Guacamole

This recipes makes Guac for roughly two people with a little extra. Since it’s usually my boyfriend and I, I try to make what we’re actually going to eat as to not waste any food. If I’m having friends over, I usually double or triple it depending on how many people I’m having. It’s so easy to make and such a great snack to have in the fridge. Who doesn’t love some guac in their life! Be sure to tag me if you try this recipe, I’d love to see what you guys come up with. #cookitkelly_ @cookitkelly_
