My grandmother and I created this homemade granola recipe one day, and it is currently loved and requested by the rest of my family, including my other grandma who used to be anti-granola! My favorite ways to serve it are in coconut Greek yogurt or just in a bowl with milk. Simple and awesome.

GUACAMOLE

Guacamole image

This is one of our favorite spicy snack food recipes, and it's quick and easy to prepare when friends drop by on short notice. It also makes a great side dish for a complete southwestern-style meal. Mild or sweet peppers can be substituted for the chiles for those who like their guacamole a little less spicy. -Anne Tipps, Duncanville, Texas

Tips:

Use ripe avocados: The riper the avocados, the creamier and more flavorful your guacamole will be.
Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are a good choice for guacamole because they are less watery than other types of tomatoes.
Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the guacamole to have a smooth, creamy texture.
Season to taste: Guacamole should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
Serve immediately: Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It is a popular appetizer at parties and gatherings, and it can also be used as a topping for tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of guacamole that will be enjoyed by everyone.
