I'm 50 years old, and never really liked guacamole. I even worked in a Mexican restaurant where people LOVED the guacamole, and I didn't really like it..... I never hated it, but definitely didn't like it. Since January of this year, I absolutely LOVE guacamole..... I have no idea how that happened at age 50.

Do you like it?

Right now, I am actually finding hard not to eat it..... I might be pregnant. :noway: :bigsmile:

    That's quite odd. I'm 32 years old. NEVER EVER cared for avocado or guacamole. Same thing as you, in January, for some reason, I became OBSESSED and IN LOVE with it. I eat it almost EVERY DANG DAY! It's crazy. Definitely not pregnant, but I never thought I'd be so in love wtih avocados. Very weird.

    Me too! When they got it at my work (wendy's) I was so happy until I looked at when it went bad. Takes two years! I am happy making it at home lol.

    I've disliked avocadoes most of my life. It was a texture thing. Now all of a sudden I love them and add them to my food often. Now I don't even know why I disliked them.

    I love guac as well....the big question though is has anyone found a good low calorie way of eating it? Chips and Guac are one of my favorite foods but tortilla chips are so unhealthy.

    I use it in the place of mayo and other condiments! And my guac is very very very simple, haha. I just do mashed avocado with a pinch of adobo, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a healthy amount of black pepper.

    Can't remember when I went from hating to loving guacamole, but I do love it now! Also, onions. Hated them for the longest time. Now I love them, have for about 3-4 years.

    I can eat an avocado plain or on just about anything. Just add a little salt and pepper and spoon it out. I also love to add them on top of my omelette. I love them and have always loved them. Good stuff

    Same thing here. HATED guacamole and avocadoes. I also worked at a restaurant where we made it at the table. 15 times a day. I now love it. But chips are a no no. Too many carbs. My son says try it on pork rinds which are easy on the carbs.

    Still don't really care for it, but I use it in place of mayo for sandwiches... Also as a veggie dip. Healthier than the alternative!

    It's my kryptonite. I just ate a whole order of chips and guacamole from chipotle. But I ran today so I do not feel guilty :devil:

    Ok, I wanted to pass on a guac recipe someone gave me..... It's NOT a traditional quac, as it is rather thin.....

    1/2 of an onion
    2 jalepenos
    5 tomatillos
    2 cloves of garlic
    2 TBS Lime juice
    S & P to taste
    1 Avocado ( personally I think 2 would make it better )

    Put it all in a blender or processor and buzz til you get the desired consistency..... IMO it was pretty good, but NOT what I would call guacamole,, per se', but a whole lot less calories than traditional gauac. I was told that this is the house recipe for a taco shop.

    My friend loves it!! I am opposite some things since having kids I totally dislike!! Stinks sometimes!! And soda upsets my stomach too much now. Good and bad as it would be nice to have a sip every once in a while ya know.

    Thanks for sharing, will gonna make one of that. Actually the authentic taquerias use guacamole instead of cheese as a topping.

    I love homemade guacamole, I could eat it all on its own! Especially when it is nice and spicy. I have also started eating it with baby carrots instead of chips, it has that crunch that you get from the tortilla chips. I'd rather have chips but it is still tasty.

    mmm, gua-ca-mo-le.... hmmm

    I like putting avocado, onion, garlic, chilli, tomato, coriander (cilantro), salt, pepper, and lime juice all into a big bowl and mixing with a fork so that it's still chunky. Often eat alongside meat or chicken, or just have it with chips.

    Mmmm, chips

    My husband was always eating it and we went on a cruise last November and the beach we were at was serving fresh guacamole and thought I'd give it a try. I have been obsessed ever since. LOVE IT!!:smile: Like the idea of using carrots instead of chips.
