Welcome!

Hello and Happy Independence Day! I found it appropriate to launch this new venture today. This is something I have been thinking on and working on for a little while now. God placed this on my heart and who am I to say no? :)


Thank you for visiting my humble blog. I intend to post new recipes and tips each week so be sure to check back. Please let me know what you think!

I felt it appropriate to share one of my "creations" that my family and friends will share today at our BBQ. It is a simple and thrifty bean dip with a kick. I hope you enjoy it!

Kickin' Hummus Dip

Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz. can Garbonzo beans, rinsed and drained
1-2 chipotle peppers, canned
2 cloves garlic, roughly minced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Cheese, sourcream, chopped onions and/or cilantro to garnish

In a food processor combine all the ingredients. (If you are sensitive to spicy foods, begin with a smaller pepper, blend and taste. The peppers have what I call a sneaky hot.) Blend until smooth to your liking. Garnish with your choice of options suggested or one of your own! Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, and veggies of your choice.


Happy cooking!


Love, Deann
