    Taco Dip

    April 18, 2015 - By 

    It’s football season! I have had a few people ask about some great snack foods that are perfect for any tailgating parties. So the first recipe I created was a taco dip that can be used with veggies or homemade baked tortilla chips. It is rich and creamy and healthy too! If you like things spicy, then feel free to add a little cayenne pepper to kick things up a notch. You can use our homemade taco seasoning for this recipe! I love that it has only two ingredients! Yep, that’s it! You can whip up a batch of this…

    Onion Dip

    April 4, 2015 - By 

    I grew up eating store-bought french onion dip….and love it! Of course, my family didn’t eat it every day, but we had it for cookouts and special times when we entertained. Even now, when my family gets together, there is usually a container or two of the store-bought variety. But because I have to be careful about what I eat, I wanted to try to recreate my favorite dip from scratch. And I found that it wasn’t too difficult. Small batch The batch I made is a reduced size compared to other recipes since it’s just me cooking for me…

    Deviled Eggs

    April 19, 2014 - By 

    When spring rolls around, I start getting a hankering for some good deviled eggs. I’m not sure exactly why that is, but I absolutely love them. I guess they remind me of picnics and cookouts…and even church potlucks. You can’t have a good potluck without some deviled eggs, can you? Even though I love them, I had never made them…I know, it’s just wrong, isn’t it? One of the reasons that I haven’t made them is because one of the main ingredients is mayonnaise, and of course store-bought mayo is full of soybean oil, which is primarily GMO and so I…

    Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

    September 15, 2013 - By 

    It is common to see sausage stuffed mushrooms on the menu at upscale restaurants. But you can easily make these at home.  And they are every bit as good as the ones that you would find in fancy eateries. They are great to make as an appetizer for holiday entertaining! And they can be adapted easily for different dietary needs too! I had wanted to make these for a while but didn’t have an excuse.  But they are so delightfully yummy that I sometimes make them as a meal…just because I can! Make these for your next holiday party or…

    Cream Cheese Fruit Dip

    October 27, 2011 - By 

    This cream cheese fruit dip actually started out as a happy accident! But with only three ingredients, you can feel good serving it to your family and guests, knowing exactly what is in it! Many years ago, I ran across a very yummy fruit dip made from cream cheese and some other ingredients that I really felt better avoiding. It was really delicious and it made an impression on my taste buds! So, imagine my surprise when I was in my kitchen working on creating a substitute for cream cheese frosting or icing and I created this amazing dip (it…
