I've been waiting for someone to do a swap with this kind of theme. The perfect theme for me and my avocados! Besides all the avo cookbooks and avo doo-dads I have in my collection, I also have several avocado fabrics that have been calling out to me every time I dig into my fabric stash......
How's this for a FIESTA apron??? I made it entirely from things I already had on hand.
I'm really pleased with the way it turned out! This just might be in my top 10 favorite aprons that I've created! I embellished a kitchen towel to match.(did you know you can make ruffles out of grosgrain ribbon? Look how cute it looks)
The Fiesta swap package is also to include a fiesta-themed item of my choosing and at least one fiesta-themed recipe......WELL, what's more fiesta-ish than a big bowl of guacamole? Of course I'm sending along a big pile of avocados and an avo slicer.
Our family has so many much-loved Mexican food recipes that I couldn't choose just one, so I made up a mini cookbook with 25 of our favorites.
These are a few I included:
AVOCADO SALSA
SALSA VERDE
TEX-MEX EGG ROLLS
BROWN SUGAR CINNAMON ICE CREAM
CHICKEN SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS
MEXICAN LASAGNA
MARINATED FLANK STEAK WITH LIME-CHIPOTLE GLAZE
CHILE VERDE
MEXICAN TURKEY MEATLOAF
BLACK BEAN AND SALSA SOUP
This package will be on its way on Monday to my partner in Texas...I sure hope she likes avocados!
I lOVE THIS SWAP! and I haven't even received my package yet!!
Thank you Val from Yarni Gras for hosting such a great theme!

I didn't know a thing like an avocado slicer existed... That is nifty! I know if I were receiving that I'd be thrilled to have ruffles and tex-mex recipies... And avocados! I LOVE guacamole.
Oh cool! They're gonna love it for sure. Now that you mention Fiesta, that's next month. It's cool to see but the weather in the middle of the day just kills me. And that's when the parades and stuff are going on... Lots of sunblock then. lol.
Hugs,

omgosh! WHAT A GORGEOUS APRON!
I love avocados...that fabric ROCKS! Where did you find it? And all those recipes....I thought I did a good job sending 4, but you blew me outta the water!
OLE'
Oh my! I want that apron. :o) Reminds me of that one I made for you with the red ruffle. I love sassy fiesta aprons!
Wow, your apron creation is beautiful. I can't wait to see what my partner made for me.
Dang, that is so CUTE!!! Hope it's heading to Oregon!
