Guest Post: Holy Guacamole!

Hello folks,
I have a special treat for y'all today!
My roommate/suitemate/best friend for life Cassandra decided to write
a post while I'm busy watching the entire season of Hart of Dixie on Netflix.
I know you guys will love her just as much as I do!


Ciao!
Hello lovely bloggers! Firstly, I would like to thank you all for reading Caroline's blog - I find it to be quite wonderful and I hope you do too. Secondly, I would like to congratulate you for making it to the third line of my post and for not giving up on me so soon... I am not nearly as talented as my lovely roommate (false. <- from Caroline.) but would like to share a very special night with you despite my deficits in blogging abilities. Now enough of my petty self-deprecating pity and onto the more important - or maybe most important -topic... GUACAMOLE!

A simple 'how to' guide on making guacamole - in a college dining club - with a few simple ingredients...

Most importantly, you'll need some avocados. To be honest,  I don't even know when these delectable orbs of goodness are in season but what I do know is that we are chalk full of them here at Stanford... for now. Hence the reason why Caroline and I share one at almost every meal. Is that even healthy?

Step 1: Avocados 
I gave Caroline the task of mashing the avocados while I scavenged the salad bar for the remaining ingredients. (Maybe you don't have access to a 24-hour salad bar? In which case, you'll need to find another way to acquire the remaining pieces of the guacamole puzzle).

Step 2: Onions

Step 3: Tomatoes

Step 4: Salt
And boom bam bang! There you go! (We also happened to find some lime juice and garlic powder by raiding our chef's secret area- definitely add some of that if you have it).

Now, the coolest - and most 'blogworthy' -  part of our guacamole adventure was our chip-making abilities. We had no chips at our disposal but we did have tortillas and a panini maker... We put our noggins to good use and VOILA!



Homemade (and quite delicious, if I may add) chips! 

I am confident in ALL of your guac-making abilities but I am now making you aware of your scavenging and 'being creative' abilities. What can I say, food inspires us!

Caroline and I had a wonderful evening filled with laughter, good food, and great company. How about you? Any good food-inspired stories?


HOLY GUACAMOLE!

Cheers!

  3. I LOVE guacamole - this is a great recipe! I was going to suggest adding garlic and/or onion powder, but you threw that in there at the end! Guacamole is just so simple, relatively healthy, and always delicious. It's hard to beat!
