The Avocado is in the top 5 among my favorite fruits and vegetables that I use on a nearly daily basis. I can simply slice it up for the kids to snack on with a touch of salt and pepper or I can make an extravagant meal using it. And the flavor, is just incredible, it compliments so many other flavors. My absolute favorite snack is guacamole with tortilla chips, but only if it’s homemade.

I’m going to share a series of after school friendly recipes using Avocados from Mexico as one of the top ingredients. Not only will your children love these, but you’ll be reassured knowing that they are getting some key nutrients. In the mean time I invite you to browse the Avocados from Mexico website. There is a wealth of information there such as how to purchase an avocado or how to tell if it is ripe. There is a spot for kids and of course numerous recipes.

Tomorrow will be Avocado Mac N Cheese!
