Cinco De Mayo Guacamole

Author: Erika

Happy Cinco Day Mayo!

In honor of this holiday, I got chicken enchiladas for lunch. I know that other colleagues celebrated with their usual Taco Tuesday meal (luckily it landed on the same day).

But, my favorite thing to eat on this holiday is guacamole. I love avocados! The best part about guacomole is that you can really personalize it to fit your taste buds.

I take a few avocados and chop them up. I then mix in some fresh lime juice, salt and pepper. You can also add spices to give it a kick. I smash everything together for this healthy and delectable snack! It is an easy way to celebrate the holiday and eat some fresh and healthy food!

What are your favorite meals to eat on Cinco De Mayo? How do you celebrate this holiday? Fill us in!

Easter Cute Overload

Author: Erika

Easter is a great time for photo opportunities. With bunnies, chicks and Easter egg hunts, there is a plethora of cute shots to be taken. Also, I love the blog CuteOverload.com. It is pretty ridiculous, but the pictures always make me say “awwwwwwwwww.” Check out these Easter pictures that I found there:

Check out the Top 100 April Fool’s Hoaxes of All Time to see the craziest pranks that have been pulled on this holiday.

AprilFools.com has some funny pranks as well.

One of my favorites is the prank that Google played on it’s many users two years ago. I wonder if they have anything up their sleeve this year.
