Hi. My name is Gaby and I am addicted to Guacamole. Give me 1 guac and I'm a happy camper... but 3, game over. I'm in HEAVEN!
Yup. It's true. I live off of guacamole. I eat it at least 5 times a week and its pretty much the only thing I crave on a regular basis. It's breakfast, lunch and dinner here and I don't think anything about that is weird. I am a walking advertisement for avocados and I'm not mad at it! Some people live by that "apple a day keeps the doctor away" saying.... just replace the word apple with avocado and you've pretty much got me figured out!
We stock avocados on the regular here at the What's Gaby Cooking kitchen. There isn't a trip to the store that's complete without a few rock hard avocados. I've discussed this before in my first cookbook - but I like to buy avocados when they are ROCK HARD and then let them ripen on my counter. That way you don't get a bruised avocado. Because let's be honest, there's nothing more depressing than cutting into an avocado and having it be brown and gross. No thanks.
So since we are a little over a week away from the biggest football day of the year, we're making not one, not two but THREE kinds of guac today. Also, side note, I know absolutely nothing about football but I will celebrate game day forever because it's an excuse to eat appetizers all day long.
Alright so here we go - there's some chipotle guacamole, mango guacamole and traditional guacamole in your future. Get excited!
