AWESOME GUACAMOLE!!!!

3 avocados, mashed or chunked (depending on the texture you like)
1 lime, juiced
1 t. salt
1/3 cup small diced onion
3 T. chopped fresh cilantro (personally, I put ALOT more than this!) =)
1 tomatoe, small diced
1 t. minced garlic
a pinch of your favorite pepper if you like heat

In a bowl, mix together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic.This is the point where you add the optional pepper. I reccomend chilling for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can mingle for a little a little while, but you can serve immediatly!
Enjoy!

CLOSING FACEBOOK

BARE WITH ME WHILE I MOVE THE STUFF FROM FB OVER HERE.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE FB, AND I HAVE HAD MOVE PEOPLE APPROACHING ME TO MAINTAIN A BLOG.
So, in light of the fact that I wear so many hats: mom, wife, teacher, business owner, chauffeur, house keep, chief bottle cleaner and general crazy person, I am down-sizing to one media output of my ramblings.
I have chosen this blog to carry the cross, so it will have duplicates from the FB page for the next couple entries.
This kinda my New Years Resolution to get my organized.
So here goes nothing!
Happy New Year,
Laura
