A couple of days ago, I was STARVING. And by “starving” I mean belly-button-rubbing-on-my-spine kind of hungry. But I was also feeling quite lazy. That happens, right? You get the low blood sugar, maybe you missed lunch (that’s what happened to me), and you’ve lost all energy to do anything that requires more than about 2 minutes of concentration. But nothing in the pantry looks good. That’s when I decided to try my hand at one of these fun stuffed-avocado recipes. But I didn’t want mine to be “normal”–that wouldn’t be fun. So, I went with a Egg-Free Crab Salad Stuffed Avocados. Yeah–crab salad. How’d you like that? So not “normal” for an avocado–but so yummy you’ve gotta try it, right?!
Honestly, I’d seen about a thousand recipes for tuna salad stuffed avocados, so I could have made that. And I could have even made it without eggs (done that before, you know), but I didn’t have any canned tuna. And although I’d happily have cooked up a fresh tuna (haha, just kidding–I was feeling LAZY, too, yea?!), I didn’t have one of those either. What I did have was a package of imitation crab meat (although I think this recipe for Egg-Free Crab Salad Stuffed Avocados would be even better with real crab meat–just sayin’).
So, there I stood, drooling over this awesome little avocado with too much stuffing. It was perfect. Oh, buddy, it was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. Even now, I can taste it on the back of my tongue. Definitely a lunch I’ll be making again. LOL!
