Tex Mex Layered Dip

 This layer dip is a popular appetizer, everywhere you go. Layers of guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese and favourite toppings, create a colourful appetizer perfect for Super Bowl Sunday, or any party/occasion.

We are big snackers in my house. Especially when it comes to watching sports. I was never really into sports until I started dating my SO almost 4 yrs ago. Now you can find me on the couch rooting for my favourite teams, for hockey and football. To make watching sports more enjoyable, I make sure to have yummy snacks on hand. Some weekends it's a Charcuterie Board, other weekends it's spinach dip in pumpernickle. But Super Bowl is a time to feast!! Since we will not be able to get together with my SO's family this year to watch the game, I am in charge of our menu. 

My kids really love this dip, so I'm sure it will make an appearance on our table this coming Sunday. It is super simple to make, and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. Similar to 7 layer dip, mine includes layers the whole family loves. If it were up to me I'd add refried beans, black beans and olives. But to please everyone our dip only has 5 layers.



Tex Mex Layered Dip

2 ripe avocados
juice of 1 lime
pinch of sea salt
4 oz light cream cheese, softened
1/2 C light sour cream
1 Tbs taco seasoning
1 1/2 C shredded cheese (we like marble cheddar)
1- 16oz jar of medium salsa
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tbs canned green chilis
1 bag of tortilla chips

Cut the avocados in half, length wise, and gently twist to open. Carefully remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado flesh with the lime juice and a pinch of sea salt. Spread mixture into the bottom of a clear glass bowl.

Using the same mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sour cream, until smooth. Mix in taco seasoning, until well blended. Spread this mixture over the avocado mixture, in your clear glass bowl.

Sprinkle 3/4 C of cheese over the sour cream mixture. Spread your jar of salsa over the shredded cheese and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Sprinkle the chopped green onion over top the second layer of cheese and sprinkle with green chilis. Refrigerate until ready to serve and serve with your favourite tortilla chips.

PIN IT!!!

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
