I haven't had 7 layer bean dip in a while, and was missing it. I always relate 7 layer bean dip with my favorite roomie, Laurel. Laurel understood the appeal. Eric, not so much. I laid the bean dip (made entirely from scratch, even the refried beans) on the counter and called everyone to dinner. Eric is not a big talker, and he knows better than to complain about something I actually cooked, but he gave me a "look". This "look" said more than Eric had said aloud to me all day. The "look" said:
"Bean dip for dinner? Are you kidding me? Bean dip is not a meal, it is a side dish! Where is the real food?"
I felt a little cowed by the "look" I hurried and pulled a pineapple from the fridge and cut it up. In that moment, the "look" made me miss Laurel. Laurel understood bean dip for dinner. It has protein (beans), veggies, dairy, carbs (chips). What is missing? Laurel was also good at understanding doughnuts for dinner, cupcakes for dinner and cinnamon bears for dinner. Laurel I miss you!

Yeah, Mckay doesn't understand the whole coffee cake for breakfast thing, which makes me sad.
These are the kind of dinners that should be served to those who will truly appreciate it! I only do meals like this for our Lunch and play group. I would have devoured your dinner up
ha ha hahahaha! I'm seriously laughing out loud right about now! Just last week at the grocery store Cannon wanted a doughnut, and I started telling him about the most delicious, biggest doughnuts... bigger than your head doughnuts that you had ever seen! mmmm.... those were fun days:) LOVE YOU!
FUNNY!! Justin and I have had the same 'bean dip for dinner' discussion before. I agree with you, it's got it all!
