Guacamole (make-ahead and freezer friendly)

 I have always been one to experiment and see what can be made ahead, especially frozen.  Years ago I remember walking through the freezer section of a grocery store and seeing all of the frozen foods.  The variety was immense and I decided to work on seeing what I could make that could be frozen, even if the recipe didn't specify it was a freezer-friendly meal.  With this guacamole recipe, it was the same thing.  I had this great guacamole recipe that I have used for years.  But I'm the only one in my family who eats avocados, and I like to buy in bulk, so when they all get ripe at the same time, it means I have a lot of avocados to eat (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and I don't want to waste food.  I am happy to report that freezing this guacamole and then thawing in the fridge worked beautifully.  Whether you are making this for yourself or for company, this is a great freezer appetizer to have on hand.

 Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
2 Tb. lemon
 
 This is such an easy recipe:  Combine all ingredients and mash or use a food processor.

 This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, depending on how many avocados you have
 
 I divided one recipe into individual portions, using freezer bags; then I froze them.

It thawed well and was delicious
