Big happenings in the Ellingson/soon-to-be Ellingson household today…we’re getting a puppy!!  After a month of begging, pleading, persuading discussing getting a dog with Marc, we finally decided we are ready for a dog.  We pick her up this afternoon and after that, life will never be the same.  In a good way!  

I’m guessing our new addition will be taking up a lot of our free time, so we will need lots of quick and easy meals…like this one!  The sauce takes just a minute to whip up, and besides frying up some bacon, all you need to do it cook the pasta.  Marc and I both raved about this pasta and even though we were both “not that hungry” and wanted “just a light dinner” we finished off the entire pot of pasta.  I guess this was a good thing, since the original recipe states the leftovers don’t keep well or reheat due to the avocado in the sauce.
