tomatillo avocado salsa

We hosted a Memorial Day BBQ and it was great.  Friends were awesome and the weather was perfect.  My friend Lindsey brought this salsa and after one bite I was asking, "Who made this?".  It wasn't until she went to take her bowl home that I was glad to find out who made it so I could get the recipe.  It's super delicious.  

tomatillo avocado salsa (my friend Lindsey S.)
4-5 tomatillos
1 jalapeno, seeds emoved
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 avocado, seed and skin removed
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt

Put everything in a high powered blender and blend for a few minutes until pureed or desired consistency.  If you don't have a high powered blender, make sure to at least quarter the tomatillos, onion, avocado and jalapeno before adding it to your blender.  Keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Note:  1 smart point for 1/2 cup, whatever that means. :)

bloom where you're planted

I wasn't sure I wanted to go to Activity Day Recognition Night because I was tired (it has been a LONG school year) and my daughter didn't want to stand in front of everyone and explain in what way she had bloomed this year.  I'm glad we went because her leaders put so much time, effort and love into the activity.  I walked in and felt so happy.  The girls made the flowers the previous time they met and the cups of dirt were so cute it was almost enough to get me to want to eat one.  
I won't post a recipe because my family's favorite dirt recipe is already on this blog.  I wanted to post how cute this activity was in case I am ever serve in Activity Days again. :)
