Margaret’s Fruit Dip

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I know I already posted a fruit dip recipe, but this one got such rave reviews that I had to post it also. After all, one can never have too many creamy ways to fatten up delicious, healthy fruit, right? So this recipe comes to you from my aunt, Margaret. Not Aunt Margaret, just Margaret. […]

Erin’s Corn Dip

Monday, June 6th, 2011

As some of you already know, my six year old son has a very serious illness that requires numerous surgeries (17 and counting), and weekly appointments to have his blood counts checked, among numerous other specialists we have to see regularly. We visit the local Children’s Cancer Clinic to have his blood counts checked, and […]

Green Olive Nut Spread

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

I’ve already confessed on a previous post my love for anything containing green olives. And that means this recipe is a definite repeater in my house! I honestly don’t remember the first time that I made this recipe. I know that sounds weird for me, but it’s true. You see, a couple of years ago […]

Mississippi Caviar

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Did you guys miss me the last couple of weeks? Sorry for not posting, but at least I have a good excuse. I was in Boston with my little HERO (my son) while he underwent numerous procedures and his 17th surgery. We had access to a kitchen, but needless to say cooking was not high […]

Creamy Fruit Dip

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

In this photo once again, you’ll see those yummy Louisiana strawberries. Can you tell I’m a bit obsessed? All winter long I went without eating my favorite fruit because they were so dang expensive, and now that the local farmer’s market has had them I just can’t get enough! When I was doing Weight Watchers […]

Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly

Friday, April 8th, 2011

I know this isn’t so much a “recipe” as it is an idea, but it still qualifies to be posted here in my humble opinion. This is one of those all-time favorite Southern appetizers that can be found on almost any buffet table, wedding reception, birthday party, pretty much any gathering you can imagine. I […]

Cheesy Ritz Dip

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Does this photo entice you to look further? Yummy, cheesy goodness at it’s best is lying just ahead for you! I’ve seen this dip in every single community cookbook I’ve ever purchased, and with good reason…it’s absolutely delicious and one of the easiest things to make! I first tried a similar version of this dip […]

Corn & Green Olive Dip

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Let me just admit this and get it over with. I’m a green olive addict. If there were a Olive Overeaters Anonymous program somewhere, I’d need to be the first person in line to sign up. I love it so much that I can eat them just straight out of the jar…and I love them […]

Restaurant Style Salsa

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

My husband is EXTREMELY picky when it comes to his salsa. At every Mexican restaurant we go to, he has some complaint about their salsa. It’s either too chunky, has too many onions, isn’t salty enough, etc. Well for Christmas last year I bought myself a food processor. Hard to believe that as much as […]

Layered Tex-Mex Dip

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

This recipe is yet another that is somewhat of a mixture of several recipes that I liked, but I kicked them up another level by adding my own twists. This is probably one of my absolutely FAVORITE dips of all time. No traditional Mexican layered dip comes close to the flavor that you get out […]
