The Trendiest Avocado Techniques For California Avocado Month (NAPS)—Some trends never go out of style, and avocado toast is one that has defined the last decade. Kicking off the month of June, in celebration of California Avocado Month, the California Avocado Commission (CAC) has teamed up with award-winning chefs from California, Arizona and Colorado to predict the avocado trends that will leave a lasting impact—along with unique recipes everyone can recreate right at home for a memorable meal. California Avocado Month marks the peak of California avocado season, when the delicious fresh fruit will be at its highest availability. Energized by the versatility and dynamic flavors of California avocados, the chefs tapped into their individual expertise, regions and styles to predict the avocado trends that will have staying power: • Inside-out avocado toast—Chef Brad Cecchi of Canon in Sacramento • Cold smoked avocado—Chef Jordan Kahn of Vespertine in Los Angeles • Grilled avocados—Chef Caroline Glover of Annette in Denver • Combining balanced but contrasting flavor profiles—Chef Charleen Badman of FnB Restaurant in Scottsdale The talented group of chefs are introducing a new repertoire of avocado-focused dishes to those spending more time in the kitchen. For an unseen twist on an all-time favorite, Chef Brad Cecchi turns the avocado toast inside out. “Avocado toast will always be a staple dish, but we really wanted to showcase the shape and texture of the California avocado in its entirety, keeping both avocado halves perfectly intact and stuffing them with breadcrumbs and your favorite toppings,” said Cecchi. Based in Sacramento, Cecchi has a passion for Northern California growers and arti-
Instructions:
Deviled California Avocados sans, making California avocados a consistent pick for his seasonal fare. Looking beyond the June celebration, fresh California avocados can last for up to a month when preserved properly in the freezer. The fruit is a nutrition powerhouse and a delicious inclusion for any culinary creation, as California avocados are a heart-healthy superfood and provide nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and naturally good fats to one’s diet. Deviled California Avocados Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients: 2 slices sourdough bread 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided 2 cloves garlic, peeled 4 hardboiled eggs, de-shelled 2 Tbsp. parsley, chopped 2 Tbsp. chives, minced 1 lemon, zested and juiced 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided 1 tsp. coarse black pepper, divided 2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, peeled, seeded and halved 4 Tbsp. pepitas or pumpkin seeds, toasted and chopped 2 tsp. nutritional yeast 1 tsp. smoked paprika 10 leaves watercress or arugula
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and brush sourdough bread with 2 tsp. olive oil. 2. Once oven is heated, toast bread until crunchy, about 15 minutes. 3. While bread is still warm, rub 1 garlic clove on toasted bread and let cool. 4. Once cool, add toasted bread to a food processor or smash in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, to create breadcrumbs. Set aside until ready to assemble. 5. For egg salad, separate the hardboiled egg yolks from the hardboiled egg whites, and chop each coarsely. 6. In a large mixing bowl, add hardboiled egg yolks and whites, parsley, chives, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. of lemon zest, 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper and mix well. 7. Season avocado halves with 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice and remaining salt and pepper. 8. Divide the egg salad between each avocado half, filling them where the seed once was. 9. Top stuffed avocados by sprinkling with breadcrumbs, chopped pepitas, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and finish with leaves of watercress or arugula. **Large avocados are recommended for these recipes. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly. At-home chefs and California avocado fans can find these avocado trends, corresponding recipes, preservation tips and more at CaliforniaAvocado.com, and follow along on Facebook at Facebook.com/CaliforniaAvocados, and on Twitter and Instagram at @ca_avocados.

Clean Ducts And Save (NAPS)—If your home is like most, one of the biggest sources of energy consumption is the HVAC system, and that can be expensive. Fortunately, the U.S. Department of Energy reports, families can cut their energy bill by as much as 20% to 30% simply by doing proper equipment maintenance. Air duct cleaning, for instance. Understanding HVAC As air recirculates through the system, contaminants build up in the ductwork and other components.
Hunkered down while it’s cold outside? Clean air ducts improve your indoor air quality and can save money. Dirty HVAC systems work harder, use up to 30% more energy to heat or cool the home and are more likely to need replacing sooner. What To Do Replacing filters can help to maintain air ducts, however, filters can’t catch everything. Having your home’s air ducts properly cleaned helps your HVAC system run more efficiently by removing debris from mechanical components. The most effective way to clean the HVAC system is through source removal. This requires a professional contractor to place the system under negative pressure using a specialized, powerful vacuum. While the vacuum draws air through the system, brushes, air whips and compressed air nozzles remove any debris that might be stuck to interior surfaces. Contacting A Contractor To be sure you’re getting a qualified contractor so the job is done right, use one who is certified by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). That organization offers a handy Homeowner’s Guide to Air Duct Cleaning with helpful tips for finding reputable contractors and an online directory to find a nearby NADCA member with advanced training and certification in HVAC system cleaning, at www. NADCA.com.

