TINAPA AND AVOCADO RICE, AVOCADO SUMMER SALAD AND AVOCADO CREAM DREAM

Its AVOCADO season and if you may want to know, avocado is one among the many fruits that I really love. Just a few days ago, the 3 pieces of avocado fruit that my mom brought has ripen. And instantly I made 3 luscious recipes from it. My first recipe is Tinapa and Avocado rice, Avocado Summer Salad and the dessert, Avocado Cream Dream.  Check this out and you may want to take advantage of the avocado season too!
