Gluten Free Avocado Egg Rolls

It’s Guacamole Roll Time!

Okay, so not my best work on the puns, but these avocado egg rolls are off the chain!

Seriously, OFF the CHAIN! I am secretly singing that to myself as I take a bite into my last one that I have made from this batch.

Are you a lover of avocados? Well you are among a great friends here as avocado is my most favorite fruit that doesn’t go into a fruit salad ever! Yes, I had to say it. I only wish I could grow an avocado tree in my backyard, but since there is snow on the ground here yearly (about 5 inches) they will not thrive and house avocado trees do not bare fruit. I guess I will just have to move somewhere more tropical, darn… haha! …

Vegetable Egg Rolls

Hi you!

What a week it has been already!

I feel like I haven’t caught my breath yet from the weekend.

This past week a local school, Hickory Christian Academy, held their annual Christmas Show and Mattie’s packed up a few goodies and took them. We had so much fun talking to so many of our customers and meeting new ones as well. We were quite busy the whole day even at the store too. It was just so much fun. I love doing shows like that where everyone is in such a good mood and buying unique gifts for their family and friends. It is always fun to help pick it out too!

This week as we are getting ready for our Holidays with Mattie Tasting Event I have to take a step out of Christmas for a minute.

I know I know, shame on me, right?…

Happy Fall Y’all!

Today is officially the first day of Autumn and I don’t think I could be anymore happier! The nights are cooler, there is a crisp to the air and all my fall clothes are relevant again! I am more than excited to have the best season of the year starting even if I am still wearing flip flops! I love how happy it makes people with the weather being awesome and the leaves in the mountains are just perfection!

With Fall comes apple season! Apples are probably one of the best fruits you can eat! Why you ask? Well because they are pretty stinkin’ good if you ask me! I cannot wait to start canning them too so that we have enough for the whole year too. We have a whole bunch of apple festivals around us in the mountains and I cannot wait for them to come and I will drink my weight in apple slushies! …

Breakfast Egg Rolls

Hello!

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!! Yes I am still kinda young and I will take any excuse there is to have fun and feel young (26 By the way!). I have been looking through pictures today from birthdays past (like 1991 and 1992) and I am realizing that I was quite the cute toddler and I was always excited about it! I was also very obsessed with dalmatians. I mean a dalmatian cake complete with my dalmatian cup and plate oh and I can’t forget the outfit I had, a couture dalmatian dress ensemble complete with pink high heels probably from the designer brand at the local Target (I crack myself up from years ago!)

Yesterday I was canning all day and I literally mean ALL DAY! I still can’t get the smell of pickles out of my apartment! I had about 48 cups of sliced cucumbers to the can. So, trust me when I say I am done with pickles for awhile! At least I know that if I have nothing else this winter there will be pickles there! Also, if you’re on my Christmas list I can guarantee you that these will be in your present! (and probably 2 or 3 other canned products!)…
