Food fave

What happens when you combine avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and sour cream? Happiness. Yes, that's right. I found the following recipe in a Cooking Light magazine at the library and being a sucker for all things that have to do with lime and cilantro, I quickly pinned it and threw it on this week's menu. And on a scale from 1-10 this was a 27.
