Basic Hot Bean Dip

We are trying to use up food we have in the freezer to get ready for the move to Tennessee (more on that later).  We had some pinto beans in there that I made a while ago and I remembered I tweaked and toned some bean dip recipes to make a killer dip.  So I got it out and decided I wanted to make the bean dip but I also wanted to have a nice table salad with it so we could pick what we wanted to have on top. 

We went to Trader Joe's yesterday and got some avocado, green onions and tomatoes.  I already had some onions to grill, purple onion and black olives so all that became the table salad.

It was tremendous so I wanted to share it with you.

​The recipe is under Apps and Snacks.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Fried Rice

Fried Rice is something everyone needs to know how to cook, it's fairly easy and is always a crowd pleaser.  I make it different every time depending on what food I have on hand to put into it.  You need to have rice that is already cooled or else it won't work.  Cut up the veggies ahead of time and you're doing well.  This is a little time consuming but after you do it a couple of times it gets really easy.  You can add any meat you happen to have on hand.

Do Ahead:
1.  Cook the rice and cool.  Needs to be cooled.
2.  Prep the onions and carrots
3.  Scramble the eggs

What You Need:
3-4          c.           Cooked Brown Rice
2             TB         Oil – or less if you want
1                           Onion – Diced
2-3          cl.          Garlic
3                           Carrots – Sliced Diagonally (Or Whatever)
1              c.          Peas or Snow Peas
1             TB         Soy Sauce
1 ½         tsp.        Sesame Oil
3-4                       Eggs – Scrambled

What You Do:
1.  Heat a Wok or large pan big enough to mix stuff around in.
2.  Pour oil in Wok and let get hot.
3.  Add the Onions and cook about 5 min.
4.  Add the Carrots and cook another 5 min. or so
5.  Add the Garlic and Peas and cook another 5 min. or so
6.  Add the Rice, Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil and stir all around.
7.  Add the Scrambled Eggs and then serve.
