7 Layer Cream Cheese Dip Recipe

This 7 layer dip recipe is one that I have been making for so many years that I cannot even remember when I first discovered it. It has become one of my own special party buffet dishes and one that I am often requested to create.

 There is always at least one function each year that I am asked (or should I say told) to bring this dip to. If I do not come through I discover there are a lot of upset people at the party looking to satisfy their craving for my dip. It's the abundance of flavor that takes this appetizer so unique.

 The Dip (as we call it) is multi-functional and can be used with chips, breads, or virtually any variety of cracker. It's even good on its own. Personally I prefer my dip with Ritz Crackers or Wheat Thins while my husband enjoys his with Veggie Thins. Perhaps you have something different that you would like to try it with. I'm sure it will taste great with just about anything. It is so good the seven layer dip is almost a meal in itself.

 Here Are Your Seven Ingredients:
1. Cream Cheese

 2. Sour Cream

 3. Mayonnaise

 4. Seafood Sauce

 5. Green Pepper

 6. Tomatoes

 7. Shredded Cheddar Cheese

 And Directions for the Seven Layer Dip Recipe

 1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup (block) of softened cream cheese

 1. Blend these first 3 ingredients together. Once the cream cheese is in smaller pieces you can use a hand mixer to help get rid of the chunks and make the base more smooth. Spread this onto the bottom of a cookie sheet or into a dish that doesn't have high sides.

 2. Now spread this next ingredient on top of the first layer. 1-2 small bottles of a seafood sauce (I use mild).

 3. Dice up the peppers and tomatoes (how many depends on how large you dice them and how many you would like to add to your recipe). Then sprinkle the diced vegetables over the last topping to create the next layer. 1-2 Green Peppers 1-3 Tomatoes

 4. I grate my cheese on the fine part of the grater to make the cheese easier to scoop. The grated cheese I use is marble, but you can use cheddar, mozza, you name it!

 5. Spread the cheese on top of the peppers and tomatoes, and VOILA! You are done your masterpiece of a 7 layer dip!​It is a Fabulous Party Appetizer

 Kids birthdays, get together with friends, sporting events, you name it! This seven layer dip will go great at any party you have.

Lazy Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe

Just like grandma used to make - Well maybe not quite. Cabbage rolls were pretty much a standard meal when company visited my Grandmother's house. My grandma was an amazing cook and could always find the time to prepare the most scrumptious meals and desserts. Those days almost seem like a thing of the past but we can still have the same great flavour in our meals just like she prepared back then. She had a huge garden and was used to cooking for a large family so she knew the most economical meals to prepare when the need arose. Her being of Ukrainian heritage perhaps helped just a wee bit in her selection of this recipe as well. My recipe is similar in taste to hers but by cutting the preparation time I am able to make and fit these meals into my family's busy lives. My lazy girl cabbage roll casserole recipe is so quick to create yet is made without sacrificing any of the great flavour that we are used to. Let's face facts, you just cannot get that great homemade

Homemade Baby Food: Carrots, Sweet Potato, Peas

Healthy eating habits begin early. We all want our babies to get the best possible nutrition without also ingesting all of those famous preservatives, additives, and colors that can be added into foods without us being any the wiser. Well knowing exactly what baby is ingesting is half the battle on that front. The good news is that you can go organic in the foods that your child eats. There are two ways to do this, you can purchase ready made organic baby food or make your own. When purchasing the organic baby food jars you can pay quite a hefty price per jar and for what reason? Can we truly trust everything in those jars to be just as healthy as they suggest it to be? Once they add in preservatives, salt, and sugar the healthy nature of that organic baby food flies right out the window. Shop the vegetable shelves at your grocery market instead. Buy organic vegetables and fruits and make your own baby foods so you can be 100% sure what gets put into your little one's tummy.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling From Scratch

Image
This page contains my famous pumpkin pie filling recipe which today I will be turning into pumpkin tarts.  I have adapted it many times over the years to refine it ideally to suit my finicky taste buds and those who have tried it say my pies are fabulous. As a bonus I'll also share my seasoned pumpkin seeds recipe as well.  Although many people seem to think that a pumpkin's innards are simply too inconvenient to harvest into an edible food trust me when I say that just isn't true. From tarts, loafs, soups and even pumpkin spiced drinks, this fruit can be adapted to pretty much anything you put your mind to turning it into. This tasty fruit is in abundance in the autumn months and very reasonable in price. Almost everyone acquires one around Halloween. So enjoy your Jack-O-Lantern but please give pumpkin credit also as a fruit and enjoy its innards rather than tossing them away. What a waste of good food that truly is.
