Crackamole

I have a confession. My mother is the Grinch.

She hates Christmas presents…

Gets really mad at her children for buying her Christmas presents….

And she’s as cuddly as a cactus, as charming as an eel….

Justttttt kidding! Mwah hah hahhhhhhhhhh

My Mom does, in fact, hate when her kids buy Christmas presents for her. So this year, I channeled my inner third grader, and whipped up a homemade gift for the Madre:

And this past weekend we all got together to eat our hearts out, Mexican style! I’m all about any excuse to make up a big batch of my crackamole… (it is seriously addicting)…

It’s got avocado

Cilantro!

Salt, GARLIC, and lime juice

Red onions… mmmmmmm….

All together now:

The family ate all but about 2 tablespoons of the guac before we even got in to dinner. That’s how we roll

Ingredients List for a triple batch of Guacamole:

3 avocados
2 tbsp lime juice
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
6 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped red onion

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

Cuddly as a cactus? Charming as an eel? Ahem.

The guacamole was DELISH, and was the rest of the food! It was the best kind of Christmas present--from the heart, and not from the wallet! I love my kids and grandson! Thank you for the Family Fiesta!

Eeeeehaaawwww!!!!
