The Very Very Best Guacamole

You may think I am exaggerating but Really really I'm not. This is the best guac EvEr! and it's really easy. My BFF, Kally taught me how to make this guacamole years ago. It's one of those recipes that is supposed to be a side dish but it's so friggin' good that I sometimes make it for dinner and then eat WaY too much. Oh- it's good.

Here's what you will need:
(This recipe is enough for a group of people but can be trimmed down if you are making it for yourself. Also,just make it how you like it- if you hate tomatoes, leave them out etc.)

5 ripe avocados
1-2 Roma tomatoes
1/4 of a large onion
1/2 c. shredded cheese
garlic salt
salt

Mash avocados with a fork (you can put them in a blender but I like it a little chunky so that's why I do i with a fork.)



Dice tomatoes and onion and add them in along with the cheese. Add garlic sat and salt to taste. Serve with tortilla chips.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

I got this recipe from my sister in law's sister Erin. I think it is best served warm with crackers, but Chad likes it on top of things like burritos and sandwhiches. Either way it's delicious. I halved the recipe for my family and it was plenty. (Sorry I don't have a picture.)
Here's what you will need:
1 bunch green onions
4 Tbsp Butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
10oz frozen spinach, thawed/drained
1 can (6oz-ish) artichoke hearts (not marinated), chopped
1 16oz container sour cream
1 8oz block cream cheese
16 oz cheese (I usually use Colby Jack)



Sautee onions and garlic in butter. Add spinach, hearts, sour cream and cream cheese. Mix in cheese until thoroughly melted.
