Guacamole is an extremely versatile, extremely tasty way to reap the health rewards of this delicious green fruit.

This easy recipe is very good for you and completely free of any additives or preservatives. Here are just a few of the health perks;

• The tomatoes are notorious for lycopene (a superstar in cancer prevention), they are a low calorie fiber source, and are high in Vitamins C, K, A, manganese and many more.
• The raw garlic used in this recipe adds flavor without adding sodium, plus it works as a potent antioxidant and anti-fungal, and also acts as an effective and natural antibacterial within the body.
• Fresh cilantro is another natural antibacterial, and it is very high in antioxidants.
• Onion, especially raw as in this recipe, is an excellent source of manganese, Vitamins B-6 and C, chromium, and fiber.


Ingredients
3-4 Avocados, ripe
1 Onion, finely diced
2 Roma Tomatoes, diced
2-4 Garlic Cloves, minced (we like lots of garlic)
1 Large Bunch Cilantro, minced
1 Tbsp Lime Juice, fresh squeezed is best
Salt, to taste (roughly ½ tsp)


How to make healthy guacamole
Prepare the avocados by halving them, removing the seeds, and peeling them so that only the flesh of the fruit remains. Use a fork to lightly mash and mix the avocado in a medium size mixing bowl; don’t worry about getting it completely blended as small pieces of whole fruit within the finished guacamole tastes great.

Add the onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and salt; mix well. I recommend taking a taste-test bite at this point to make sure that your guacamole is as flavorful as you’d hoped!

Once the dish has the baseline taste you’re aiming for, add in the diced tomatoes and gently stir well one last time. Adding the tomatoes last after the majority of your blending is finished helps keep the guacamole from becoming overly mixed and of a mushy consistency.


Guacamole is a very healthy addition to many dishes, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, burgers, a bowl of beans or a side of chips being just a few of the more popular ideas.

Why Open Relationships Dont Work

There’s no worse feeling out there than laying in your bed alone knowing your girlfriend is sleeping over at another guy's house. Trust me, open relationships aren’t for everyone. Like many people in their early 20s, I fell into my open relationship by way of a girlfriend who cheated on me and wanted our love to last. I was 20 years old, totally naive, and driven by the idea of appearing adult; all I had was my little apartment in the North End of Boston and a controlling girlfriend who gave me a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. We had been together since the end of high school and her method of dictating my life was the only way I knew how to do things. During winter break, in which she was home, she cheated on me and tearfully admitted it a month later. I was brokenhearted, but as determined as she was to keep the relationship going. At the time, I thought she was the one and would stop at nothing to make sure we lasted. She suggested opening ourselves up to other pe...
