School has started and the weather is definitely feeling more like the Autumn Bliss so why not make some Golden Gazpacho with Avocado?! This fresh, tangy, yellow-tomato gazpacho comes together quickly in the blender. A jalapeño adds subtle heat. I found this recipe on KitchenDaily.com and once I saw it, I immediately thought it was the perfect meal to start off the school year and introduce the changing of seasons from Summer to Fall.
