Mexican Layer Dip

This recipe and photo come from The Pioneer Woman's website. If you haven't checked it out, you really should. It's wonderful. I made a couple changes, but mostly used her ingredients. For the pico I went to Costa Vida & they sold me a container of it for about $4. I think it added a lot. :)

Ingredients

• 1 can Refried Beans
• Tabasco Sauce, To Taste
• 1 can Diced Green Chilies
• Ground Cumin (to Taste)
• ¾ cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 1 cup Guacamole
• ¾ cups Monterey Jack Cheese
• 1 can Black Olives
• 1 cup Pico De Gallo

Preparation Instructions

Begin by throwing the refried beans into a small pan over medium-low heat. Add several dashes of Tabasco sauce and a small can of (undrained) diced green chilies. Stir well. Next, sprinkle a little bit of ground Cumin.

Spread the beans on the bottom of a glass bowl or high-sided dish. Over this sprinkle the sharp cheddar. Next, plop your sour cream. And spread it into a single layer, being careful not to disturb the cheese underneath.

The next layer is the guacamole. Spread it over the sour cream. Follow this with a layer of Monterey Jack Cheese and a nice sprinkling of chopped black olives. Lastly, place a generous layer of Pico de Gallo. You can also, if you have the gumption for it, sprinkle some diced jalapenos over top.

Enjoy!

Pizza Factory Breadsticks

Dough:
Rhodes rolls--2 per breadstick

Glaze:
2-3 Tbsp melted butter
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dill weed

18" bamboo skewers (or some kind of big skewers)

Let dough rise. Then knead two rolls together and roll into a thin rope. Twist the rope around the skewer and hang on a cake pan (you can place them on a greased cookie sheet, but they'll have flat marks on the bottom when they're done baking). Repeat till all dough is used. Let twists rise till doubled. While they are baking, combine the glaze ingredients so the flavors will blend. Bake twists at 375 for about 12-15 minutes or till golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with the butter glaze. Try not to drool. :)

Notes:
-You could add some canned parmesan cheese to the glaze if you want.
-If you don't have skewers and are just twisting your dough ropes together, they will need to bake longer because they will be fatter.

Black Bean and Rice Soup with Lime and Cilantro

(makes 6 servings, can be doubled for larger Crock pot or stovetop cooking, recipe created by Kalyn's Kitchen)

2 cans black beans with liquid
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned chicken broth
(use 2 cups for stovetop cooking)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic (or more)
1 T ground cumin
1 T dried oregano
1 tsp. ground chile powder
1/4 tsp. ground Chipotle chile powder (I omitted this)
1/4 cup white long-grain rice (not more!)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 limes)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or more)

In small Crockpot or 3 quart sauce pan, combine beans, tomatoes, chicken stock, onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, chile powder and Chipotle chile powder. Cook on low for 6-8 hours in Crockpot or 1-2 hours on stove, until tomatoes are disintegrating and beans are starting to fall apart. On stovetop, you might need to add a little water during the cooking time. When soup has reached the consistency you want, raise heat slightly or turn Crockpot to high. Add 1/4 rice and cook until rice is done, about 30 minutes for either Crockpot or stove. Lower heat again, add fresh lime juice and cilantro and cook 5 minutes. Serve hot, with additional fresh lime pieces for each person to squeeze into soup.

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 box instant vanilla pudding (make & store in refrigerator)
Chocolate frosting (store bought is easy!)

Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball

I substitute Heath bar chips for the nuts. Use Nilla wafer crackers and chocolate or honey graham cracker sticks to dip with.

8 oz. cream cheese, must be softened!
1/2 c. butter, must be softened!
1/2 tsp vanilla (if using real vanilla I would only use 1/4 tsp)
1 1/4 c. powdered sugar
3 Tbs. brown sugar
1 bag mini chocolate chips (must be the mini size, regular do not work for this)
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts or pecans
Cookies or sweet crackers to dip with

In medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add sugars; beat just until combined. Stir in 3/4 c. chocolate chips and 1/2 c. chopped nuts. Place on large piece of plastic wrap and form into a ball, wrap up and refrigerate for at least two hours so it can harden up a little bit. Just before serving, roll cheese ball in the remaining mini chocolate chips.

Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

With this recipe I use the dough setting on my bread machine. It’s way easy—just add the ingredients in the order listed and it does all the work! If you don't have a bread machine, mix the water and yeast together and let it dissolve. Then add the remaining ingredients and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled. The thing that makes this recipe really good is the caramel on the bottom of the pan. You really could use any cinnamon roll recipe and then add the caramel to the bottom. For frosting I usually just cheat and buy whatever cream cheese frosting is on sale!

Dough:
1 cup warm water (110 degrees f)
1 egg
3 cups bread flour
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons instant powdered milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon instant yeast

Caramel:
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup brown sugar

Filling:
1/2 cup butter, softened (for spreading)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions:
1. Place water, egg, bread flour, white sugar, powdered milk, salt, 5 tablespoons butter and yeast in bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select DOUGH setting, and turn machine on.
2. Meanwhile; in a small saucepan, melt 1/3 cut butter. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and ice cream; bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour caramel into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees c)
4. When machine has finished cycling remove dough from pan and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough into a rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Crumble 1/2 cup brown sugar over the top. Roll up, and seal edge. Cut into 12 rolls, and place in prepared pan of caramel. allow to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees c) for approximately 20 to 25, until golden brown.
