nachos with guacamole & yogurt

This is a family favorite of ours and usually appears on a saturday movie night. As a mum I love to create special memories for our family and one of my boys favorite things to do is to have a movie night. At ages 2 , 4 and 5 you can imagine the mess that eating of the couch creates but to me it's worth it, because it's these moments my boys are going to remember. Nachos are normally followed by salted caramel popcorn (see recipe here) on our movie night. This recipe comes from quirky cooking (see website here). It has just been slightly adjusted to our taste and had a few additions. Thank you Jo, I love your recipes!
