Avocado Surprises

Some of you may laugh at this... and quite honestly, I get it, BUT... I had never tried avocado before outside of guacamole once or twice that I didn't care for.  So, I just assumed I would like it in any form.  However, this journey has me trying new things.  Avocado is just the beginning of what I will be trying!

Today, I decided to go ahead and get some groceries and start eating better, even before my group offically begins.  Avocado was one of the main things on my list.  I was worried... almost scared to even try it.  I even almost put them back before leaving the store.  Yep... trying new things is not exactly what I am known for over here. But, I got them... and I am glad I did!

After asking a friend the best way to try it, she recommended on toast with tomatoes and a little salt and pepper.  Okay... It didn't sound very appitizing to me, but let's do it! 

I mashed up 1/4 avocado, sliced 1/4 of a large tomato, and put it on toasted multi grain sandwich thins.  I held my breath and took the first bite.  WOW!!!  It was incredibly yummy!  To say I was surprised is an understatement.  I ate 2 of them, along with the 2 1/2 extra slices of tomato on the plate, and feel extremely full!  That will definitely be a go-to lunch.  Super easy, fast, and very filling!

And if you are still laughing at me because you already knew avocado was amazing, I am open to good recipes using it!
