All About Avocados

by Aimee

Happy first day of May! My favourite picnic weather is finally here; no bugs, a cool breeze and an abundance of spring wildflowers.

I ‘m planning a picnic for Mother’s Day, but every spare minute before then will be spent in the garden. The children and I have been planting the very first crops – lettuce, peas, carrots, and beets – and the seedlings have to move into their permanent home soon.

Thanks to sunshine and warm weather, I’m outside most days, but I had to pop in here and tell you about my latest post for Jamie Oliver.

I’m talking about the amazing avocado! There you will find me dishing up my best tips for ripening an avocado, prepping it, and using it creatively. Read it now >> How to Buy, Store and Use Avocado. 

It’s just in time for Cinco de Mayo, if any of you need an excuse to consume guacamole.

We’re currently loving avocado diced, mixed with mango and topping these Tangy Quinoa Spring Salad Cups.

Remember, I’m at three Montreal bookstores tomorrow, in support of Canadian Authors for Indies Day. Find those times and locations on my last post; I hope to see some of you there.

Have a beautiful weekend, all!
