25 Nov How to Have Avocado With Everything
Avocado will never go out of style.
Smooth, creamy, and an awesome addition to just about every dish under the sun, avocado isn't only delicious, but it's also loaded with that good fat everyone's been talking about.
The buttery fruit (yes, fruit!) is packed with alpha-linolenic acid, better known as omega-3 fatty acid, and oleic acid. They're also a great source of pantothenic acid, dietary fiber, vitamin K, copper, folate, vitamin B6, potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C.
Alright, so that's all the good stuff. Time to eat avocado with everything.

The season of gourds is upon us!
For the next few months, you won't be able to enter a grocery store without being greeted by funky looking pumpkins and curvy squashes of all types.
The great thing about squash is that it can be the star, or act as an entrancing supporting role. In addition to its earthy flavor, squash is rich in beta carotenes, which are used to make vitamin A, an important vitamin for one's vision and bone growth.
Pumpkins in particular are rich in lutein, which may help to lower the risk of cataracts, and the potassium in squash will also help contain blood pressure.
Not sure how to flavor your squash? Here are some herbs that pair great with the autumn vegetable.
