Save the Date: Wake Up Breakfast with California Avocados
Sep 4, 2013 by Dara 10 Comments
Start dreaming up breakfast recipes for a special Wake Up Breakfast with California Avocados link-up party (yes…prizes, too), sponsored by the California Avocado Commission.
Even though school is in full swing and the first day of autumn is just around the corner, I am thrilled that I don’t have to give up my California avocados just yet. We are still comfortably sitting in the middle of the growing season, and it’s time to celebrate this healthy fruit’s versatility with a California avocado link-up party…complete with some fantastic prizes.
Kristen of Dine and Dish and I, along with the California Avocado Commission, are hosting Wake Up Breakfast with California Avocados, and we want to see your favorite avocado breakfast recipes.
Maybe you lean towards southwestern flavors, or perhaps you prefer to layer avocado with smoked salmon and poached eggs. Whatever your breakfast passion may be, we want to see how you put California avocados into the mix. Two of my favorites are pictured above: Make-Ahead Egg Wrap with Ham, Avocado & Salsa (very handy on busy school mornings) and Southwestern Eggs Benedict with Black Beans, Avocado & Salsa (brunch done southwestern-style).
The link-up party:
How do you participate in the Wake Up Breakfast with California Avocados Link-Up? Here’s the skinny:

2) Get busy cooking breakfast with California avocados and post your recipe on your blog. You can enter up to 3 recipes. It is fine to use recipes that are previously posted on your blog, as long as you add the info in 3).
