So much guacamole
We’ve been on Maui for over a month now, taking care of our friends’ two properties, animals and fruit trees. We’ve been dealing with a surplus of bananas and avocados. Needless to say, we’re trying to use as much as we can but there is so much guacamole and banana bread a person can eat. We’ve started branching out into vegan and vegetarian recipes, even using avocado in desserts.
I found a recipe for raw avocado cheesecake but had none of the ingredients other than avocado so I decided to make my own version.

Do you have any delicious avocado recipes to share?
Who can go wrong with avocado and macadamia nuts? Wow! 😀
This is an easy one, even Maria Falvey could make it 🙂 That should be a recipe rating.
Yummy! Needless to say that I’d love to try and make this cheese less cheesecake. Everything made with avocado can only be good! 🙂
Avocado and Macadamia, this is very interressant.
I never try to mix those, but really enjoy both ingredients.
Adding your recipe to my to do list. Thanks!
