Guacamole and crackers

Spiced Up Crackers and Cheese

For our last week of ideas on making snacks into meals, I am sharing one of my favorite lunches. We love crackers and cheese for a quick and easy meal at our house. I often keep bricks of cheddar, pepper jack, and Swiss cheese in our refrigerator so we can cut them up for a meal when we do not feel like cooking or when we are running low on time.

Guacamole

Have you ever made homemade guacamole? I had not until I first made our July recipe of the month. I assumed I could not make it as well as a restaurant or the tubs of guacamole I bought from the store. I was both right and wrong. This recipe is certainly not as good as my favorite restaurant guacamole, but it is better than the tubs of guacamole from the store. The first time I made it, I liked it so much that I ate half of it for lunch one day and the other half the next day.
