Homemade Guacamole and Salsa Verde
Hi everyone! It's Nicole, Annette's web manager and friend. It has been so incredibly hot in Atlanta recently (or if it's not hot, it's raining and therefore, humid). I've been sticking to recipes that keep the oven off and the house cool. I've been deep in Annette's archives looking for inspiration, and I found these recipes for guacamole and salsa verde. Tacos and fajitas are a quick meal that I can usually convince my husband to prepare on the grill. I love the idea of adding homemade salsa and guac to make the meal extra special.
Find the recipes for both below!
