Friends, this is a quick post, just like this recipe is a quick whipper upper. See, today (well, yesterday, by the time you read this) is mine and the hubby's 8th wedding anniversary. I really shouldn't be sitting here at the computer while he is watching episodes of The Middle on Hulu Plus. 😉 We celebrated with one of our dinner faves: 60-cent wings at B-dubs. Kids were with us. We really know how to celebrate, huh? Last year, it was Chick-fil-a. Ha!
One of my favorite gifts Ben ever gives me for any special day is a homemade card. He's only made a few, but I received another one for our anniversary and it is absolutely my favorite so far, despite its simplicity. I'll spare you the deets of the mushy stuff he wrote inside, but check out the cover:
There you have it. Just like this very simple card made my heart smile, this very simple avocado dip is going to make your tummy happy! I came up with this recipe when attempting to make a new dressing for a salad. It was too thick for a dressing, but perfect for a dip. And, it's healthy!! I'll be making this so many times this summer that it's possible I'll turn green! 😉

OH MY GOODNESS! That card is the best. Your anniversaries sound like ours...nothing extravagant, just happy to be together, and thankful for our family. B-dubs sounds like my husbands dream anniversary date.
Nikki says
Glad we're not the only ones who have low-key celebrations. I think we're just waiting for the 10-year...and hopefully take a big trip? Or, maybe we'll just be at B-dubs again. 😉
