    I grew up fairly sheltered with respect to food, so I only tried avocado for the first time after my little guy was born, and just can't get used to the taste. However, having read online how avocado is a common "first food" for babies in many parts of the world, it was one of the first foods we tried with him - right after cereal, bananas, and pears. He loved it pureed as a baby, and now as a toddler just eats it cubed up as finger food. I'll have to try it in the banana bread though, maybe we could eat that together!

    I have a whole bunch of avocados sitting at home, waiting to be used. Thank you for all of the ideas! I love the avocado banana bread recipe. I haven't baked with avocado before, but I bet it is wonderful.

    Katie - It is wonderful!  It adds such a nice moist-richness to the loaf!

    Thanks for the ideas.

    My one son will eat an entire avocado in one sitting whereas my other son will turn his nose, perhaps this will allow them to enjoy it at the same time.

    Hi Beth - I hope these ideas help your anti-avocado boy!

    I just heard about using avocados in smoothies too. I prefer them freshly cut with a little salt and lime juice on toasted bread~but these recipes are very intriguing. Thanks for the great post Jan.

    The baby and I love, love, love avocados. Thanks for all of the information and fun ideas for using them. Now I can justify buying a whole bag at Costco!
