Husband: For dinner tonight, I was thinking baked potatoes and salad.

Me: Okay, sure. I guess. {Potatoes and salad?? A little spartan no??}

Me: These are the fanciest baked potatoes ever! {Lesson: Never doubt your husband}

What are yours?

I bought this instant pie filling because — well — I liked the packaging. I just ♥ that vintage feel. And I am a pro-vanilla girl …

It was a basic, easy recipe with a homemade Graham Cracker Crust {with the little change that I mixed choco&vani grahams} and then the McNess packaged filling. Maybe I need to try filling that is more homemade. Any suggestions out there?

Ever since we moved into our new place, my husband has been a cooking manic! I feel like I am in a restaurant. And I LOVE IT! ♥

The other night I asked him to make Avocado Soup.

Why would I want cold soup in winter? Well, that’s just me. {I love ice cream in the cold and snow, too.} And my husband was fine with it because he got to use our new wedding food processor.

This recipe {found via Emeril} is definetly NOT low-fat. See the half & half being added above …

… And I was a little wary when we were instructed to add lime juice to sour cream. It made me worry that this recipe may end up hurting my tum-tum.

But once we started ladling it into bowls and I could smell all that yummy avocadoness — I felt much more confident and hungry.

Let me tell you — this soup is REALLY good and totally satisfying. We decided to add bacon in addition to the lime cream when finishing off the dish — because in my house we believe bacon makes everything better.

I give this recipe 4 (out of 5) very enthusiastic sporks!
