Avocado Cheddar Quesadillas

Now that summer is coming up, I am in the mood for eating summer fruits and berries and other delicious vegetables in season. The farmer's market has begun selling avocados, and I wanted to try out a new mini-recipe.
Whenever I'm hungry for a little snack, a tortilla heated and slightly toasted over the stove and sprinkled with some grated cheddar cheese always just hits the spot. I tried slicing a bit of avocado over the shredded cheddar and jalapeño cheddar cheese while on the stove, making for a delightfully creamy melted quesadilla.
Looking forward to more tasty summer recipes.

DIY Worm Piñata

For a compost club I'm part of, I was assigned to come up with a fun activity for the week. I made a piñata shaped like a worm by using old cardboard food boxes, cutting them into the shape of a worm, and covering them with fringed red crepe paper.




I filled the piñata with a bunch of composty puns.


With some extra crepe paper, we made flowers for Cinco de Mayo.
