Big Kid Guacamole

April 15, 2010

We’ve been having a lot of fun doing impromptu polls on the weelicious Facebook page. The other day I asked the question "do your kids like avocados?" and overwhelming number people responded. Not only did most parents say that their kids like avocado, they said they love them! Avocados are heavenly -- creamy, smooth and delicious -- but did you know they're actually a fruit (for years I thought they were a vegetable)?

A few years ago I did a recipe for Guacamol-wee, which was designed to be an introduction for babies to this tasty dip. This Big Kid Guacamole is the next step up -- for a kid that really loves the stuff! Whether you're making Black Bean Cakes, Nachos, Fish Tacos or any other Mexican-inspired weelicious recipe, this guacamole will add an extra dimension of flavor and nutrition and your kids will love it!

    I do accept as true with all the concepts you have introduced on your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices. Could you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

    Just made this to bring to a friend’s place tonight for a kid and adult friendly snack… only took 10 minutes and tasted delicious from what I sampled!

    Some lenders will give mortgages on inexpensive properties under $50,000. Lenders working on commission generally will not offer them, it is too much paperwork for them. But a lender paid hourly may do this. The terms depend on the lender.
