Can't Get Enough Of This GUACAMOLE For The Super Bowl !

.

"ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?"


Well, the big American football day is nearly here . . . and even though most folks are focused on the game, I know that I'm going to focus on preparing and presenting all of the food while W.D. sits in his "man-chair" with remote control in hand! (Yes, he helps, but I really like doing it all so he's just out of the way!)
.
First and foremost on our Super Bowl menu is ALWAYS, fresh guacamole! I have made this recipe for years now after trying numerous versions of the green stuff. Personally, I feel that this is just plum awesome. But we all have our own ways to make 'gwauk', and this is my humble little attempt of green bliss on a chip! Just look at these fresh avocados and limes that I picked up at the organic food store . . . incredibly beautiful colors!

Web Sites to Purchase Mojo or My Recipe for Homemade Fresh Mojo

Well from the number of emails and comments that I received about my last post on Mojo marinade, it sounds like most of you were like me, in that you had never heard of Mojo marinade before. So I did y'all a big favor! I did a search on the Web for sites where you can buy the marinade and I also included my own home-made recipe version of this signature Cuban marinade. As with every recipe that I try, I make my own adjustments. For this, I added more garlic and cilantro, and I added some lemon juice. Cilantro is not typically used in the traditional Mojo recipes. But we love the bite of cilantro in combination with lime, so that's just how we do it.

Do You Mojo Your Chicken?

Mojo marinade, that is!


We have a wonderful friend who was born in Cuba and became a U.S. citizen many years ago. He has shared incredibly delicious recipes with us, that I have never mastered. However, one simple thing that he led me to that both you and I can easily add some Latin zest to any meat or fish is this marinade called "Mojo".
.
This marinade is a blend of garlic, onion, citrus, and more in which I give my chicken a nice soak in for a terrific grilled chicken. You can find a bottle or a jug of Mojo in the ethnic/Mexican section of your grocery stores and also in any international grocery store.
