Woman in Real Life

Everybody needs a go-to recipe to make simple, creamy, dreamy guacamole. This is mine. This guacamole is fast and easy to make and it takes just four ingredients (not counting salt and pepper). My kids love it. They actually fought over this very bowl of delicious, healthy guacamole pictured. Perhaps I should have doubled the quantity? This recipe makes enough for two to four people to enjoy as a snack, but I definitely suggesting doubling it up to serve at a gathering (or for hungry teens just getting home from school!). The recipe is naturally plant-based, vegan and gluten-free.

I've said it before - summer meals should be light and easy. Too often we get into a dinnertime rut around here. When we can't think what else to make, we inevitably go for pasta and tomato sauce. A classic standby, but it doesn't exactly scream summer. In fact, my son recently told me he can't stand pasta anymore. Let's not get crazy now kid - you're half Italian! There's always room for pasta.

For a more exciting summer meal that the kids always love, though, we go Mexican. I have often written about how much my kids enjoy Taco Tuesdays. The beauty of Taco Tuesdays is that you can put all sorts of foods out on the table and the whole family can dig in and take whatever they please.

Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
