Time to get your "guac" on.....

....Whether fans were watching for the commercials, the football or simply to coo at Brady, they'll combine to eat more on Super Bowl Sunday than any day but Thanksgiving, although this "holiday" is more about chips (14,500 tons) and guacamole (8 million pounds) than turkey and stuffing. (And don't double dip. This week, a researcher released a study that said three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria into the dip.) - AP

I live in avocado country so we are very blessed with the little green gobs of goodness being available pretty much year round. Although, you might blush at how the word "avocado" came about.

Everyone has their own "special recipe" for guacamole and here are some of my favorites....

Saveur - This recipe is based on one in Rosa's New Mexican Table by Roberto Santibañez (Artisan, 2007); it's for the same dish that is prepared at Rosa Mexicano restaurants in New York City. "It is our signature dish—nine out of ten guests order it," says Santibañez.
Tyler Florence's Charred Tomatillo Guacamole.
Martha Stewart's Mango Guacamole.

Some bloggers are sharing their recipes....

Heidi over at 101 Recipes has "guacamole with a twist"...
Echo Trips has their "River Guacamole" (love their description "moderately squishy avocados")
La Vie in English has a Gucamole Flan!
