Guacamole

As mentioned in my previous post, I am fasting.  I'm doing the Daniel fast, the same one I did last year, and it went so well that I know not another year will ever pass without me starting every January the same way.  I am in my final week now, the fast is 21 days, and let me say- it can be extremely tough!  On the 23rd, my first day off the fast, I will be drinking coffee, which I had to give up, and eating PIZZA! 

But that's all I can write about that now or else I'll just be torturing myself.  For now, I'm doing my best to have variety and keep it interesting with the fruit, veggies, and whole grains that I am allowed to eat.  This guacamole really hits the spot, especially on days where I struggle the most.

Guacamole

recipe from allrecipes.com

3 avocados - peeled, pitted, and mashed

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced onion
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Blend everything together either in a food processor or stir together if you prefer it chunkier.  I made this batch too smooth, so the next day I took the leftovers and added in a cut up avocado and tomato.  This is the best guacamole recipe!
