Guacamole!

Guacamole is simple to make!

Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
diced tomato (optional)

Cut a seam around your avocado lengthwise, cutting to the pit that's in the middle. Grab the halves and give a twist so they come apart.

Pick the pit out.

Holding the avocado by the skin with the inside facing up, make cuts about 1/4" apart (or closer) in two directions. Then squeeze the soft part out of the peel by folding it in half. Add the lemon juice and mash it with a fork to the texture you like. Salt and pepper to taste. If using tomato stir it in now. This is great in salad, or with refried beans.

In fact, it was my dinner tonight - with the refried black beans. For lunch we had apples and peanut butter and the honey almond cookies, for breakfast I had a scrambled egg with cheese and a smoothie - legal yogurt, frozen raspberries, pineapple, and some orange juice to help it blend. No sugar crash today and we were out all day touring a college campus and some museums.
