Recipe of the Week: Easy Guacamole

It's the most wonderful time of the year! OK, maybe the second most wonderful... it's time for "the big game." While it doesn't technically qualify as a holiday, it sure feels like one with all the friends, family and FOOD! Even if your team isn't vying for the title (sniff, sniff) that's no reason not to enjoy yourself.

This week we've got a great recipe to help you do just that, zesty guacamole*  - easy, delicious and always a crowd pleaser. And to our local friends - just try to ignore the fact that it's green... sigh.
