As far as summer BBQs go, there are none quite like those that are thrown to celebrate the Fourth of July. Red, white, and blue, themed decorations, tons of grilled food and sweet treats, and fireworks – I just love it all. But I also know that while it’s fun (at least for me) to spend time preparing and cooking food for your family and friends, it isn’t always realistic. Especially in the summer heat.
That being said, why not enlist the M&D Bakery to help you out? I know that the deli case will be completely stocked with cold salads and entree options. Plus, I may be biased but, our guacamole is the best there is and we will definitely be stocked up for your BBQ needs. However, IF you find yourself too busy to swing by in the next day or so, I will also let you in on a little secret.
This recipe is the most sought after recipe in all the land (according to my email inbox).
M&D Guac:
- 3 ripe Hass avocados
- 1 medium sized onion – chopped fine
- ½ small can of pickled jalapenos – chopped and with juice
- 2 small bunches fresh cilantro – chopped
- Juice from 1 fresh lemon
- Salt to taste
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Remove the skin and rough chop into a bowl before adding in the onion, pickled jalapenos (plus some juice), cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix gently and taste. Add salt as needed and serve right away. If you’re not serving it immediately (good luck with that), store in an airtight container. This is SUPER FRESH so it will brown quickly if not stored properly.
Have a very happy holiday!

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.
So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!
Eat well & travel often,
Becky McKinney
