I’ve been wanting to share this great dip I made the other day. I adapted it from one featured in the January edition of Southern Living Magazine. Have I told you how much I {heart} Southern Living Magazine? I have? Okay well you get to hear it again. I LOVE Southern Living Magazine!
So the original sounds so delicious and I will share that recipe with you as well, but I had to adapt the recipe for ingredients I had on hand well…because we had a snow storm and Bama Boy didn’t find dip a compelling reason to venture out in ice and snow. I tell ya what though, I was really pleased with my version of the dip! So maybe you can give both a try and tell me which one ya like better. Or you could just make mine…and I’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside cause you think my dip is as good as Southern Living’s. Either way make this dip…you’ll love it!

stuff and nonsense
You know, I JUST had a finger food potluck thingie to attend. I wish I had seen this beforehand. It would have been a good thing to bring. I could have pretended that I was a good cook because it looks delicious and easy.
Have files.
Will save.
That looks so good. I can just imagine how awesome it must taste. Maybe I’ll try this one this weekend. Thanks so much for your kind comments on my mudroom. I’m pretty excited about how good it came out…especially since there was a little drama with the wallpaper and the wall being bowed.
OH MY WORD, this sounds delicious! I love all kinds of dips. I will be putting this on my to make list:)
YUM!! Such a great alternative to the regular queso dip (the one that comes in the rectangular box). We will be trying it this weekend!
