Holiday Tips to Get in Done from Better Homes and Gardens: Set up a beverage station on a side table, or in a different room, so guests are not coming in and out of the busiest part of the kitchen to get drinks. (I have a separate great room with a very long counter and we always have the drinks out there, my kitchen is extremely small and there is no room for others to be coming in and out.)

We have made lots and lots of Guacamole recipes and this is "thee one". We will never ever need to try another Guacamole recipe. Ya, know the one. when you find that ONE perfect recipe, there is no more searching. This is another one of our favorite dips. My girls insist that we serve this at every gathering in our home and on the weekends too. If there is avocados in my refrigerator you can bet they are asking for this to be made (and now they have learned to make it themselves, that's how much they like it). This would be another great recipe to make for those hungry Thanksgiving guests. They can munch on this with chips or veggies while you are busy in the kitchen preparing the main Thanksgiving meal.

The Perfect Guacamole

4 Avocados

1/4 tsp Sea Salt

1 tsp Lime and/or Lemon Juice

1-2 Roma Tomatoes

Onion, chopped (as many or little as you'd like)

Jalapenos Chiles (we use very very little, but if you want spicy, add more)

1 tbsp Cilantro (fresh is better, but dried works too)

Slice avocados in half; scoop out the pit (and keep in the bowl), cut avocados in chunks and coarsely mash (do NOT mash until creamy). Season with coarse salt (go easy, use too much and it will overpower). Add in fresh lime or lemon. Mix in tomatoes (cherry or grape tomatoes work great too). Sprinkle in finely chopped onions, a few chopped jalapeno's and some finely chopped fresh cilantro.

The BEST Guacamole EVER!!!
