Some people call Memorial Weekend the start of summer. The
beginning of, I can officially wear white without getting dirty looks from the
older ladies in the grocery store line. The start of bikinis, humidity and guys
with their shirts off mowing the lawn (Mr. Six Pack, we thank you). I call it
the start of Guacamole and Salsa season.
YEAH!! Jumping up and down clapping. Happy day…..happy day!
It’s like Salsa Santa and the Guacamole Fairy have both come to town.
I may actually have a Salsa Santa theme song, but… that’s
for another blog post.
It is no secret to anyone who knows me that I can actually
eat my weight in chips and salsa or chips and guacamole. Mexican restaurants
have gone out of business due to the likes of me and their bottomless chip
baskets. Sweet delicious fried carbs you serve as a wonderful vessel to get the
guacamole to my mouth.
NOM.
However with this healthy kick that I’m really trying hard
and getting started, I may have to cut back on my chip munching for a bit.
Still, I refuse to give up my guacamole or salsa. So today I want to share with
you an alternative I use to allow my dip craving to be satisfied.
You’ll Need:
Healthy Orange Chips of Gross (aka Carrots) ….. I’m not a
fan of carrots can you tell.
2 Avocados (they should be ripe, when you squeeze them
they should feel like a boob, yes boob.. don’t judge me.)
¼ cup diced onion (add a little more to taste if you’re
like me and love the flavor)
2 cloves diced garlic (I add extra of this as well)
½ jalapeno diced, seeded
Kosher salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Juice of half a lemon
Pit the avocados and mash with your super awesome mashing
tool (fork). Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the carrots. Yes it
really is that easy. Enjoy your fresh guacamole with carrot chips. I swear you
won’t even realize you are eating yucky yucky carrots.
Tip: When you are done if there is any guacamole left you
will want to cover it with plastic wrap. The first layer of plastic wrap should
be pressed against the guacamole and the side of the bowl. The second layer
will cover the top of the bowl. The less air, the slower your guacamole will
brown.
Enjoy, let me know how you like to make you guacamole.
Hey Brooke, I tried to wear white pants a month ago and got a dirty look. I thought I was confident enough to do it but now I think I'm not. Why can't we do it? It's just a stupid rule people made up. I LOVE wearing white. I think it makes your wardrobe options that much bigger, ya know? I hate that it's still a stereotype.

I have one wardrobe rule... I always dress for my body type. Example I love skinny jeans, I'm really jealous of girls (and some guys) who can wear skinny jeans. But these things, yup these, they don't do skinny jeans. Ever. If they ever do... which I doubt... I will have an entire blog dedicated my thighs and skinny jeans. So if you want to wear white in April, September or December... you go girl.

It always AMAZES me when people buy canned guacamole... It's SO easy to make and takes two minutes! Plus, it's super yummy fresh. I could eat avocado every day the rest of my life and be totally pleased!

Fake-amole isn't going to work for me... EVER. It takes all of two seconds. Plus if you don't want to take the time to chop an onion, you can always you a seasoning packet or simply add salsa. Not hard and so much better than fake-amole in a tube. Blah!
