My Guacamole Recipe

I generally don’t measure the ingredients but I think this is pretty close.

Ingredients:
3 avocados
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
3 green onions finely chopped
1 Roma tomato (seeds and pulp removed), finely chopped
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 – 1 Tbsp lime juice
Several twists of crushed black pepper corns.

Optional:
Fresh or pickled jalapenos or crushed red pepper flakes to taste.

Directions:
Slice the avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop the meat in to a mixing bowl.
Add all other ingredients and mix well.

A pastry cutter works great for mashing the avocados.

Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookies

We had these at Christmas and noe one was too excited about them.
Pictured above, ours don’t look nearly as nice as those in the recipe.
The recipe is not vegan but can be substituting the butter with a vegetable based spread, the egg with a flax seed egg and non buttered natural microwave popcorn.
