"One day, making deviled eggs,I had a brilliant idea:use mashed avocado instead of mayo!!!They were so delicious, I make these more than the original now .Well,a quick search showed me my idea was not quite as original as I thought.Oh well.I guess great minds think alike ; ) Anyway,this is my version of eggs stuffed with avocado."
