The Handsome Husband and Monkey Boy are pretty excited about the Super Bowl this weekend, and I have a feeling I’ll be whipping up plenty of appetizers for them to munch on during the game.
If you don’t have a favorite guacamole recipe, this one is my favorite.
Ingredients
3 avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup diced onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
Mash the avocados together with lime juice. Then add the rest of the ingredients together and mix well. Chill for an hour or two and serve with chips.

I make my own too, but for a quick weeknight taco dinner, we simply mash (or use the foodprocessor) the avocados and add juice of half a lemon (or more depending on taste) plus a little bit of garlic seasalt (McCormick Grinders) and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or hot sauce, to taste).
A small teaspoon of fatfree sour cream is a nice add in so it streches a bit further too!
Thanks I usually just buy the seasoning packets, I sort of need the recipe.
A few months back I bought a box of Avacados from the farmers market (Only $5!!). They only had a few days on them but I can eat alot of the things in that amount of time. I ended up sharing with many of my relatives that live near by (I also looked up how to store the stuff… still have some).
Anyways it seemed a shame to throw out the pits… I sort of went to youtube and saw this video…

I now have 30 seedling Avacado trees heheh…
There is no cilantro!!! Oh no!
I know. Sadly the HH does not care for cilantro. Booooooo!
This Texas girl says you have to add finely chopped jalapenos and cilantro! Everything needs a little heat!
I agree.
I also add diced tomatoes to mine.
3 avocados
juice of a lime
diced red onion
diced tomato
1 habanero pepper
1/2 tsp salt
That is all.
Believe it or not I add cottage cheese if I make it for a crowd. I have never received a compliant and I have a family of food snobs! If you want to disguise it buzz it up in a food processor with 1/2 of your avocados. The rest can stay in chunks along with the rest of your ingredients. Trust me… no one will ever know!!
