This is what I had for lunch today. So light, refreshing and filling. I have a deep love and respect for avocados; I usually will incorporate them as much as I can on a daily basis. I use them in my salads, smoothies, with my eggs, with tuna, eat them by themselves…on everything and with… Continue reading Stuffed Avocados
