National Guacamole Day? ¡Órale!

1 · Sep 18, 2012 · Leave a Comment

So, we didn’t know this was a thing… but it is! Apparently, Sept. 16 is also National Guacamole Day. Not that we need a holiday or an excuse to prompt us to eat guacamole, pero bueno…

Since we missed it by a day and we don’t have time (or any ripe aguacates) to whip up a fancy guacamole to celebrate, we thought we’d just remind you of the resources already available here on The Other Side of The Tortilla for all your guacamole needs if you feel like celebrating this week:

Simple guacamole recipe                                               The best how-to guide to keep your guacamole green
    

Mark your calendars, because we read that November 14 is National Spicy Guacamole Day!

  • What’s your favorite non-standard ingredient to put in guacamole?

  • I didn’t take a bite... YOU took a bite! (OK, I totally did.) 🤷🏻‍♀️🍩 But in my defense, these margarita-glazed doughnuts are the real deal. Like having a cocktail 🍹 without the buzz. Not suitable for the kids because there’s booze in the glaze, but then who am I to assume you’d want to share them anyway? 🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩 Recipe is up on the blog at theothersideofthetortilla.com. 👩🏻‍💻 What kind of doughnuts should I make next?! ⠀

Did you know there are as many as 2,000 kinds of Mexican pan dulce? 😱 My husband and I started writing ✍🏼 a guide to common types of Mexican sweet bread awhile back, and then realized I’d probably never publish it on my blog if I waited until I tried and photographed hundreds more. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So this is me, Type A person who likes to have ALL the details and photos complete and perfect, telling you that I published an incomplete guide on 💁🏻‍♀️ theothersideofthetortilla.com with more than 50 kinds of pan dulce, descriptions and some photos, and I plan to add more over time. I hope you’ll check it out and tell me in the comments below what other types of pan dulce you think I should add to the list! ❤️🥐⠀

  • I saw a nutritionist 🤓🍎 for the first time in my adult life about a month ago while I was in Mexico City 🇲🇽. While I wasn’t eating poorly, I wasn’t eating enough of the right things at the right times of day. 🍎 🥑🥦 Turns out I’m a total carbaholic (which I already knew). 🤷🏻‍♀️🥐🥖🍞 Carbs in moderation at breakfast and up until my afternoon snack time are OK for me, but detrimental to my progress if I eat them in the evening. But when I’m getting that proper balance, I’m not hungry and don’t crave carbs and sugar at night like I used to. 💪🏼⠀
⠀
The hardest part for me is surprisingly not the changes I’ve had to make in my diet, though. 💁🏻‍♀️ It’s the prep discipline to make sure I pack snacks and lunch every day so I don’t make bad choices or skip meals because I’m busy. 👩🏻‍💻 My husband helps me out so I can succeed. He even wakes up early to make me breakfast some days of the week! 🍳 Making smart choices (like swapping weekend pancakes 🥞 for Greek yogurt and berries with granola) isn’t always easy, but all this is to say: Invest in yourself because it’s worth it. It’s never too late to learn to take better care of yourself. And your body will thank you. ⠀
⠀
P.S. A note about the cost 💵 and why I chose to do this in MX rather than at home in LA: It was cheaper and less hassle to do this in MX, paying out of pocket, than seeing a nutritionist WITH insurance in the US. My 2-hour consult for a body composition test and a personalized nutrition plan from a UCLA-educated nutritionist cost me about $85 USD. I can do follow-up appointments via Skype 💻 with her for a very small fee in comparison to what my insurance would be billed for follow-ups at home plus my out-of-pocket cost, and I can ask my nutritionist questions in between (at no cost) via her WhatsApp.📱It bothers me that proper nutrition counseling is harder and more expensive to access in the US. 😒 Happy to share more about my own plan if you’d like!
