Easy Homemade Guacamole

June 10, 2015 By Susannah Leave a Comment

Easy Guacamole you can make in a jiffy all summer long // My Cooking Spot

Susannah from Feast + West here with another summer appetizer. It’s just not summer without a few chip-and-dip recipes, if you ask me. Chips, salsa and guac are the quintessential party foods at every summer get-together.

It’s taken me a long time, but I have finally mastered my easy guacamole recipe. It’s quick and only requires a few ingredients, though it’s a good idea to plan ahead when you make guacamole. The key is ripe avocados — they mash the best and give the most flavor — so you’ll need to buy them in advance. (Hint: I always use two forks to mash the avocados into a mostly smooth consistency with a few chunks remaining.)

A delicious make-ahead salad that’ll make you excited about eating summer veggies

Green Bean Salad

Happy Summer!

Ok so I know it’s not officially summer, but summer starts Memorial Day in my opinion and that makes me oh so very happy.

Among many things {think outdoor activities involving water}, all the fresh fruits and veggies are my favorite things about summer.

I have a tendency to follow trends in my veggie-loving ways. In the winter, I make soups on soups on soups. You’ll never hear “no soup for you” in my kitchen.

This fruit skewer is juicy, tart, creamy, and spicy all in one bite. They disappeared first at the party!

Hi there! Stephanie here. This is my first contribution to My Cooking Spot, and I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I grew up in Texas and really, really love Mexican food. I grew up cooking with my friends’ abuelitas, and really can’t get enough of the nuanced style of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking.

Spinach and Apple Slaw

spinach apple slaw salad

Natasha here! If you follow my blog at all, you know that I love eating seasonally. It’s something I have been growing in the more I learn about food. It’s hard to tell what’s in season when shopping at the local grocery stores, so I like to do a little internet research to find out or pop by our Saturday Farmer’s Market in town to see what’s out!
