Twice Baked Potatoes and Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans

My sweet husband usually cooks steaks for our Valentine dinner.  This year I made twice-baked potatoes and bacon-wrapped green beans as our side dishes.  The potato recipe came from Allrecipes.com and the green bean recipe came from a friend that made these for me when Camille was a newborn.
