For the longest time, I really had no understanding of why people were so obsessed with avocado. And then I moved to Arizona. Southwest cuisine is loaded with avocado--in fact, I remember a few years ago one time we were out with some friends and we were all ordering the same taco order. Until the waiter got to me and I said, "I'll have what everyone else is having, except hold the avocado." *GASP!* Everyone just looked at me like I had told the waiter the worst news of his life.
That afternoon, I got a lesson from some buddies that I was basically committing a sin as a Phoenix resident when I tried to order my meal with no avocado. After having tried it that day, I didn't love it on a taco at first, but I revisited avocado once again when I tried guacamole for the first time. Only after I had tried guacamole did I really start to enjoy avocado again. But can you imagine? Imagine if I hadn't gone back to try avocado. Who knows how many amazing avocado meals I would have missed out on!
Today, I'm sharing a bunch of avocado recipes that are sure to give you foodie FOMO (aka foodie "fear of missing out!")
