Which translated means I wrote it on a piece of scrap paper and shoved it in my folder of recipes that I plan to make some day. Today’s the day for this crazy good recipe I found on Gilt Taste.

Did you know that Guacamole is one of the most popular Super Bowl snacks?! Right up there with Chicken Wings! But it’s been around long before the big game ever took place.
