sounded good until you added the avocado, I wonder what you could use in place of it. I do not think a potato would be good, but there could be something, maybe a squash or something.

Maybe they could make it with canned pumpkin instead? Call it Jack O'Lantern surprise or somethin'.

Now THAT'S an idea!
It's always good to contribute rather than take away.

I know a few vegetarians that would like this. We'd have to switch out the wheat flour though. They're that picky.
