Go-To Guacamole

One of my favorite things about going home is eating all of my favorite foods my Mom makes. One of the staples in our house is southwestern food like tacos, chili, enchiladas and fajitas, so guacamole is made almost weekly to eat with whatever we’re having. While I love my mom’s recipe for guacamole and could easily eat a whole bowl of it by myself, it does have onions in it which I am no longer able to have. This recipe is my own version, based off of hers with a little twist to make it almost as good.

Recipe

This recipe makes about a cup and a half of guacamole, depending on the size of the avocados.

Ingredients

2 medium size Haas avocados

2 tbsp diced tomato

1 jalapeño, make sure to take out the seeds if you don’t like a lot of spice or leave out completely

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp white wine vinegar

Mash the avocados with a fork until chunky. The avocados will become more smooth as you mix in the other ingredients so it is better to leave them under-mashed at this point. Add in the tomato, jalapeño, garlic and vinegar. Combine until your desired texture is reached. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, veggies, or food.

To store in Tupperware, place plastic wrap directly on guacamole, pressing to make sure there are as little air bubbles as possible. Seal container with lid over plastic wrap for 1-2 days. If guacamole browns on top, you can scrape off the top to see if it is still green underneath.

    Quick Buffalo Chicken and Yogurt Dip

    As if my love affair with Target wasn’t strong enough, over the past couple years I have found that they have great pre-made basics for meals- which is how this easy dinner first came about. I would pick up their shredded chicken, add some form of a sauce and some veggies to it and call it a day. This version has always been one of my favorites and takes about 10 minutes to pull together.

  • Hawaiian Pineapple Pork Bowl

    This summer, our family took a two-week-long trip to Hawaii to celebrate my parent’s 35th anniversary. While in Hawaii, I loved trying all of the fresh fruit and Asian-inspired foods that you can’t normally get on the Mainland. One of my favorites was the Kalua Egg Rolls from The Hideout in Waikiki, located at The Laylow hotel, where we stayed while in Honolulu. They were filled with Kalua pork, pineapple jam, and island coleslaw. This is my healthier and easier to make version of those egg rolls, but if you’re ever in Waikiki, definitely try the original.

  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes

    A couple of weeks ago, I posted my recipe for Crispy Oven Fries, and while those are great to make with sweet potatoes, I sometimes like to change the flavors that I use with the sweet potatoes. This recipe uses cinnamon which always goes well with sweet potatoes, while also adding more savory spices so that they aren’t overly sweet.

  • Cucumber Pesto
