So don't stop following me, I will have plenty of interesting pics to share when I get back! 😉 I also plan on trying lots of new food, I might possibly try to post a little while I am away so look out for that! But just in case, as a nice post before I leave I decided to do something a little crazy.. last night I went to work designing a recipe to use up my poor avocados before I have to leave. They will all go bad if I don't eat them so I have been overdoing it a little with avocado lately…lol. Anyways this delicious unique recipe is a perfect filling and healthy, high protein breakfast just in time for st.patties day, that you can have ready in minutes the night before! Want to know how to make it? Keep reading!
