Scrambled Eggs With Avocado

And carrots. I had this last week but been too busy to share until now. It was @nela13 that recommended this to me in one of my discussions about eggs. And @celticeagle gave me tips how to pick the right avocado when shopping. After all, the main reason I never bought avocado was that I didn't know how to choose one. Long story short, I had half with scrambled eggs for lunch and the other half for dinner with noodles. And I fell in love with it! But I didn't get any for the upcoming week because it wasn't on sale. Well, I also didn't want to destroy my new love relationship by overdoing. I got a kilo (2.2 lbs) of carrots though. That'll be fun. I'm not brave enough to turn them into vegan bacon but I had them mashed with cream cheese and got my approval. I plan to make french fries out of them as well as baking some sweet goods. We'll see if it'll happen.

@lilacskies Thank you, I really enjoyed it. This time the discounted item that goes with eggs was cheese, less healthy fats but I don't eat cheese often so it should be okay.

@Danielclark691 Is there a way to make scrambled eggs look pretty? Maybe a cute bowl?

@somewitch I think your food looks fine. I suppose if you had to have Martha Stewart appeal you could just lay slices of avocado on the side of the scrambled eggs.

@somewitch No, I don't. Avocado always tasted greasy when someone talked me into eating it and I really don't like greasy. Not even fat tastes that greasy to me.

@DaddyEvil I thought so, dots of dislike. It does taste fatty to me but in a good way, not greasy. Well, I don’t think I mind greasy actually.

Ripe avocado is very tasty with most anything. Carrots are versatile. I'm not super fond of carrots but they are good food so I put them into lots of my vegie bean stews.

@somewitch Carrots mashed with cream cheese??? That is sure different. Kind of like carrot cake?

@sallypup More like a puree, only using fat-free cream cheese instead of butter to save some calories. And adding spices such as garlic powder. I’m not sure I’ll make a cake, I was thinking of muffins. Or I could try a microwavable mugcake but I don’t know if the mugs I have at home are suitable, they got no symbol that tells so.

@sallypup Well said. Carrots are somehow like potatoes except they got their own peculiar taste. Sometimes they taste soapy and obviously, not nice. But when I have them mashed with cream cheese I can barely taste the carrot so that's good.

Vegan bacon is an abominations. Either eat bacon or don't. Don't try to make bacon out of something that isn't bacon.

@thislittlepennyearns What went wrong? Did it just taste like carrots or was it even worse?

@thislittlepennyearns I know, I would do it mostly to create outrage. I mean, curiosity.

@GardenGerty Thanks, healthy food can be pretty tasty. I cut down on a lot of junk I got to appreciate fruits even, I didn't know it was possible.

It sounds like it would be good. You can make vegan bacon out of banana peels and coconut animo acid. I haven't tried it yet, but I have both I could anytime. Except now I have regular bacon..

@snowy22315 Banana peels, that's interesting! I'd throw them away otherwise. I didn't buy bananas this week either but I'll keep it in mind next time. I won't be able to get coconut amino though, I'll have to replace it with something else. Yeah, regular bacon is okay in small quantities I guess.

@allknowing It can be improved by slicing the avocado properly, but I couldn't because it was quite ripe as well as my first time. I think even mashing the avocado or even making some guacamole to pour onto the eggs would have made it better. It was pretty good nevertheless.

@pahak627 Just eggs, carrots and avocado. I don't remember the spices I used, salt and pepper for sure. Then I might have added turmeric, garlic and powders like that but I can't recall.

Something I never tried, i will get eggs when I order groceries and if I get good avocados I will give it a try.

@RasmaSandra I guess that's a lot of fat coming from both yolks and avocadoes but it's very tasty.

@Laurakemunto Oh I see, I never had sugarcane. Is it slimy? I guess it's the texture of the avocado the thing you don't like, tastewise it's pretty bland.

@Laurakemunto It was very good, what don't you like about avocadoes?

@grenery8 Thanks! I’m having an omelette tonight for a change. Ham and cheese, as I got no avocado and I’m keeping the carrots for more complex stuff hopefully.

I like my avocado on toast with a sunny-side-up egg on top—yolk slightly runny for that perfect mix! Your avocado scramble sounds delicious too! Maybe I can give yours a try—after all, they're not too different since both have eggs! Haha.
