Have you ever had something stuck in your head and it just won’t get out…like a song, an idea or even a recipe?  This seems to happen to me constantly.  If it is a song, I have to sing it out loud before I can get it out.  An idea, yep, I have to write it down or type it into my phone.  I just can’t seem to focus once something gets stuck in there.  I guess you could call this a character flaw.

March 20 was the official beginning of spring. The trees are budding, and the flowers are beginning to bloom. The summer vegetables are starting their journey. There is a spring fruit that’s in full glory right now, though—the avocado. Right now, they are readily available and at a good price!

Avocados  have some major health benefits, as well. They are low in cholesterol and high in vitamin E and fiber. Although high in fat, it is the good fat that your body needs.  And they are super yummy.

Sometimes life just calls for comfort food. You know, that recipe that Mom used to make or something that brings back a special memory. I wish I had time to make for Butters some of the dishes that my mom made for me growing up. To be perfectly honest, I still don’t understand how my mom did it. She had three kids and a husband to feed, plus a full-time job. Then there were all of the kid activities, church responsibilities and just taking time to care for all of us.

Earlier this week, you may have seen my blog about a common misconception about beef. It sure had people fired up! Beef is high in protein and has some unique qualities that make it a healthy choice, especially for families.

Last Friday, I spent some time cooking with the Texas Beef Council and learning more about lean beef. You absolutely must try these Sweet Hawaiian Mini Burgers that we made! I know it doesn’t say anything about Texas in the name, but I really think you and your family will enjoy this recipe.
