Doin' Some Cookin'... Kale Guacamole

Little Man loves avocados and really enjoys them in guacamole. I'm all for sneaking veggies into his diet as much as I can and by sneak I mean I'll tell him what's in the food he's eating once he states he likes it. If he turns his nose up to it, I won't tell him what he just ate.

This is the first time I've ever heard about mixing kale into guacamole. I wasn't sure what to expect but chopping the kale finely is the key so it blends well with the avocado. I prefer my guacamole chunky so I smashed it with a spoon rather than running it through the food processor.

We both agreed that this is our new go to recipe. You won't even notice the kale, Little Man didn't, and I was able to sneak a superfood into his diet along with the superfood powers of avocados.

Probably should rename this recipe GuaKALEmole.
