Gatlinburg and Oh the Guacamole!

We had an amazing time in Gatlinburg with friends for the weekend! Took the kids iceskating for the first time, which was beyond adorable! They did great! Also, I LOVE iceskating with my sweet hubby! He is a blast! Fun fun times! Can't wait for next year to do it all again!

While in Gatlinburg, a friend's boyfriend made some yummy guacamole! Seriously I could bathe in it! All week long whenever I thought about the guacamole my mouth would water..I go nuts for avocados and cilantro! Put em' both together and I go crazy! Yummyyyyyy!!

Here is what it looked like before it was devoured by all!

Ingredients:

• 2 avocados
• 1 tomato
• half an onion
• 1 clove garlic, graded
• lemon/lime juice, fresh
• cilantro

Directions:

1. Run the tomato, cilantro and onion in food processor. 
2. Stir in remaining ingredients. 
3. Enjoy with crackers, tortilla chips, raw veggies, or bread.
