Show Us Your Life...Recipes

Today at Kelly's Korner, the feature is appetizers...I thought that I would share a simple recipe that I take everywhere. It never fails to get rave reviews, and everyone marvels at how easy it is. It only has three--yes, I said 3!--ingredients. Here goes:

Easy Sausage Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 pound hot sausage
• 1-8 ounce block of cream cheese
• 1 can of Rotel (tomatoes with green chilies and spices)

Directions:

• Break up sausage and brown in frying pan (just like you would do for ground beef). Drain.
• In same pan, mix Rotel and cream cheese with sausage; place back on stove and melt.
• Voila! It's done!--it is equally good warm or at room temperature.
• Serve with tortilla chips.

I'm also including links to other appetizers that I like to make...

Buffalo Chicken Dip--This is my signature dish...Delicious!
Deviled Eggs--Interesting story about deviled eggs..I never would touch my mom's eggs...she tried for years to get me to eat them, but I "thought" that I didn't like them. I can't get enough of them now...I'm convinced that she is in heaven laughing her butt off about this one! Oh, the irony of life...
Seven Layer Bean Dip--I haven't met a bean that I don't like (much to my husband's chagrin!)
Hot Pizza Dip--Incredible, plus it can be made in the microwave...
Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips--Delicious but the chips are too much work! In the future, I will buy cinnamon chips..it's all about ease for me!

Enjoy!

Show Us Your Life

I decided to link up with Kelly's Korner for Show Us Your Life Main Dish Recipes. My family would probably vehemently disagree, but the older I get, the more I like to cook. I look to several sources for inspiration, but there are two that stand out. The Pioneer Woman has a lot of recipes that are relevant to our lifestyle. The ingredients are easy to find in small towns, and she gives great step-by-step instructions. She is getting her own show on Food Network this fall, and I cannot wait to see her in action. She seems like a fun down-to-earth lady. I love her cookbook, too...it is full of great food and pictures.

I also visit Allrecipes often. It is the best site dedicated to food that I have found. In fact, the majority of the food I cook comes from this easy-to-use site. I have listed just a few of my favorite main course meals.

Cajun Chicken Pasta

Burrito Pie

Chicken Taco Soup

Honey Grilled Shrimp

Sirloin Kabobs

Shrimp Scampi Bake

Bon Appetit!
