Easy & Delicious Guacamole – Yum!

January 23, 2014

I don’t know what is with me, but I often crave good fresh guacamole.  We have tons of Tex Mex restaurants here in Texas that offer fresh table side guacamole.  It’s good, but one of my favorites is actually from Chipotle.  I decided to try to make some fresh guacamole at home.  I went on YouTube and watched a few videos so that I’d know what ingredients to buy at the grocery store.  It was so easy to make that I actually made it again the next night.  However I changed up my recipe by adding and deleting ingredients.

The beauty of guacamole is that there’s no right or wrong way to make it.  You can add or delete ingredients that your taste buds prefer.  Below is a basic recipe that I saw on Youtube.  I don’t like things very spicy so I eliminated all hot peppers.  Basically, you just mash the avocado then mix in all other ingredients.

Mash avocado in a bowl

Add other ingredients to the bowl

Squeeze in lime juice to preserve the color and freshness

First batch of guacamole

Second night’s batch of guacamole
My homemade guacamole was SO good!  I preferred it better the second time I made it with the addition of corn and black beans and the omission of the red onions.  You can make it with whatever add ins you prefer.  I had this for dinner 3 nights last week when my family was traveling and I could get away with calling this dinner.  LOL!  I’m sure this will be occurring more often now that I know how quick and simple it is to make at home.

    I could probably eat guacamole every day. I’ve never put corn in mine, but my daughter (2 years old) is obsessed with corn and it might be a good way to get her to eat it! Happy SITS day

I’m closing out 2025 and ringing in the new year b I’m closing out 2025 and ringing in the new year by sharing an easy way to make your wardrobe go farther for you. Choose your pieces wisely! Get items that can be worn together but can also be paired with other items you already own.

1️⃣These pull on black pants work dressed up or down. 

2️⃣ I love this gorgeous white button down because I can wear it with literally anything in my closet, from jeans to dressy. The sleeve details are beautiful and unique.

3️⃣ This bright red peplum jacket is great for layering to elevate the look. Look for that special 3rd piece that you know you’ll wear often.

4️⃣ Fabulous accessories are a must!

➡️ Let me know if you want sizing details with links.😎

Here’s an easy way to help the environment. Use reusable bags when grocery shopping. These are a large size and fold flat when not in use. They’re extra sturdy for holding lots of items and they keep your groceries in place in your trunk, even when you make sharp turns. You know what I’m talking about!😅

Just keep them in your car so you always have them when you need them. Available in a few colors and patterns. 3 of these bags hold the same as 10 plastic bags.👏

Let’s all do better in the new year.🥰

If you’re looking for a simple haircare routine th If you’re looking for a simple haircare routine that helps keep your hair hydrated and healthy looking, then I’ve got you. #AussiePartner 

I use the @aussiehaircare Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner Set and then follow with the 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner with avocado oil. This helps to detangle my hair for easier styling.

I definitely push the limits by getting my hair colored every month to cover grays and even though I use multiple heat styling tools these products help to keep my hair soft, smooth and visibly hydrated. 

It’s lightweight, smells great with a citrus and floral scent and doesn’t weigh my hair down.
