Monday, January 21, 2013 by Lolli 15 Comments

Bacon Stuffed Avocados #AvocadoBowl

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 by Lolli 9 Comments

Bacon and avocado...Two ingredients that make just about any recipe more delicious. So it's no wonder that bacon stuffed avocados are to-die-for amazing!

If you were to ask me to name a handful of ingredients that make almost any food taste better, avocados and bacon would top the list. Honestly, when I’m looking at a menu in a restaurant or scanning a recipe at home, if I see avocados or bacon on the ingredients list, I’m more likely…
