The Pomegranate Guacamole
This week marks one year since I started this blog. I have to wonder how I ever got to this place spilling my private life and innermost thoughts. It’s unlike me to share in this way. To grieve and to mourn so openly not only with friends, but with complete strangers. Why am I here? This blogging thing is hard work. It’s not only the writing, but the technology, too. Why in the hell am I in this struggle?
The blog started with a chocolate chip cookie recipe spirited with a little Jack Daniels and retrieved from the oven…perfectly baked…in the shape of a heart. Is it a sign from him that this is a good thing cooking, baking and sharing?
And along with that I hope my story is helping others to grieve or to learn about grief. To dispel some of the myths about this subject that no one ever really wants to discuss. A subject no one ever wants to think about or be a part of it, but then it happens. Eventually it will. And so I am here.
And sharing this “whole” food recipe for the Pomegranate Guacamole. Whole foods means fresh and not processed. I think this guacamole is perfect for the upcoming holidays or your favorite tailgate party. Unlike blogging it is super simple to throw together. Enjoy and from the bottom of my heart thanks for hanging out with me this past year.

Pomegranate Guacamole
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: serves 6 1x
Ingredients
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted and mashed–chunky or smooth -your choice
juice from 2 fresh limes
1 tablespoon each finely chopped cilantro and red onion (rinse the onion in cold water to remove those nasty sulphur compounds that make us cry)
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt (more or less to your taste)
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Mix it all together with half the pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle the rest on top along with a sprig of cilantro.
Notes
I don’t know about you, but I hate double dipping, so pull out those shot glasses (unless of course you are doing shots of Jack Daniels) and fill them with guacamole along with some fresh carrot and jicama sticks..so pretty and festive and wholesome.
