Half-a-Cup dip

Blue Cheese, Sweet Pecan, and Cranberry Spread Recipe


OU is playing in a bowl game tonight.

We are headed to our friend's house to whoop watch the game.

It should be fun  . . .

we will have some Sooner fans and some Aggie fans all in one room!

We are all bringing finger foods/appetizers for dinner.

I hate meals like that . . .

I always eat too much because everything tastes so good!

I'm taking some cold dips and sliders and other fun things,

but one of the dips I am taking is a new one.

I wanted something a little different, so I went to google and listed the ingredients I wanted in my dip and viola! 

Here's the recipe I choose!

I made one little change to it.

Oh!  I renamed it too.

For credit sake, I don't remember where I found it -- maybe the Kraft website.

Half-a-Cup Dip

4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz blue cheese crumbles (gluten free blue cheese for those needing it!)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 TBSP finely chopped purple onion, optional (that's my addition)

In a medium sized bowl, place the cream cheese, blue cheese, cranberries, pecans, and onion.  Mix well. 

Refrigerate for the flavors to blend.

Serve with crackers or sliced Granny Smith apples or pears (especially if you didn't put the onion in it!)
**I added the finely chopped onion AND served it with the apples . . . .it was a hit!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
