In my experience, there are two types of eaters. Those who enjoy eating full meals at reasonable times of day and those who prefer to graze. Grazers will take a nibble here, a taste there, hardly going through the day with a proper meal. Grazers need to have many and constant snacks on hand that are easy to grab when needed.

I fall into the latter category.

This means that my fridge is always packed with homemade goodies and treats that I can grab, snack on and then place back into the fridge for later. Tortilla chips are one of my favourite go-to snacks and what better way to have them than serves with a delicious side of guacamole?
