Mother's Day in the kitchen

My little sister just got home from college yesterday.  Hannah goes to a college located in the mountains of North Carolina.  She loves it there, but it's a long way away from south central PA.  It worked out great that Hannah could be home for mother's day this year.  We bought our mom and new stereo for her gift; her old one was on it's last leg.  Our mom isn't really into "things."  She likes experiences more than material things.  So we decided to spend the day in the kitchen together.  We made a whole bunch of stuff, but I would like to share one of our favorites: fresh guacamole.  

Ingredients:

2 avocados 

1 tomato, diced 

juice of 1 lime

green onions, thinly sliced 

cilantro, chopped

salt, to taste 

Start Cooking:

1.  Cut the avocados out of their skin and place in a medium bowl.  

2. Use a fork to mash up the avocado.  You can make it smooth or chunky, it's up to you. 

3.  Mix in the rest of the ingredients.  It's really up to you how much green onions and cilantro you want to add.  I suggest starting with a little bit, tasting, then adding more if needed.  

finished guacamole! 

Tips and Hints:

1.  Store in the fridge, in an air tight container.  Guacamole will last a few days this way, if you don't eat it all first. 

2.  Serve with corn chips, nachos, tacos...  

Enjoy!
