Warm Jalapeno Dip

With the holidays in full swing,

sometimes you need a fast, throw-together-appetizer

for your guests . . .

or dinner for your family!

Sometimes, during the holiday, that's what my family gets to eat for dinner!

Some quick appetizer!
Hey! Don't knock it! At least they're getting food!

You may even want to make it for your "family movie night!"

It's that easy!

Warm Jalapeno Popper Dip

1 package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4-6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
3-5 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped (depends on your jalapeno flavor "want!")
1/2 cup crushed ritz crackers or panko crumbs
2 TBSP melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and mayonnaise together. Stir in the cheddar cheese and jalapenos. If you are wanting a bit of heat, leave some of the seeds in your cheese mixture.

In a small bowl, mix the cracker crumbs and butter together.

Place the cream cheese mixture in a small baking dish or pie plate. Top with the cracker mixture.

Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until thoroughly heated, bubbly, and golden brown on top.

Serve hot with tortillas chips.

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

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

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. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man! That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . . .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
