for cinco :: the BEST of the EASY guacamoles

As I recall 

it was before my

morning coffee...

you know it's gonna be a doozie

when the story starts off

with an excuse!

I actually asked

my sister none-the-less!

when is cinco de mayo

this year?

Duh...

like, when's the 

Fourth of July?

Well...

it's today!

and in celebration

I am going to share my

love for the avocado

with my go-to

guacamole

which always starts off

with 2 ripe 

avocados

which I mash  (not to much) in a bowl with

a pastry knife

then add

the juice of a lemon

another love of mine

I craved lemons

during my pregnancies

so this pairing

is a

 match made in heaven

Here's the recipe

it comes from

my days with

Le Leche League

and their cookbook

Whole Foods For The Whole Family

is it any wonder why

I reminisce

now I've been told

that when you alter a recipe

with 3 ingredients

you can claim it as your own

but...

I wanted to give

Helen Palmer

her props!

I always use 2 avocados

and the juice of 1 lemon

and

garlic salt

4 cherry tomatoes-diced fine

leaving the seeds

on the cutting board floor

now this can be changed up

with

 lime vs lemon

cilantro

no tomato or onion

jalapenos for heat

fresh garlic

but why mess around 

with perfection

K.I.S.S.

Keep. It. Simple. Stupid!

Have you heard...

cinco de mayo

lands on

May 5th this year?

That's today!

Celebrate with this

The

Best of the Easy Guacamoles!

Ole!
