As a child I feared cancer. I’m not sure why. I was very young and I didn’t know anyone with cancer, but I was terrified by it. I would wish for a cure. I would worry about it. I would think about it before going to bed. [Click for more...]

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.
Excellent! My curb was not looking too appealing.
Pretty plain and boring, right?
So armed with a Lowe’s $100 gift card I headed to their Garden Center.

My love affair with avocados started when I was a child. I remember coming home from elementary school and snacking on avocados. I would scoop them into a bowl, sprinkle them with salt, and squeeze some lemon on them. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Did you know that Mexico is the world leader in growing avocados? The best part is that avocados from Mexico are available year round.
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:
