Avocado Fries. Oh dear. I never should have done this. This may be one of my biggest mistakes all year. Can’t take it back now. So we’re totally enjoying our grilled avocados, but my husband innocently asks “What else can you do with avocados?” And so my daughter tweets this recipe, and I'm laying all the blame on them.

I don’t have children yet, but, as a former elementary school teacher, back to school time holds a special place in my heart. I always loved getting myself organized for a new school year, and getting my classroom set-up. And just like the kids, it meant time for an updated wardrobe for the new school year (I always love an excuse to buy new clothes!!). When I was at Target last week and saw their back-to-school section chock full of kiddies and parents picking out school supplies, I immediately started thinking about new ideas for some after school snacks that children would love!

Cheesy, oozy guacamole bean dip - The Kind Life - StumbleUpon. I first had this at a party about 10 years ago. That recipe was my inspiration for this healthier version.
