Have you enjoyed an avocado yet this summer? Oh my goodness! At our house, we are convinced that avocados are exceptionally good this year. I’ve decided that one of my goals this summer is to eat my body weight in avocados. Trust me, I’m well on my way! I’ve been making different varieties of guacamole…

Barbecue Chicken Salad
Although I haven’t written about it often, I am indeed on a budget when I go to the grocery store. I’ve found that to stick to my budget I can only pay cash and I spend $100 to feed our family for the week. That covers all our household supplies like toiletries in addition to 3 meals…
