I is Tye-Red.

Remember when you were a kid, and you would take off running down a hill, only to realize you were going so fast that your legs were running ahead of your body? Remember that feeling? That my friends, is how I am feeling right now. Exhilarated and exhausted all at the same time. We are staring down our final 3-4 weeks here in the 'Ville, which means we are stuffing every moment full. Birthday parties, dinners with friends, church events with some work thrown in make for busy days for the Bentleys.

So, I feel like the best thing I could offer right now is a delicious recipe. Ever since we got back from Mexico I have CRAVED guacamole, and avocados magically continue to appear in my fruit basket each week. Love the things, I've been stickin' em on anything that's edible these days. This recipe I have made a few times, and since it includes the avocado, it worked its way into our food rotation this week. Easiness, meet deliciousness - its dinner time.


And I'm sorry, but this picture was just too funny. An avocado with a gun, really? What's not to love? And don't worry, avocados are our FRIENDS! Good fats, people, good fats!
