My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Weight Watchers Guacamole
I admit it... I hate Guacamole I would much rather have salsa on my plate. The only reason that I make it is because my husband loves it and likes to have some whenever I make Mexican food.
So on my quest of getting both my Husband and myself back to your "ideal weight" I decided that I would trying making him some homemade Guacamole. I hate buying processed foods or anything that has additives. I really try to avoid buying anything that could be made at home. My husband told me that this is the best guacamole he has ever had, therefore anytime I made Mexican food, I will always use this recipe to go with it. I hope you all enjoy!
Recipe from the Weight Watchers Cookbook.
