Now that our blog has been up and running for a year -- our anniversary was March 16th -- we decided it was high time we let you in on our number-one food obsession: avocados!
We love avocados so much that we split one whenever we're working together. We're happy when our avocados are pefectly ripe and have been driven almost to tears if we get a brown or mushy one. For those of you who "shun" avocados because they are high in fat, bear in mind that the type of fat is mostly the heart-healthy monounsaturated kind. As for our favorite way to eat this amazing fruit, sometimes we slice it and add it to a turkey sandwich on whole wheat ... or we simply dice it, add EVOO, kosher salt, a little lemon or lime juice and sometimes feta and sliced grape tomatoes. Today, that's exactly what we had ... along with steamed artichokes dipped in a mixture of EVOO, garlic, and butter.
It's amazing how the little things in life can bring so much joy. Of course, our families think we're nuts when we get excited over food but we just can't help ourselves. If you're a fellow foodie you'll know what we mean.Let us know what foods you're obsessed with.
