I'm sure you're all wondering where the heck I have been lately! Well, busy, and not busy at the same time. We have now lived in Pensacola for 7 months, crazy! Time has flown by and it has been much more enjoyable than the craziness that entailed in Virginia. I can tell you now that…
Guacamole. Is there anyone that seriously doesn't love guacamole? Because I do. I literally make guacamole like 3 times a week! So here is my own recipe of Guacamole. **Note: I don't actually take specific measurements, I just throw it in there till it looks and tastes good** Ingredients 4-5 Ripe Avocados (or as many…
