Hi friends! I hope everyone had a fabulous start to the week.  I’m feeling much better since snapping out of a little funk I was in last week.

Maybe I should add this recipe to one of the ways to instantly boost your mood!  This guacamole was delicious and we may or may not have scoffed the entire bowl down in one short sitting.

This was somehow the first time I’ve ever made guacamole!  My best friend and roommate of seven years makes the best guacamole in the world so I pretty much always left it to her.  Andy and I thought it would be a great little date night appetizer though so I decided to give it a whirl.

This recipe is super simple. One because Mr. Picky doesn’t like tomatoes or onions and two because if I can make a dish without chopping anything I’m sold.

Bacon Guacamole

2 Ripe Haas Avocados
3 pieces Bacon
1 lime
1 green onion stalk
Salt and Pepper to taste

Cook your bacon in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.  While the bacon is cooking cut open your avocados, remove the pits, and add the insides of them into a bowl (it will be easier if they are diced).  Use a fork to start mashing the avocado.  Add in the juice of one lime and continue to mash.  Add your green onion and salt and pepper to the bowl.  When your bacon is done cooking cut it up into small pieces and mix in to the guacamole.  Done! Enjoy with almond crackers, quinoa chips, or whatever your little heart desires.

Pardon the picture.  Maybe I should stop being lazy when photographing my food, get out the real camera, and transfer into a clean dish.  Oh well I was too excited to wait!
