Happy New Year!! After all the holiday celebrations, I’m not complaining but they seemed to last longer than usual this year :), I for one am looking forward to eating some lighter cuisine for a while. This is a great recipe for a nice lunch or an afternoon snack. Remember, avocado is not just for guacamole anymore;)
