Recipe: Simple Guacamole!

I have a confession...I'm addicted to cooking, cooking shows, and just food in general. I mean, have you SEEN Chopped before?! When I'm stressed, bored, or just in the mood for it, I cook and bake to my little hearts desire and I love tweaking recipes to make them my own. I figured if I'm going to be doing it regardless, why not share my favorite recipes and cooking secrets with you!

I eat avocados more than the average person.  Not only are they full of healthy fats and vitamins, but they taste so damn good and can be used in countless ways! One of my favorite ways to eat them is in guacamole (cue stomach growls and watered mouths). I am anti store bought guacamole (sorry) but never knew how to make this yummy dip at home! My friends all had different ways of going about it from adding avocados to salsa (gag) to the seasoned packets at the store (never tried them but they scare me) and I learned something...restaurants (Chipotle ayyyy) just do it the best! And it's not because of some fancy ingredient but because they keep it simple. So below you will find my quick, simple, and easy recipe for homemade guac!

Simple Guacamole


If I could eat guacamole on everything I would...and I sort of do. I eat it with chips, omelettes, salads, chicken, quesadillas...I'm pretty much addicted. Not gonna lie, every time I go to the grocery store I make sure I include ingredients to make this guacamole. It's just the perfect addition to everything!

You'll need just 5 ingredients to make this guacamole yourself (that's right, FIVE!). The recipe I'm listing is for one serving, but if you want to make a lot just double everything by how many avocados you use!



Simple Guacamole

1 ripe avocado (the mushier the better)
1/4 red onion, chopped
3-4 sprigs of cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 red pepper flakes (optional if you're feeling frisky)

In a medium bowl, mush together avocado, onion, and cilantro with a fork. Add salt and pepper and stir.


That's it. Literally. You're welcome. Now go make some and watch Walking Dead with me so we can cry about how beautiful Daryl is.

Do you have any favorite recipes? Is your guacamole better than mine (doubt it)? Let me know in the comments below!

Until next time my loves x.
