Taco Dip

Good morning,

Well I spent my Tuesday, working on cookies for the Blog Cookie Swap, still not sure what I want to make.  I did create a cookie that tastes pretty awesome, I’ll share the recipe with you at a later date, I want to get more opinions to see what they think before I share it with you.

Every week I like to create a dip, so I have something to nibble on throughout the day.  This week I created a yummy, easy taco dip.  I had it on my chicken wrap and I also dipped my veggies into it.  Tomorrow I’ll be making a Mexican type Burger, so I’ll be using my dip on that too!

I just love snacky foods, especially when you can use them for more then one purpose.  I bet this dip would be good on a baked potato too!

This dip has a slight kick to it, but you can give it more of a kick if you like by adding more jalapenos or spicy salsa.

You could also double batch this recipe and use it for a holiday party or football party.  If serving at a party I would top it with cheese, maybe some black olives and some diced tomatoes.  Serve it with some nacho chips or pita chips.

So today will be Thanksgiving prep, well making my stuffing and cranberry sauce.  This year it’s just my Husband and I. 🙁   We will have a lot of food leftover so be prepared for left over recipes, unless he eats all the turkey!  But the stuffing is mine, Baby!  Whats your favorite Thanksgiving Dish?  As you can tell mine is stuffing!!

Have a great day!  I’m off to Trader Joe’s for the 100th time this week!
