Guacamole! Yum!

I have a friend that makes this for potlucks. She serves it with flour tortillas and cheese. It is delicious.

My boyfriend does CrossFit and he loves it. He loves the super-intense nature of the workouts, and he really enjoys challenging himself. From his description, it is a terrific program. I encourage you to give it a try.
