holy guacamole!

yes, i used that as my title. so sue me. no, don't sue me. that's the opposite of the point that i'm trying to make...
[5 points to the person who gets the quote reference!]

yesterday kristen and i [mostly kristen] made homemade guacamole. we based our recipe on Rachael Ray's "holy guacamole" recipe, but mostly just did our own thing.









we used [kc can correct me if i'm wrong...she made it, i just took pictures and gave input if asked for it]:
  • 3 Avacados
  • 3 Small Cloves of Garlic Minced - equivilent of 1 reg. size clove
  • 2 tbsp of finely chopped onion
  • 1 Fresh Jalapeno with seeds and veins removed
  • 1 Canned Jalapeno including seeds and veins
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp of medium salsa
  • Salt and Pepper
**recipe edited thanks to Kristen**

Just a few ideas to jazz up your guac, my wife loves when I make it homemade.

I'd add lime juice instead of lemon, and I always use a lot of fresh cilantro it gives it that fresh taste. Fresh tomatoes mixed in (instead of salsa) would also be a hit, and I carefully add cayenne pepper (it's really hot, so add a little at a time)

If you even care to alter your recipe, if not your's looked tasty as well.
