*sorry if I put this in the wrong spot, please feel free to move it*
Did you know you can preserve Avocado's? I didn't until recently, so yay, I don't have to throw out all these ripe'ns that are way too many for me to eat before they go bad .. Just add 1 Tbsp Lemon juice for every Avocado & whiz, then freeze (I'm recycling these old produce baggies) ..

Oh, the bottom right is a dip I made for lunch before cleaning the bowl .. Avo puree, chunk of Almond Cheese, Cracked Black Pepper, & some of my Green Goddess stock concentrate (simply a mix of pureed herbs/weeds/garlic, & salt to preserve) :D

Avocado for Butter
This may sound a little adventurous, but you won’t taste the difference: Switch out half of the butter in a cookie recipe for mashed avocado. This simple change will reduce fat content by 40% and cut the number of calories by nearly as much. You’ll still get the creaminess of butter and the fatty taste, but this substitution knocks out some of the saturated fat in favor of the belly-flattening monounsaturated kind. Sure your cookies might have a green tinge, but they should also be chewier and softer.
