Confession: it has only been within the last year in which I’ve learned I like guacamole. Always when ordering Mexican, it has been “Sin crema y no guacamole, por favor.” Sometime last summer, Chris had a craving for it, bought some avocadoes, a packet of seasoning mix and mixed it all up. It smelled so good that I tentatively dipped, just barely, a bit of a chip into it. And I was sold. The seasoning mix we buy is a spicy mix, but the other day, we were out and the avocadoes were already halved and ready to go so I mixed in the following.

Ingredients:

• 2 avocadoes, pitted and scraped
• 2-3 tbsp. finely chopped red onion
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
• 1 jalapeno, deseeded & chopped
• juice of 1/2 a lime
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• salt, for taste

Preparation:

In a small bowl, mash together the avocadoes and mix in the above ingredients.
