Guacamole During Summer School

While visiting my sister this summer, my children tasted fresh homemade guacamole; and fell in love. We have never had fresh guacamole before -- it is so very different! My sister made it in honor of the Columbian children who will soon call her Mom. We cannot wait for our new cousins (nieces and nephews) to arrive. We are also learning some Spanish in their honor. We don't even know how many yet; but we are already praying. How very special this time of anticipation is. My children ask almost every week if our new cousins are here yet!

We made it again tonight, for the upteenth time. It is very easy for children to help with this recipe. My oldest mashed the avocado with a pastry blender, my next squeezed the lime, and my four year old stirred up the ingredients. My youngest just ate it with relish.

If you have eaten restaurant guacamole and thought it bland and unintereting; you have got to give this a try! I thought I would share with you the recipe as we have adapted it. We increased the lime juice, as my sister made this "mistake" and we actually liked it! We decreased the onion a bit, and we don't really measure the onions or tomatoes. I just grab a handful of each.   It is very easy to adapt this recipe...

INGREDIENTS

2 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
3/4 teaspoon salt
handful diced onion
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Refrigerate 1 hour for best flavor, or serve immediately.

Enjoy!

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
