The Best Guacamole

Fridays are tough in our house.  Both kids are exhausted from the school week and Peter and I are ready for the weekend.  Because of this, we usually opt to stay in for the night. To make Friday’s a bit more special, I have started creating a “Happy Hour” for Peter and I when he gets home from work.  I put out a yummy snack that we enjoy with a cocktail and it sets the tone for a relaxed, amazing weekend together.

Peter and I have enjoyed these so much and I have loved trying different themes or treats each week.  These have just been so fun for us that I thought sharing our Friday Happy Hour would be a great new series.  In turn, I am hoping you can share some of your favorite nibbles or happy hour ideas for us to try!

Last week I made one of our favorite snacks.  As a full-blown avocado toast addict, we always have multiple avocados on hand.  I knew that we had a busy weekend ahead so I wanted to use those to make my favorite guacamole.  This guacamole is so easy and usually, we have most of the ingredients on hand.  I also prefer a chunkier guac so for me, not over-mashing is key.  If it is not tomato season, I highly recommend using cherry tomatoes.  They contain much less juice and they will not make your guacamole watery.  If tomatoes are in season, definitely go for a delicious tomato and just make sure to remove the seeds and juices before mixing in.

What are some of your favorite Happy Hour treats?
