7 Layer Taco Dip For Fabulous Parties!

Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday, and it dawned on me I haven’t shared much party food. For get-togethers and large gatherings, today’s recipe is always a hit and disappears fast.This taco dip is so tasty people tender to just stand there eating until it’s gone. I suggest you serve it with fresh vegetables like carrot sticks and celery sticks, and tortilla chips. It also goes well with crackers or pita chips. I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for lower fat and calories; it’s a great replacement for anything calling for sour cream. The lettuce adds a nice crunch to the mostly creamy dip. The recipe as written is vegetarian.

Maple Pecan Shortbread Squares

Today I’d like to share my first recipe of 2025. It’s an easy and quick treat for special occasions as well as everyday. Today’s recipe is a tasty shortbread with maple syrup, brown sugar, and pecan flavors. The shortbread is pressed into a parchment-lined 8″ x 8″ baking dish to bake. While the it’s baking, beat an egg in a mixing bowl along with 1/3 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Pour the pecan mixture over the hot crust, and return to the oven.

Halloween Spider Eggs

Today’s treat is another fun food art for your Halloween gatherings – Deviled eggs decorated with black olive spiders.  Like last Monday’s recipe for Monster Eyes, use your favorite deviled egg recipe or mine.  If you want a gross monster look, add a few drops of green food coloring to the egg yolk filling. I’m not crazy about food coloring, and I stayed with the traditional yellow filling. I think it’s still fun. Cut your eggs in half lengthwise and fill with your deviled egg mixture.
