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

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!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
