My husband and I challenged ourselves to just eating seafood for 2 weeks. Meaning no meat of any kind. I make my potato skins with bacon, therefore, I decided to make appetizer cajun shrimp potato skins since bacon was not an option this time.

It’s the end of the school year and you are thinking of what to get for your child’s teacher. I remember the preschool years there was no room parent and I would buy for all teachers that worked with my children. Now that they are in elementary school it is custom for the assigned room parent to ask for $5-10 dollars (you can ask for $10-20) donation to get a class gift. Some parents send in a little more. This year I am the room parent for my older son’s class and I did just that. Not everyone can donate and so the gift is from all the students, regardless of who donated. My son’s class has an assistant teacher and a paraprofessional that help out in class. Therefore, I collected for all 3 teachers. Here are some end of the year class teacher gift ideas.

However, this morning I really wanted avocado dressing for breakfast. It only takes 5 minutes to make and my avocados were already ripe. Why not! Avocados are especially great to have when you want a filling meal. Many times I have eggs and avocado for breakfast with fruit. I don’t care to have toast with eggs most of the time.
