I’ve made every guacamole combo you can think of. Some are really good, some are really mediocre, and one is just the best and the go to for me. I like specific tastebuds, hit hard. Salt, tang, spice, and the 7th sense, garlic.

It’s avocado season and the trees are loaded.

Scoop out your avocados and put in a bowl. I use a potato masher. I like smooth and chunky together. Add the rest of your ingredients and stir. Taste test and adjust flavors. Once it sits it will mellow some. When I store it, I lay plastic wrap on the surface to keep it from turning brown. Fun fact: Florida avocados don’t turn brown like hass avocados do. They’re also 1/3 less fat.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
