Easy Vegan Guacamole Recipe with Lime
 |
| Easy gluten-free vegan guacamole. |
In three and a half weeks we’ll be in our new home. In the meantime, we are as patient as humanly possible, making do in our tiny rental kitchen, and adjusting to living at a higher altitude. Were indulging in freshly mashed guacamole laced with lots of lime and sweet cherry tomatoes.
We’ve been slinking into art openings with the calm detachment of non-featured artists and enjoying the mixed eclectic bag known as the Santa Fe art scene– wondering how, when and where we’ll fit in. If at all.
And of course, I am dreaming of my new cocina. And rustling up platters of green chile enchiladas and Thai peanut stir-fries. The kitchen sports copper counter tops and birch latilla doors. There are hand painted accent tiles embedded in the thick adobe walls. Classic New Mexican style.
I am sipping a lime-laced iced green tea as I write, and contemplating just what color my new Kitchen Aid mixer should be (having sold my old custard yellow beast at our estate sale back on the Cape). I’m leaning to cobalt blue today; as the hand painted accent tiles feature a blue bird-like design that reminds me of why I love this high desert country, its deep and penetrating miles of skies, and air that sparkles with the hair-raising urge toward flight into unknown territory.

Easy Vegan Guacamole Recipe with Lime + Sweet Cherry Tomatoes
This guac is as easy as uno, dos, tres. So simple. No onions. No salsa. Nothing fancy. It is clean, creamy and fresh tasting- and laced with plenty of lime.
Ingredients:
2-3 ripe organic avocados
2-3 ripe organic avocados
1 garlic clove, minced
10 sweet cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
Juice from 1 large juicy lime, more limes for garnish, if desired
Finely chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
Instructions:
Halve and pit the avocados. Using a soup spoon, scoop out each avocado into a bowl. Grab a potato masher and smash the avocado. Add the garlic and lime juice and mix until smooth (or leave it chunky, if you prefer). Stir in the tomatoes; reserve a few for garnish on the top.
Serve immediately with gluten-free organic corn tortilla chips.
Best served fresh.

This super easy guac is mucho tasty as a condiment to quesadillas, enchiladas, omelettes and frittatas, and other southwestern and Mexican-inspired dishes. See my Gluten-Free Goddess® collection of my favorite Santa Fe + Mexican inspired recipes.
Serves 4.

Chocolate Sorbet Vegan and Dairy Free
 |
| Rich chocolate sorbet- without dairy. Pass the spoon. |
Two trends are sneaking in to recipe searches this week. The first? Super bowl recipes. You know, guy-style chicken chili and Crock-Pot crowd pleasers. Party food for the Big Game. Guacamole and hummus. Nachos. The second trend is a search closer to my own heart and its tender sensibilities. You may have already guessed it. Because you, Wonderful Reader, are smart, savvy and, well. Let's just gush a minute with appreciation. You are downright fabulous (with impeccable taste and discernment, I might add).
The second big trend is a search for romantic recipes and Valentine's Day inspiration. You're not surprised, are you? (See, I knew you were brilliant).
I'd much rather conjure up chocolate recipes than beans and burgers. Sexy food is more interesting than AstroTurf and lines of scrimmage and backfields in motion. And what the Hail Mary is a down, anyway? First down, fourth down. All these downs and off sides. It makes my head spin.