MY SHELTER PETS ARE MY BEST FRIENDS

RAISE THEM TO BECOME GREAT ADULTS Dear Dave, Why do you seem to put so much emphasis on teaching young children about money? Isn’t there time for that later when they’re older? Cyndi Dear Cyndi, I firmly believe that one of the best ways you can make sure your kids are ready to face adulthood when the time comes is to teach them how to handle money at an early age. The reason? Learning about money, and how to manage it in a wise, mature fashion, is about a lot more than just dollars and cents. There’s a quote from author Andy Andrews I really love. He says, “The goal is not to raise great kids. It’s to raise kids who become great adults.” If you think about it, there’s a subtle but powerful distinction here. Kids might behave well out of a sense of obedience or even fear, but that doesn’t mean they’ll do what’s best for them once they’re on their own. To raise kids who later become great adults, you have to begin instilling good character traits in them at an early age. Work equals money. When you teach kids
to work, you’re teaching them responsibility. Whether it’s chores around the house or a job at the mall, work involves accountability and following through on tasks. Work shows kids they are in control of their actions, and that they will reap the rewards or consequences of those actions. Teaching kids to save teaches them patience. Today’s world is one of instant gratification, and saving money makes you slow down and think. It also shows kids they can’t have every little thing they want the moment they want it. When you teach kids to give, you’re teaching them generosity. A willingness and desire to give doesn’t always come natural to us when we’re young. Parents should encourage and model the act of giving, because generosity is a wonderful character trait and a powerful weapon in the fight against selfishness and greed. Finally, teaching kids to spend responsibly is a great way to teach wisdom. All kids totally get the idea that spending money is fun. That’s a no brainer. But when you get involved in teaching spending as
something that should be thought through and done with care and reason, you’re imparting the idea of using good judgment and thoughtfulness before taking action. I hope this helps, Cyndi! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is a seven-time #1 national best-selling author, personal finance expert, and host of The Ramsey Show, heard by more than 16 million listeners each week.

(NAPSI)—The video game industry has a Texas-sized effect on the Lone Star State’s economy. A new study by Entertainment Software Association (ESA), shows the video game industry in Texas generates $4.15 billion in annual economic output, either through direct industry output ($1.8 billion) or via other participants in the video game ecosystem, such as suppliers and other supported output ($2.4 billion). What’s more, the industry accounts for about 25,000 jobs in the state, either directly through industry jobs (about 9,800) or through supplier and other supported jobs (about 15,200). Overall, the U.S. video game industry’s annual economic output is $90.3 billion and accounts for nearly 429,000 jobs. These are among several key findings from “Video Games in the 21st Century: The 2020 Economic Impact Report,” a review of the industry and its wide-ranging impacts released by the
Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The report outlines ongoing advancements in technology and vast participation in gameplay that transcends all demographics (in fact, one in three citizens of the world play video games). Video games are vital in numerous other aspects of Texas life. Americans across age, gender and other demographic measures find many positive benefits to video games. For instance: •More than 214 million Americans play video games •64% of U.S. adults and 70% percent of those under 18 regularly play video games •The average age of a gamer is 35-44 years old.
Further, the report outlines video games’ effect in developing innovative, far-reaching technologies, such as virtual reality, advanced computing and machine learning. “Video games are a source of much-needed entertainment, stress relief, escape and social interaction,” ESA President and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis pointed out. “The statistics in this detailed report reinforce the significant impact video games have on the U.S. and state economies, including job creation and providing family-sustaining wages in a wide array of careers.” Learn More For further facts and stats and to see the entire report, visit www.theesa. com.
