Avocado: Hass vs Florida
I love living in Northern USA! I love the four seasons and welcoming each season with joy. I enjoy basking in the sun and then sledding & skiing in fresh powder, all in my own backyard.
There are a few things that I don’t love about living in Pennsylvania though. Not being able to grow our own Avocados is one of those reasons. If I were to ever choose to move to a warmer climate – the ability to grow things like avocados and lemons/limes AND longer growing season for other things would be one of the main reasons for the move! Because I do not ever plan to move south, I will just have to deal with imported produce and snagging these yummy fruits & veggies when they are in season and on sale!
Whenever Avocados go on sale, it is motivation for us to have Mexican (not like we ever need much motivation to have Mexican Food). Avocados are a great fruit for tons of other uses besides Mexican Cuisine, but we love Mexican food so much that I hardly ever stray far from the Mexican-Avocado Route!
I started to wonder though… which is “better” the Hass Avocado or the Florida Avocado!?!
The only way that I could think of to solve this dilemma was to do a good old fashioned side-by-side taste test! Continue reading Avocado: Hass vs Florida

Celery & Peanut Butter
March is National Celery Month. 
Celery is a vegetable with many health benifits & myths surrounding it. There is a TON of Vitamin K in Celery, it will hold many of its nutritional values when cooked, it helps with your digestive tract, and supports cardiovascular health. Additionally celery helps with weight loss because of the amount of “dietary bulk” you are getting from it – few calories for much food
.
March is (also) National Peanut Month (peanut butter is made from peanuts – hence the use of peanut butter in this post).
Peanut Butter may be relatively high in fats, but they are all natural and has a wide range of other nutrients filling its container. Peanut Butter is a great source of proteins, so even those who do not eat animal proteins can (and should) enjoy lots of this stuff (unless they are one of the many people who are allergic to nuts). Another interesting fact: the patent for Peanut Butter was obtained by a Canadian in the late 1800s and Peanuts are a native food to the Americas.

SO; as we can see… the ingredients to today’s posts are amazingly good for you!
