I asked my mom to pick me up some avocados and she got me like 13 of em!
What is your favorite (and preferably easy) thing to make with avocados aside from guac and salads?
I made a pasta sauce recently and I wasn't too fond of it . . .

Thanks!

if you have so many, i made a really good deep conditioner with one avocado mixed with coconut milk, heated and left to sit for a bit on my head.
it smells horrible but after rinsing it out and washing yr hair like normal, it makes it WAY nicer.

also, you could make it into fudge!

I looove avocado on toast. I know it's not super exciting but I think it's yummy. Also any sandwich with avocado added is better in my opinion.

I ended up with a ton of overripe avocados a couple months ago and put a bunch in small freezer-safe tupperware type things and froze them. The couple I've defrosted since then have been fine.

ditto. I like to spread avocado in between two slices of bread and toast/grill it on the stovetop. Yum!

I made brownies with avocado the other day. It was just a box mix with a quarter large avocado per egg (half if you have small avocados)

try using avocados instead of cheese in a panini. Just smoosh them up a little before spreading it on the bread and put it in a hot pan with some butter and then weight it down with a plate and a can or something. A heated foil wrapped brick works the best but is sort of a lot of work. when that side is toasted, flip it and toast the other side. The gooeyness of the avocado makes it sort of like melted cheese.
I personally like tomato and onion but you can use whatever kind of stuff you think would taste good warm and with avocado.

I meant butter as in earth balance, which should be obvious but just in case...

I saw a guy on food network make avocado butter once. I have not tried it myself but it sounds pretty good! I hope it's ok that I just link the recipe:

obviously you could just switch the butter with vegan butter.
