Essential Guacamole

This is such an easy recipe and so yummy that the entire family will gobble it up — I know mine does!  Beware, I am one of those cooks that often seasons by taste and this is one of those cases.  This is such a basic recipe and is good anytime you’re serving Mexican food.  It’s also a yummy, yet healthy snack.  This is the perfect compliment to your favorite Mexican dinner.

We are mostly grain free here, but we do allow small bits of gluten free foods.  We have really missed our tortilla chips though.  We’ve been using rice crackers to eat this with and it’s a pretty good substitute.    We eat so much Mexican food that we’ve become accustomed to serving it with queso, salsa, and guacamole.  It’s one of the ways that we spread the more expensive grass-fed ground beef that we try to use.  But, since we’ve been mostly grain free, we hadn’t been making those items because we were accustomed to eating them with chips.  The rice crackers really do work pretty well, as they are crisp, more like chips than crackers.

This guacamole has a very special ingredient…doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil!  I have to say this was a wonderful addition to my family’s favorite guacamole.  Normally, I would put in lime  juice in this guacamole, but I didn’t have the limes, nor did I have lemon juice.  I remembered that I had the Lemon Essential oil and decided to give that a try and I have to say that this was the BEST batch of guacamole I’ve ever made.  The essential oil made a HUGE difference in the taste.  I had made really big batch of guacamole and we ended up eating it for lunch, along with some strawberries and grapes.  My youngest, who wasn’t a fan of guacamole, ate it like it was going out of style and asked me to fix it again sometime this week for lunch.
