As a Lowe’s Creative Ideas Network Member, I am being provided with a monthly challenge or Mission Possible and being supplied with a gift card to help me accomplish my mission and I also get to giveaway a Lowe’s gift card to one of my readers.
May’s Mission Possible, which I chose to accept:
Transform your entry, front yard, or in my case stoop, with some fresh and simple ideas. Show how small changes can maximize curb appeal.

Avocados From Mexico is sponsoring the Aguacate Lindo y Querido Recipe Contest for a chance to win $500 and a trip to Houston in September for private cooking classes with Mexico’s Celebrity Chef Aquiles Chavez, at his critically acclaimed restaurant The Fisheria. All you and I have to do is create a an original Mexican-inspired recipe using rich and creamy avocados from Mexico, snap a picture, and enter our recipe any time between 9:00 am ET on Monday, May 14th through 11:59 pm ET on Friday, May 25th.
Okay, I am not a recipe developer by any stretch of the imagination, but I didn’t have to think about this for 5 minutes before I came up with an idea. Two of my favorite treats that use avocado are guacamole and B.L.A.T. sandwiches. Why not combine the two?! Picture it:
