Hello Recipe Club,

Thanks to our friends at Sunkist for their contribution to this week's Recipe Club. Their site is very informative and they even have some great recipes for kids. There is a great recipe for guacamole in today's offerings. It's a good one.

Next week I'll have a batch of recipes using fresh herbs from your garden. We'll feature a different herb each day. Rosemary, Oregano, Tarragon, Dill and Basil.

Have a great weekend.
