Besides salads, sandwiches, and guacamole, there was a list of recipes I wanted to tackle with these green goodies. Most of them have been sitting on my Pinterest board patiently waiting their turn. As sad as I am to see avocados back up to $1, I can look forward to Superbowl weekend again. Only 50 ish weeks away!

| Avocado smashed on multigrain toast- delish! |
Avocado-chickpea Sandwich from Two Peas and Their Pod
We had this for lunch today, and even though my two-year-old stuck her nose up at it, I thought it was fantastic. I didn't have any cilantro so I left it out. Honestly, smashing everything together was kind of a pain, so I'll probably stick everything in mini chopper next time. I also added about 1 T. of plain yogurt because it looked a little dry.
Mexican Lime Soup with Chicken from Williams Sonoma
S liked this more than I did. I didn't put the cheese on it, and it probably would have helped a lot. The lime is pretty powerful, but it's a lime soup so I suppose it's allowed to be. But, it was good.
Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas from Gimme Some Oven
In a word: winner. I couldn't find poblano peppers. I checked three times, no go. So, I subbed some green bell peppers. They were okay. I cut them too big and didn't soften them enough before I put them in the tortilla. They are an okay sub, but I would recommend finding the real thing. The sauce it to die for.
Egg-Avocado Wrap from Never Home Maker
I was super excited about this idea, but only thought it was okay. The curry was kind of strong. I would definitely try something like this again, maybe adding some cilantro and lime like in the chickpea salad. C loved it though. Anything with eggs is a winner in her book.
Avocado Smoothie from Martha Stewart
This was S's contribution to the green line up. To tell you the truth I was a little hesitant to drink something in such an interesting green color, but it was delightful. I really liked it. The creaminess of the banana and avocado balances the sweetness of the orange and honey. Five stars.
