Avocados are such a magical fruit! I love them on almost anything, but it’s hard to find other ways to use avocados other than for your sandwiches or guacamole!

Try these out next time your in the mood for some tasty avocados…

• Avocado Boats- Just as you’d imagined! Slice an avocado in half, remove the pit and you have the perfect place to stuff fresh tomatoes with a little hot sauce!
• Avocado & Corn Mini Tostadas- Smash some avocado, lime juice, sour cream & cilantro into a smooth cream. Mix beans, corn, salsa and hot sauce and place onto a single round chip, top with avocado cream! Poof! Perfect mini tostada
• Smoothie- You would have never thought to add this into a smoothie I bet! It actually makes it much creamier and smoother! Try it!
• Stuffed Potato Skins- Make some avocado cream, cut some potatoes in half, top it with cheese, broccoli and bacon and roast in the oven. When finished add the avocado cream and you have yourself a delicious snack!
• Mayo Replacement- Try to replace avocado in recipes that call for mayo. I tend to make tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo to cut out the calories and unnecessary fats. Its delicious!

Did you know Valentine’s Day marks the biggest sales for flowers and chocolate? It’s true! The Society of American Florists say 71% of flowers given on Valentine’s Day are roses, and 196 million roses are grown solely for this holiday!

That’s just roses, think about all the other flowers, chocolate and cards that go with it! Valentine’s Day is now an $18 billion dollar industry, and its growth continues each and every year!

This Valentine’s Day, surprise your loved one with organic chocolate, and fresh handpicked flowers instead of stopping by your local grocer. Try thinking outside the box this year and get something unrelated to the typical gifts…you will love the reaction!
