Creamy Bacon Dip

Judging a 4-H Region Food Show has nice side benefits including getting great recipes. This dip was often looked over on a buffet table until one person tasted it, and then it was hard to keep it replenished. All the olives and bacon in a cream cheese mayonnaise mixture make it one of the best dips for vegetables. The recipe did not win the show, but it is a winner in my book. Enjoy!

    Thanksgiving Menu- Decadent Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Au Gratin

    We made Decadent Mashed Potatoes very often at Sweets & Eats. Mainly because they never seized up and got hard. That is a boon if you want to make them ahead of time for a Take and Bake or make them the day before for a busy meal. It is full of calories with cream cheese, sour cream, butter and everything you dream about! But it’s Thanksgiving, so go ahead, splurge and enjoy!

    As you know, I am not a fan of canned soups.  So Green Bean Casserole is not a highlight of our Thanksgiving meal.  Then I found the recipe for Green Beans Au Gratin.  It is the perfect substitute with a creamy, cheese sauce and it can be topped with canned onion rings if you wish.  Yes, it is a little more trouble but it is worth it,  Enjoy!
