Yummy Quacamole (By Lynne Adams)


There is not an exact recipe, just make it taste good.
4 to 6 ripe avocados mashed
1/2 to 3/4 cup white onion chopped
1/4 to 1/2 cup tomato chopped
2 or 3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 or 2 cloves of garlic pressed
1/4 teaspoon Cumin
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 finely chopped or purred Serrano pepper
Salt to taste
Mix it all together. Avocados are mild and take on whatever flavor you add so keep adding salt and lemon juice till the flavor is just right.

Recipe Exchange Recipes

So I thought it would be a little easier for everyone to access the recipes from our recipe exchanges if we put them all on a blog. I always loose the papers. This way everyone always knows where to find it any time any place. If you have any questions about the blog etc. please contact me.
