HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - s4story -- Who knew? This is the very first recipe that I ever learned. Way back in third grade (circa 1970s), I never imagined that it would be so relevant today. It turns out that the teacher was a foodie. This is a simple, yet healthier twist on Guacamole. Most ingredients are probably already sitting in your pantry. Literally. The video was produced while visiting my sister in Chicago over Thanksgiving. Her home had ample supplies of everything. The recipe went over so well that we ended up making 3 batches throughout the day.

This is a scaled down, yet delicious, basic recipe- so it would be easy to add your own spin. Play with choices of Oil... Maybe try Peanut, Sesame, Truffle or (yes) Avocado Oil as a variation. Cumin is the key spice to this version, but feel free to add any more that you like. Same with fresh Herbs and Veggies, if you can grow it or get it fresh, consider throwing it in.
