I love living in Northern USA! I love the four seasons and welcoming each season with joy. I enjoy basking in the sun and then sledding & skiing in fresh powder, all in my own backyard.
There are a few things that I don’t love about living in Pennsylvania though. Not being able to grow our own Avocados is one of those reasons. If I were to ever choose to move to a warmer climate – the ability to grow things like avocados and lemons/limes AND longer growing season for other things would be one of the main reasons for the move! Because I do not ever plan to move south, I will just have to deal with imported produce and snagging these yummy fruits & veggies when they are in season and on sale!
Whenever Avocados go on sale, it is motivation for us to have Mexican (not like we ever need much motivation to have Mexican Food).

I started to wonder though… which is “better” the Hass Avocado or the Florida Avocado!?!
The only way that I could think of to solve this dilemma was to do a good old fashioned side-by-side taste test! Continue reading

If you have been taking care of your Basil Plants this year, they should be doing really well at this point in the season. Pretty soon we are going to need to save every last one of those leaves from the dreaded frost and make something delicious out of the remaining bits of fresh basil (like a great pesto). For now though – we have lots of basil to keep us happy!
