Guacamole!

We have started working in our nutrition book for school.  Our first cooking lessons was on avocados. Of course that means we get to make guacamole!

Got all our ingredients ready.  I found this tip on using a coat hanger to hold a recipe so it doesn’t get ruined.  It works perfectly. 

So we have :

  • 4 Haas Avocado
  • onion
  • tomato
  • cilantro
  • lemon
  • garlic cloves
  • salt and pepper

Of course you also need someone to make the recipe. 

Anna decided her hair needed a net.  She is just too cute.

She refused to cut the onions because she feared burning eyes, so I took care of that.  Here she is cutting the cilantro.

She did a great job with the tomatoes.

The recipe called for the juice of one lemon. 

We didn’t have lemons so we improvised a bit.

Anna had fun trying to use this little garlic mincer. 

It’s not as easy as it looks.

Guacamole! 

Anna tasted it and did not like it at all.  I loved it and enjoyed it with beef in a taco shell for dinner.  Yum!  I give her points for trying though.
