Everything Bagel Dip
Everything Bagel Dip is everything you love about your favorite everything bagel but without the bagel… I know cheesy. Thank you Trader Joes! If you have followed me for long I am sure you know I have a special place in my heart for Trader Joes. I love their flowers, their produce, their spices, seasonal offerings and of course their wine. As for their spices though my favorite (behind their pumpkin spice blend which is AMAZING) is their Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning. It is loaded with onion, sea salt, garlic and sesame seeds. If you do not have a TJ’s close to you I highly suggest you order…

Pimento Cheese Spread
A MUST MAKE (& it is KETO friendly) Pimento cheese is very special to me. My MeeMaw always made the most amazing pimento cheese. She always had it for us every time we came to the farm.It was always so rich and creamy. Maybe I love it it is because she made it or maybe it is the cheese but whatever it is I DO SO LOVE IT! To make this favorite even better it is KETO/Low Carb friendly. Not only is it a favorite but I can enjoy it anytime I want while sticking to my KETO lifestyle. Now that is a WIN WIN! A Master’s Tradition Pimento cheese is also special because it is one…

Roasting it makes it so much better
I am so excited the weekend is here. Fall is starting to filter in, baseball playoffs are getting exciting and football is what the weekends are all about. To make this weekend something to remember you have to try this Roasted Salsa Verde. Green is better (in my opinion) My favorite salsa has always been a green salsa. I love the hint of tang the tomatillos bring with a little heat and freshness of lime in each bite. I judge Mexican food restaurants by their green sauce. If I want to pour it all over anything and everything then it is a good restaurant. Roasting is the…

Bring on a little fiesta Have a last minute get together this afternoon or evening? Tired of the same ole boring ranch dip that you make for every party? I know I am, and so a few weeks ago I decided to spice things up…

Summer is not over…yet
I know, I know summer is coming to an end. If you go to any store you are already seeing fall and pumpkins starting to invade all the aisles. (Although I kinda love everything pumpkin so I am ok with that part). But in my part of the world it is still in the 90’s, feeling like to 100’s, and I am still craving light but super flavorful dishes. This Jalapeño Lime Sauce is all that and SO MUCH MORE! Just a little heat (unless you want more) I know Jalapeño is in the name, but don’t worry it is not super spicy. The trick to this sauce is…

a little queso fun at home
Whether you plan on celebrating with a big party or a simple dinner for the family this Queso Blanco is a MUST MAKE! Just trust me it really, really is. My most favorite (& that is saying a lot) I am not sure there are enough words in my vocabulary to express my love for queso. I judge restaurants by their level of queso. To make it great it has to be rich, creamy, not too thick and not too thin, with a little heat to make it the perfect bite. One of my most favorite queso’s I have ever had was actually from a cheesesteak place here in…

In my family bacon…

skinny but oh so blue cheese dip
Do you love dip? I LOVE DIP! Every party I have, whether big or small, there is always a dip of some sort. Sometimes I will have the traditional ranch dip (or this amped up version), sometimes a dill pickle dip and sometimes something sweet to go with fruit. Skinny and so GOOD This year for the Big Game I am going to be making A Skinny Blue Cheese dip. This dip will not only be delicious with veggies and chips but it will also pair GREAT with these Skinny Buffalo Tenders. So what makes it skinny, you ask? Well, to start with I use nonfat greek yogurt mixed with reduced…

no more ranch packets needed
What is your favorite salad dressing? Are you Italian all the way? Are you a thousand island fan? Maybe blue cheese? Even better are you a fan of the great Caesar? For me…I am a fan of all listed but my favorite go to is the good ole standby…ranch. There is just something so comforting about this good ole standby especially when its all homemade!! Not only do I like it for ranch dressing but I am also a fan of it for dips, as a seasoning…really in any way possible. I have been known to use it on chicken or pork chops to add some herby goodness and also on some…
