Bacon Blue Cheese Dip
I don’t know where I found this recipe, but it makes a great dip. Someone tried on their burger at a BBQ and declared it wonderful.

Baked Nachos
This is surprisingly simple and so delicious! I first had baked nachos from a little hole-in-the-wall burrito place in Santa Clara, whose name escapes me now. They had great burritos though, and this was what they made of nachos!

Carmelized Onion and Bacon Dip
This is a fantastic appetizer recipe gleaned from an advertising circular. The ad called for using Karo syrup, which I omitted quite readily.

Non-dairy French Onion Dip
Looking for something I can bring to parties that also won’t kill me. I found this recipe at brand new vegan who seems to have similar ideas. As you’ll see, though, this turned non-vegan in a twist at the end.

Refridgerator Pickles
I haven’t actually tried this recipe yet, but I love me some pickles, so someday I will do this.

Seven Layer Dip
This makes a great apetizer for parties. This amount will make 3 pie plates worth.

Simple Nachos
In contrast to BakedNachos, this is a much simpler recipe, good for those munchie emergencies. Seriously, the longest bit of time for this recipe is probably shredding the cheese if you don’t buy it pre-shredded. These make for a serious quick snack fix good for watching TV.
