Guacamole is always a favourite around here. Give me a big bag of crispy, crunchy tortilla chips (even better if they’re homemade!) and a bowl of guacamole, and I’ll call it dinner. Guacamole, like so many other things in life, is way better when you make it at home. Forget about that weird, bright-green, goopy stuff you see in plastic tubs at the store. That's just masquerading as guacamole. Make the real thing — you won’t regret it.
It is as simple as mashing up some avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper. I like to add in a bunch of herbs for an extra bit of deliciousness.

Note: If you’re adverse to spice but want a little bit in there, just de-seed your peppers. The membranes (white parts) and seeds are the parts of a pepper that are spiciest.
