Just got an email from Nicholas Foods Produce Department!  (Quick note!  Multi-Grain Rotini is coming in tomorrow!--scroll down for more details!)

They are needing to move some ripe avocados quickly and so are marking them down drastically.  They're coming in tomorrow and will be 45¢ each!  They are classified as 'ripe and ready.'  I will take a good look at them before they come off the truck to make sure that they are not too ripe!  :-)   I've been racking my brain for ways to use a lot of avocado.  I LOVE them, but they're always so expensive at the store.  Now that I have access to lots--can I preserve them?   Here's what a little online searching has yielded.  Avocados can be frozen.  If you cube them, toss them in lime or lemon juice and then take all the air out of the bag, they should be good for a couple of months.  Great to pull out of the freezer to make into guacamole, baby food, etc.    I'm willing to try it!    A friend of mine has a healthy chocolate pudding she makes with avocado.  I'm excited to try this one: 1 medium-large ripe banana 1/2 large avocado 14 drops of Vanilla Stevia 1/2 packet of powdered Stevia 5-6 tbsp cool water 1 pinch of sea salt 1 squirt Agave Syrup (aprx 1-2 tsp)  *Optional 2 tbsp raw cocoa Blend all ingredients in a really good blender.   I'm sure you could substitute other sweeteners if you don't have Stevia! Now a quick note about the pasta we ordered:  Someone, today, attempted to beat us out of the deal.  I grabbed everything they had left, so it will be available starting tomorrow to come pick up---it's a limited supply, so come quickly!  Again, it's $15 per case.  There are 16 boxes in each case 14.5 oz each.  It's a great deal on a very healthy and delicious pasta!

Come help us take advantage of these great deals!  :-) Hope to see you soon! chirine Chirine Wadsworth Alpine Food Storage 11800 No. 6000 W. Highland, Utah 84003 801-319-9111
