Can you believe I used to not like guacamole? What was I thinking? Maybe it was the green color. Or that I hated tomatoes and onions. Man I was a weird child. It’s okay though, because now I looovvveee guacamole. And avocados. I could probably just eat an avocado as a snack, all by itself.

Over Memorial Day weekend, my sisters, cousins and I made some guacamole. It was gone so fast I had to make more when I got back to Madison. This recipe is so easy and so good I have a feeling I will be making it many many more times this summer.

If you have a few bruises on your avocado like I do you can easily cut those out. The avocado is still good as long as it’s not really brown and mushy or smell funny.
