So I haven’t entered a post nor a recipe in some time now. Lots of cooking, celebrating , company and now it is time to get back on course. The party was a success. 60 guests and no one complained about the food or drink. I am sharing the menu and will share additional recipes soon. I mix do aheads( freezing and doing the day before), lasts minutes (keep these to a minimum) and a touch of store bought ( I can make marinated olives myself but why should I do it all.) I like to pick my battles. If I pick less make aheads and have to do lots of last minutes that mean I have to rely on good quality products to step in for me. I don’t like to do that 1. it isn’t mine and 2. it can cost more and then the budget is a mess. I don’t like either of those things. I can be a little on the controlling side and those both rub me the wrong way.

This is the easiest, most flavorful dips you can offer your family and friends. I looks like you spend big when the shrimp go along way. ( The shrimp cost $5.00 at WalMart for a 12 OZ pkg and you use half of it.) AND it is beautiful! Although that is not how it appears in my photo. My husband started in on it while I was getting my phone to take a photo. I will replace this photo when I make it again.

THE best vegie dip I have found over these many years is right here. I have been serving this for the past 25 years and it never seems to get a bad review.
Mexican Black Bean Dip
Another Black Bean Dip recipe your thinking. I say you betcha because this one is a touch different. Plus all of my favorite food groups (that would be all of them if you added a chocolate cookie).
This started with leftover ingredients after a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta and has stuck around lo these many years.
