salsa. It's almost lunch, and I'm starving!
