taco MAIN 1I’ve wanted to make a fish taco dinner party since we moved into the LoveNest in September. I’ve scoured for recipes, marinades, toppings, and finally found this one on Love & Lemons which sounded absolutely divine. Sure, there seemed to be a long grocery list and a lot of prep time — but it seemed worth it.

guac ingredients, bowlI love guacamole — any time of day, with any kind of meal, or as a meal in itself — I just love it with all my heart.

There were plenty of other exciting flavors in the meal — starting with the chile-lime cashews — and followed by the delicious mango, cucumber, jicama salad, which I’m going to post tomorrow. Stay tuned for that recipe — and others! — there are still 3 more parts to this Mexican fiesta dinner party extravaganza.

PS: another reason to make your own guac at home — Grub Street says you’re shelling out big $$$ for it at your fave Mexican joint.

Forget what’s on the plate for a moment. I think we can all agree that everything tastes better with The New York Times on the side. Yes, I’m biased.

Here, I made scrambled eggs (dry) for B, sunnyside up eggs for me + avocado toast for both of us. I am always trying to figure out new ways to get avocados in B’s diet — cause I firmly believe an avocado (yes, avocado — not apple) a day keeps the doctor away.

Besides guacamole, do you have any other stealth ways of sneaking avocado into your man’s belly?
