Very Good 4.1/5

I made this guacamole to impress my future Latino/Italian in-laws. (It worked!) It's so easy to make, yet the tastes are complex and packs a fresh punch - whether or not you make it for a football party or for a party, this will disappear in minutes! Guacamole from stores and restaurants haven't tasted the same since!

Very Good 4.5/5

Great healthy option for a potluck. Without the olives it's completely fat free! You can add jalepenos for an extra kick. Add avacado or turkey chili to make it more filling for a meal (will add fat).

Ground turkey and pasta and cheese... So good it feels like cheating!

I make this for my husband and me--but I'm sure to put the other 4 servings into 1 serving sized Tupperware containers first (perfect for lunch the next day!).

What? Canned tomatoes in a tomato sauce? Yes, that's right. Garden tomatoes are only available for a short time, but crushed canned tomatoes are on shelves year-round and packed with flavor.
