Avocado Galore

                                                                              Everyday is a brand new day,
                                                                            everyday is a journey.




But souls that of his own
goodbye partake
He loves as his own self
dear as his eye
they are to him
He'll never them forsake
when they shall die
then God himself shall die
they live, they live
in blest eternity
Henry More


There are two things in our household that we can never keep enough of: 1. Avocado 2. Tuna. I find that ironic, because when I was a young girl, I didn't like tuna fish salad at all. It seemed that every time we were low on money, we ended up eating tuna fish salad. Believe me, I didn't want to see it again.

That is no longer true. I've come to truly love both avocado and tuna, especially when combined together. We make this tuna stuffed avocado, but of course, made with sour cream. We don't use mayonnaise anymore. Emily doesn't like hers to be blended together, but places a dollop of sour cream on top. The combo is a marriage made in heaven . 

In my opinion, avocado makes everything taste better. One can make a spread and use on a bagel in the morning along with a scrambled egg. Absolutely delicious. We use them in green salads and even eat them plain. 

This morning, before Church, I went on a search for just two perfectly ripe avocado to make this dish. It's been a while and now that the weather has lifted, allowing sunshine in, I wanted lighter meals. We tend to eat more based on the weather than we care to admit. Who doesn't make a big hearty soup or stew when the weather turns nasty? The same applies to sun filled days.

I thought about how our diet has truly changed over the years. In fact, for majority of our family, food has become a healthier choice. No longer do we have heavily sauced and buttered meals when we get together. There always seem to be a healthier option on the table. 

So how do I plan on serving these avocados? We'll stuff them with tuna and place a dollop of sour cream on top. We'll serve a green salad on the side and cook up some peas as the second side. Very light, but filling. What's for dinner at your house?

Have a blessed day everyone.
