If you asked Todd for advise on love, his response would be “bacon”.

Yes folks, the key to this man’s heart is bacon. Shocking.

So the loving wife that I am, made him some heart-shaped bacon for Valentine’s Day. ;)

Followed by a delicious dinner.

Shrimp & Bacon Quesadillas
1 can black beans
1/2 lb shrimp, cooked & chopped into pieces 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
4 ounces shredded cheese
tortillas
butter or olive oil

In a bowl, mash the black beans with a potato masher. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a TBS of butter or olive oil. Place 1 tortilla down on the skillet, cover the tortilla with cheese, black beans, shrimp, and bacon pieces. Cover with another tortilla and cook until the bottom is crispy and golden brown, then gently flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden.

Avocado Ranch Dip
2 small ripe avocados
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped dill
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and mix until desired consistency.

Salsa
4 Roma tomatoes
2 cloves minced garlic 1/2 red onion
1/2 lime juiced
salt
pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and mix until thick and creamy

 

This meal was so freaking delicious, we even had to make our own tortilla chips to use the leftover salsa and avocado ranch dip.

So… all the fattening deep-fried Fair visits and talk about bacon inspired me to make Todd a dessert… Chocolate Covered Bacon.

I didn’t care for it, but Todd did. That’s all that matters right? Making sure the one you love is happy? Well, I think he is… At least for tonight.

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! We sure did.
