Guacamole is a huge part of our family life. We eat it at least three times a week. I always make it fresh and it is pretty much always the same recipe. My kids scream out to me while they are playing and hungry; "Mama! Can you make me some mama's guacamole please. We are hungry!" And so it was given the name "mama's guacamole". After years of experimenting this recipe is just right.

ingredients

4 avocados, ripe + must be Haas

1 diced clove of fresh garlic

half of a lime, squeeze over your hand to lessen chances of getting seeds in

salt and pepper to taste, we like ours salty

1 small red onion, diced

1/10 of a jalapeno pepper, diced or more if you want more of a kick

1 big handful of pecan-halves (I smash them in a zip lock bag)

Peel ripe avocados and place in a mixing bowl and smash with a potato smasher. Add the remaining ingredients.
