GUACAMOLE - HERE!

Mine's always different, depending on what's in the fridge - but I love chunking it up with finely diced tomatoes, peppers, garlic and onion - to a base of avocado with lime - oil rarely - cilantro usually - a dash of pepper or salt if you feel like it...well, you get the picture...Oh, and if you make it ahead and want it to stay green (and not turn brown) save the pit and put it in the bowl. Mother nature's magic!

That's exactly how I make my guacamole.

My recipe that I *love* but is practically pure avocado (high calories) is:

1 avocado, 2 shakes of Tabasco, 1 minced garlic clove, juice of half a lime, salt and pepper.

If you have a nice homemade guacamole recipe please add it!

Once my tex-mex mexican comes home from work. I'll ask her. It was good. I think she puts onions and tomatoes in hers.

2 avocados, juice of half a lime (and a little squirt of lemon to help the color stay greener), a handful of diced tomato, diced red onion, a minced clove of garlic, chopped cilantro, a tiny bit of cumin and sea salt........ Turns out perfect. Sorry. I don't measure foods when I cook. I am a pinch and handful Italian woman.

This ^ minus the lemon juice. Mine doesn't last long enough to brown
