BLT Dip

Mix ingredients and dip with desired chips, bread or crackers.

BLT Dip
2 cups sour cream
2 cups mayonnaise
1 lb. cooked, crumbled bacon
6 large plum tomatoes, chopped (chopped cherry/grape tomatoes work too)
2 green onions, chopped

Spinach Dip

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight.  To serve, hollow out a round loaf of sour-dough bread and spoon dip inside.  Cut bread from loaf top/inside into pieces for dipping.  Crackers, french bread or rye bread work well for dipping too.

Spinach Dip
1 pkg CHOPPED frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 pkg Knorr vegetable soup/dip mix
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
3 green onions, chopped
1 small can water chestnuts, chopped (optional)

Assortment of crackers and/breads for dipping.

Red Dip

This dip is about as cheesy as they come.  It's name is sophisticated and well thought out and it helps a potato chip transform into something even more fattening.  Awesome.  There's just something about the ketchup and potato chip that belong together and I challenge you to eat just one.  Or ten.  And we're not even potato-chip-people.  I only buy potato chips a couple times a year and it's strictly to make this dip.

Brace yourself.  You may need to reread the instructions to get it right the first time.

Red Dip
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 bottle Heinz Chili Sauce

Mix.

Dip.  Eat.


*Any kind of cream cheese works.  Use neufchatel  cheese instead of the full fat cream cheese to make yourself feel better.

Basic Breading

These are the basic ingredients I use for breading and baking or sauteing chicken and fish.  I mix larger quantities during lent as we use it on fish each Friday.  Pour only the amount you know you will use on a plate.  You can always add more, but you will have to toss anything leftover after the raw meat touches it. 

Seasoned Bread Crumbs

20 Townhouse crackers, crushed (about 1/2 sleeve)...any butter cracker

2 Tbs bread crumbs

1/2 tsp cracked pepper

1 Tbs dried parsley

1 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese

*I have to be honest, I wouldn't measure any of this on any given day.  I did measure and use the above quantities for a recipe and it was tasty.  Feel free to dump away.  You can't mess this one up.  I do know that these are the ingredients that are dumped in when making breading.  I like to avoid dishes at all costs ~ we have no dishwasher.  Poor me, I know.

*recipe will bread 3 large chicken breasts or 3 large pieces of fish
