You guys. I’ve got a big exciting surprise for ya today! I made you a very special, extra cheesy, tomatillo salsa loaded poutine. I know. It’s decadent.

I know poutine is typically made with gravy and all that jazz, but I live in LA and there are still tomatillos at my farmers market! So I wanted to give this comforting dish a new spin. So I went ahead and fried up some french fries and then melted some cheese on top and topped it all off with a tomatillo avocado salsa sprinkled with chopped red onion and bacon.

I don’t know about you, but this just screams football food to me!Cheesy Avocado Bacon PoutineSo let’s talk about this blender for a hot second.

Have you guys ever used a Blendtec? It’s kinda a dream come true. It’s super powerful and it made this tomatillo avocado salsa in literally 16 seconds flat. I timed it. And I did NO prep work. Like I didn’t chop up any of the veggies really, and just threw everything into the blender and let it go to work. Brilliance. 16 seconds later I was ready to go!

If I had to go do my wedding registry all over again, this would be at the top of my list! I can’t even being to tell you how fast it makes my smoothies in the morning. Can you imagine how quickly it would make a blended margarita come spring time when it’s time to lay out by the pool. It’s going to be a whole new world 🙂

  1. My favorite thing to make in a blender is baby food, just because it’s so easy to clean up after. I killed my last blender, however, doing this very thing.

    1. Avocado’s in smoothies are really good… I JUST made one with Kiwi, spinach, frozen peach slices, a banana and half an avocado along with some water. I know that sounds weird… but just try it.

  8. I love to make cauliflower pizza crusts in my blender but my blender is seriously so weak that it clogs up and I have to stop it and use a spatula to mix it up before it’ll continue blending again. I’d die for Blendtec!

  33. My favorite thing to make in a blender are fruit smoothies. Unfortunately, my blender has gone to blender heaven and I haven’t been able to make a good smoothie in a while. Hoping to be able to have one soon.

  50. I love making the coating for kale chips! I would also use it for smoothies with veggies. As of right now, the kale/spinach/veggies don’t get blended finely enough to be appetizing.

    Thanks for the awesome post!
