Green Eating - National Guacamole Day

Today, September 16 is National Guacamole Day! The picture to the left looks delicious. I only developed my love avocados and guacamole about six or seven years ago thanks to a friend who encouraged me to try it. I'm so glad I did because now I enjoy homemade guacamole and salad with avocados and avocados on burgers and don't tell anyone, but sometimes I just eat avocado all by itself.

Some diet programs encourage their participants to avoid avocados because they are so high in fat, but avocados are packed with nutrition and the good fats that our bodies need. For fun activities for kids, parents and teachers check this link.
