Spicy Chicken Salad Stuffed Avocados:

Spicy Chicken Salad Stuffed in Avocados! What’s not to love? This is an oldie but goodie. Often I formulate a recipe idea, and then have Cassidy help me execute it. It’s sort of how we work best. I dream and visualize. He plans and also executes. Sometimes he dreams and visualizes, and I plan and execute. Somehow, it all works out. This was a collaboration from years ago and dangit (I never say dangit?) they are so good! There are so many reasons I also love eating food out of bowls made out of food. (say that three times fast) It’s because it’s pretty magical! And more importantly than that, eating such festive and fun foods reminds me of parties. Parties make me happy.
