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.
