Did you know the way to a man’s heart is through seven layer dip? Seriously. Superbowl Sunday is days away and football fans everywhere will be dipping tortilla chips in guacamole, salsa, and refried beans.
Seven layer dip is the best of all worlds. The dip itself is very easy to make especially if you buy pre-made guacamole and salsa.
Instead of preparing the dip in a large platter I decide to make individual sized portions. This way I can pull them out of the fridge as needed. If you’re looking for an easy and fun dip to celebrate Superbowl Sunday or any party, look no further. Enjoy! [click to continue…]

Inspired by one of Seattle’s most beloved fine dining restaurants, one of my favorite salads I make at home is an avocado shrimp salad. Each element perfectly pairs with each other. I just love the creaminess of sliced avocado with fresh shrimp. The dill in the 1000 island dressing adds just enough tartness to the shrimp without overpowering. I typically make this salad when company comes over although it is easy enough to make for any lunch or dinner. I love this salad because of its simplicity and how elegant it looks on a plate.

Do you love hummus? Have you ever tried making it at home? If you have, then you know how ridiculously easy, fast, and delicious it is. You can make hummus in less than 5 minutes. Homemade hummus taste just like those expensive containers you buy at the store, except better and for a fraction of the cost!
The last few weeks my husband and I have been trying to eat a little healthier around here. Because we’re usually up late every night, we get the munchies for junk food. So lately I’ve been making healthier alternatives to our late night snacking. This includes homemade hummus I use as a dip for celery, snap peas, and carrot sticks. I’ve also used it as a spread for veggie sandwiches and it is awesome!
Most people may not be aware how simple it is to make hummus. It’s made with garbanzo beans (chickpeas), tahini (sesame paste), and a few other ingredients you probably have in your pantry. Hummus is a versatile dip/spread perfect for vegetables, crackers, or as a filling inside a pita. [click to continue…]

Yesterday I showed you how to make an easy pico de gallo. Today I’m introducing you to her cousin, easy guacamole. What I love about this recipe is the fact you basically make pico de gallo and add some to mashed ripened avocados. I told you it was easy! It’s like getting 2-for-1. And the guacamole is good…. really good.
True story – I’ve been making guacamole like this for years. I typically would make a batch of pico de gallo and use some of it to make guacamole. I thought I was being clever and resourceful. After all, I hadn’t seen [click to continue…]
