What can I say about the California avocado?  It’s smooth perfection all wrapped up in a rugged package.  Not only do avocados have high nutritional value, they are extremely delicious and can be used with almost anything.  In fact, avocados break all the rules that say foods that taste this good shouldn’t be good for you!  From breakfast to dessert (yes, dessert) these recipes will have you wishing you bought more at the market.
