    Refried beans smothered in salsa, guacamole, sour cream and topped with a layer of melted Cheddar cheese for the ultimate party dip! – – This is my take on a “seven layer dip”. Five layers gives me plenty of delicious goodness, and fits perfectly into a pie plate!  Of course it’s completely customizable, so feel free to swap layers or add back some of the others if they appeal to you! Here are my 5 layers: Refried beans (I get mine canned at Trader Joe’s) Salsa Guacamole (get the recipe, or you can always go with pre-made) Sour cream &…

Because the dip is cream cheese based (as one would…

    So today was game day!  D&D Sunday as they usually happen to be, and instead of going all out to make all of the food, we did a potluck!  It was wonderful–worked out perfectly.  Zack made jalapeno poppers, Matt made quiche, and Dustin brought brownies!  Tyler got away with nothing because he’s dating me, and I provided this awesome mediterranean dip!  Plus he’s the DM so he has more work to do than the rest of us when it  comes to preparing for D&D. This mediterranean dip recipe stems from Dara’s Healthy Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip over at Cookin’ Canuck, with a…
