This whole not feeling well thing is really starting to get old. I’m definitely better than I was this time last week. And also better than even a couple days ago… but what was the sniffles has now turned into a lovely barking cough that scares our 90-lb Rottweiler.
I wasn’t up for doing carry out again, and then I remembered something: a friend of ours showed me how to make truly delicious guacamole, as well as a trick to keep it from turning brown in the fridge. I HAD to make guacamole tonight.
I mushed up 4 avocados, and combined them with a chopped jalapeño, half a chopped red onion, the juice of 2 limes, one diced tomato, some garlic powder, and some salt. The key to not turning brown? Leave the pits in the bowl!
What better to put the guacamole on than a low-fat burger with a couple small pieces of crisp-cooked bacon? Yeah. Nothing. Thats what I thought too.

Great idea for a burger, Mara! I have never had avocado on a burger, but I love it with bacon!
Looks delicious! One of my mom’s friends taught her the pit trick! I’ve since read elsewhere that it doesn’t work, but I cry foul b/c it’s always worked for me!!
Try Delsym for the cough – it’s the best. Lasts 12 hrs and isn’t too, too nasty – tastes like orange kool-aid.

Hope you’re over the crud soon. I hate when it just drags on and on!
And that looks YUMMY! Send some over here!!! =)
Aw, hope you feel better Mara! I love guacamole! And other trick is to put plastic wrap and press down so no air gets trapped – but I use the pit method too!

Oh, yum. I’m not a huge guac fan but I think that you have inspired me for dinner tonight. The 96/4 beef and 100 calorie thin buns are much better than red robin (at least that’s what I’m telling myself)!
