When the wind blows...

You end up with avocados. In fact, you end up with a lot of avocados. We have seven grocery bags full and I haven't gone over to collect them from last night... We have given away four bags already (on top of the seven). Anyone got suggestions for avocado dishes, besides guacamole?

Thank you, thank you! I wish I could share all of them. My fear is that they will go bad. We are taking many of them to the local food bank. However, I will keep some to try with these!

Avocado smooshed on toast! With salt, pepper, a squeeze of lime, maybe a bit of feta.

Avocado smooshed with chickpeas, veggies etc, to make a creamy sandwich filling.

There are also a few more avocado recipes on my blog if you'd like to take a look, e.g. pasta, enchiladas, brie toasts http://www.amuse-your-bouche.com/?s=avocado

Fantastic! You can never have too many recipes for avocados! Thank you!

Ooh also, avocado milkshakes! Avocado, milk, a bit of sugar (or ice cream!!) - delish!

they're good additions to smoothies too

[spikesgirl58]

I have never heard that. We don't make smoothies, but this might be a reason to start.

Avocado smoothies are amazingly good. You really should try it!

I don't have any links but google quinoa salads with avocado. I have made several different quinoa salads that had avocado and all of them turned out awesome.

Also, baked breaded avocado "fries"are yummy too! And avocados halved and filled with shrimp salad.

[spikesgirl58]

Hmm, I've not done anything with quinoa. Breaded avocado fries sound yummy and I need an starter for a dinner party tomorrow night. Thank for the idea!

Sushi time!

(I'm envious--given your stated location, those avocados may well have been locally sourced to boot.)

Sadly, our guest doesn't do seafood, but we do. Thanks for those links. We haven't done sushi in forever... maybe it will be a good thing for our own starter on Christmas Day.

Wow, I wish we could share in your wealth! The only thought I have is that we occasionally get guacamole frozen, so in theory you could save some for later.

[spikesgirl58]

I wish you could as well. There is enough to go around. I've never tried to freeze guacamole. Hmmm.
