Avocado Mania

Lately, I have become a little obsessed with all things avocado.  Although they are usually expensive to buy, Aldi's will run specials on packs of avocados from time to time.  Unfortunately, there was only one pack left when my hubby was at the store last night.

I think I will use these avocados to add to my corn, black bean, and tomato salsa.

It's such an easy recipe to make;

Black Bean, Corn, Tomato, and Avocado Salsa:

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained and rinsed
3-4 medium tomatoes, diced
1-2 avocados, peeled and diced
Fresh cilantro, to taste
Lime juice, to taste (I have used lemon juice before, when out of lime juice)
Pinch of garlic salt
Dash of black pepper

Mix together and refrigerate.  Remember, the avocado may start to turn brown after a few days, so eat within 2-3 days.

Goes great with tortilla chips, or as a topping for Mexican food.

Potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, potatoes....

Has anyone seen this BBC show called Small Potaotes?  It was created by Josh Selig, who is also the mastermind behind the Wonder Pets.  Disney Junior runs a short segment of Small Potatoes in between their own programming.

It is absolutely adorable, and the potatoes talk with a British accent, as children.  I don't know about you, but there is just something about a children's foreign accent that sounds so cute!

There is a movie coming out in early 2013 for the Disney Junior channel.  I am hoping they will pick up the show, because my kids and nephew love it.  Basically they just sing a song, and then talk for a few minutes at the end, on what the song was about.  Check it out sometime!

Welcome back, my friends

I completely forgot I had started a blog, awhile ago.  Out of sheer boredom (when not tending to the babies, which is 90% of the time), I want to start this blog again.  Random stories and information, recipes, opinions, and photos while be the general format of this blog, similar to most blogs, I would imagine.  Hopefully if anything, it will give you some free entertainment!  

This was the best day of my life. I married my best friend 10-9-10. The weather was incredibly beautiful, and we got to celebrate with many family members and friends.

Here I am
