not your mothers menopause

I've had a love affair with avocados ever since I was a little girl and my Uncle lifted me up to pick one off a tree in his California garden.  They are still my favorite.   Living in the Northeast - they aren't quite as delish as Cali avocados - but I'm still a fan!   

I eat one a day.... often in a rush - standing over the sink - cutting one open - spooning out the pit - then digging in!   Sometimes I eat them plain - other times I drizzle olive oil, hummus or salsa in the center hole.   That convenient pit hole is the perfect receptacle!
 ... and who doesn't love guacamole???!!!
   
Turns out these handy little goodies are also good for us - and not only for eating!   Check out this great article from the "Huffington Post" to learn why avocados are a must have!
