Sweet Heat Apricot Dip

While the parties may be over,

football bowl games are not!

Perhaps you're having a few of your favorite people over to watch your team win . . .

or in our case, lose!

It'll be a sad game tonight!

But while the game may not be too much fun,

this dip will be great to have as people arrive and stand around the kitchen!

It's super easy and there's no measuring!

Just mix it up until it tastes good to you and serve!

I love recipes like that, don't you?

Sweet Heat Apricot Dip

1- 8oz cream cheese, softened
2-4 TBSP Apricot preserves, (really it's to taste)
2-4 TBSP Sweet jalapenos, chopped (really, it's to taste again.  "Best Maid" is the brand I buy)

In a bowl, with a mixer, cream the softened cream cheese until smooth.  Add the amount of apricot preserves.  Start with 2 TBSP and go from there.  Add in and mix until well incorporated. 

Begin by adding in 1 TBSP of the chopped sweet jalapenos and mix well.  Add more if you'd like more sweet heat, add in additional peppers and mix well.

Chill until ready to serve.

Serve with tortilla chips or buttery crackers.  If you're gluten free, select an appropriate chip or cracker to serve with the dip.

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! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

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
