This chilled creamy soup is great for hot days. It is filling and low in calories. Perfect for a light lunch or as a dinner starter.

As a Vegetarian, it's important for me to get lots of protein early in the day so I don't get hungry and snack later on. This easy and delicious breakfast is packed with 17 grams of protein, which leaves me satisfied for a few hours. The delicious avocado and fresh tomatoes and onions liven up the dish.

A quick and delicious lunch!

This is a yummy salad that is very flexible. Try subbing olive oil/balsamic vinegar as a dressing. Remember avocados are a little bit higher in the mono saturated (healthier) fats but also a great source of fiber! On the 2nd round of this salad, I tried adding dill and some rinsed, canned chicken. That was also good. Enjoy :)

*Rinsing beans, reduces sodium from what is listed

Despite the fact that this is perhaps the girliest guacamole ever, to the men out there, try it. I guarantee you that it is extremely tasty. And, I am going to venture to say that any guy that can explain that he "whipped the avocado into stiff peaks" will impress any girl.

This is so yummy! You can heat it up w/ some shredded cheese if you like on a whole wheat tortilla or have it chilled with chips, or top on a burger!!

"The Girls" love me when I bring this to get-togethers :-)

This flavorful squash can always be found in the kitchen at the ranch as a creative replacement for white pasta. Add grilled chicken and a tomato salas and you have a meal. The avocado pesto is also delicious as a sandwich condiment or drizzled over sliced tomatoes.

You can make this hot or cold. Hot meaning panini style, grilled cheese, open faced, or however you would like. Cold meaning just that. Put everything together and eat to cook time for that.

Smoky and creamy grilled avocados filled with salsa and crumbled Mexican cheese turn any meal into a fiesta.

We put a California spin on a classic Italian salad. It's the perfect light lunch or starter.

Hosting brunch? These five-ingredient breakfast sandwiches will be a hit among your guests!

Crunchy almonds, creamy avocado, and crisp arugula pair perfectly with smooth and sweet mango in this simple salad.

Avocado stands in for cheese in this simple, elegant appetizer.

This is kinda thick to start but you can add as much water as necessary depending on how you are using it. For instance with enough water it would be closer to a salad dressing or you can omit any water and use it like a thicker slaw dressing.
