Lemon Avocado Sherbert
When I was little my mom made homemade tortillas every morning for breakfast any leftovers were wrapped in a kitchen towel and left on the table. For lunch she would quickly unwrap the tortillas give ‘em a quick reheat, stuff slices of avocado, a light sprinkle of salt and lunch was served. This to her was fast food not happy meals or fried chicken in a bucket. Did we ever complain? Are you crazy we knew we had it good, my mom’s food was glorious, okay scratch that…her food is and continues to be glorious (love ya momo). So I greatly appreciate my beloved avocado as it continues to carry a huge love link to my mom, the only problem is I have no talent what so ever in picking perfectly ripe avocados. I still to this day walk right past them knowing that I don’t stand a chance. This became quite a problem when hubby realized how horrible I was at the task he knew if he ever wanted to eat the “green goodness” again he would have to take charge. So for the last 10 years he has picked every avocado that has happily passed through our tummies. Read more

Blanco Lavender Festival/ Lavender-Cream Cheese Stuffed Strawberries/ Giveaway!!

When we arrived we drove past the town square and decided to make for the Lavender farms first since the news predicted a hot day and we knew the girls’ would be in ‘better moods”, while it was still cool. As we drove into the first farm we weren’t really sure what to do, but were quickly greeted by a nice lady who gave us the “how-to.” Read more
