Ode to the Avocado


Avocados have become my go-to breakfast, snack and lazy dinner. Slice it up, put it on toast, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. There's something so simple and soothing about them. Love.

  1. That's exactly the way I eat them. Slice, put on toast and drizzle with olive oil, salt and ground pepper.

    I also like to mash them with a bit of honey and spread the mixture on toast, for a slightly sweet, buttery taste. So good!

  2. They're one of my favorite meal accessories. And I love that they're filled with good-for-you things too. If I'm doing something simple, I spread one right one some toast and top it with a little salt -- best way to enjoy the avocado's natural flavor, if you ask me.

  3. Mmm I love them with pretty much everything. I saw a beautiful picture of an avocado straight from someone's tree last week and thought that would be so neat to have your own avocado tree! Except I don't want to live somewhere that hot haha (But I'd make sacrifices if I get my own avocado tree!)

  9. Avos are my all time favorite! I love this ode to them! Perhaps Marisa Midori was talking about this picture I posted last week http://snacktive.blogspot.com/2011/05/crab-enchiladas-with-tomatillo-salsa.html Gotta love living in California.

  13. Love avocados too! My husband never ate avocado until he met me 5 years ago! We always have an avocado in our fruit/veg dish on the counter and eat them exactly how you do :)

  16. Yum, this looks good! I've only ever had avocado once (from what I can remember), but I must have had a bad one or something because I didn't like it and I expected to love it! If I make it like these.. I'm sure it'd be delicious!
