Tips & Tricks
Ripe Avocado
These tips and tricks can help determine if your avocado is ready to eat! Be aware that avocados have a small window of that perfect ripeness, so ripe today may mean overripe tomorrow.
Color
A dull, dark brown-purplish color is an indication that your avocado is ripe. Bright green is an indication it is not quite there yet. I typically buy my avocados with a vibrant green tint so they will be ripe in a couple days when I plan to eat them. Note that this color rule doesn’t always apply and all three tips of picking the best avocado should be used.
Feel
Rock hard avocados are not yet ripe while mushy are overripe. You want something in between. The avocado should be firm but have a little give when gently squeezed.
Flick The Stem
Flicking the stem off the avocado is, in my opinion, the best way to determine the ripeness of an avocado. By removing the little stem attached to the fruit, you get to see the color your avocado is. You want to see a beautiful green color once that stem is removed. Brown is an indication that the avocado is overripe.

How to Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs should be light, moist, and creamy, seasoned with minimal seasoning of salt and pepper. Sargento Shredded Cheese adds richness and texture.
Non-stick
Cook with a non-stick skillet. This makes cooking and clean up easy peasy. Butter also helps the eggs not to stick and adds flavor. Let the butter melt completely, then add the egg. Then, use a spatula to turn the egg.
Low Heat
A low to medium-low heat is just right. Cooking on a high temperature can burn the eggs or cook them too quickly.
Whisk It Good
Use a whisk to beat the eggs in a small bowl before cooking. Beat the eggs until yolk and whites are fully combined and there is consistency.
Cook Time
Even on a low heat, scrambled eggs only take about a minute to cook. The eggs should look slightly runny when removed from the heat because they will continue to cook. Over-cooked eggs can taste rubbery and dry oppose to creamy and soft.
