Girlie squeal! The holidays have begun. Yes, in September. It’s National Guacamole Day. A day that only by adding margaritas and al fresco dining will make it the perfect day.
I’ve got the perfect recipe where you can make guacamole at home. It’s something I’ll make when I see that lonely avocado or two in my produce bin because it just takes some ingredients you likely have on hand along with fresh lime. (Editor’s note: always keep limes and garlic around.)
Recipe: Guacamole

Ingredients
- 3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
