Recipes including dips and sauces. This includes anything from salad dressing to hummus to salsa.
I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise. I make quite a few recipes without it. A lot of the time you can just omit the mayonnaise entirely and not really miss a beat. But, mayonnaise is a critical ingredient of tartar sauce! Without it you’re […]
I am a big fan of slow cooker black beans. It might take 8 hours to make. But it’s an entirely hands off version of cooking beans that doesn’t mean that you have to soak them overnight or watch a pot slowly simmer for hours! […]
I’m plum out of avocado dip. It’s one of my favorite things to make lately. Any brief scroll through my posts over the last couple of months and you’ll see it absolutely everywhere! I can’t get enough of it and constantly keep my pantry stocked […]
IntI spent all of last year making enchilada sauce! And I have finally gotten to the point where my peppers and tomatoes are ripening. Wisconsin had a horrendous spring this year with snow in April and frost well into May! So, all of the slow […]
I am a huge fan of making avocado dip. Over the last couple of weeks or maybe even months at this point, I’ve made it almost a dozen times! So, I’ve been making a big potluck batch. What I ordinarily do is just double my […]

I can almost blame Costco on this one. I was walking through the produce section and the avocados were actually ripe. Not bright green and would take days to get there. Not too browned and inevitably turned to sludge on the inside. But perfectly ripe, […]
I am a big fan of slow cooking beans in the crock pot. There are plenty of ways to make beans. You can soak them overnight and simmer on the stove for hours or attempt your hand at perfectly guessing the water and time ratios […]
I have been obsessed with this avocado dip lately. With a mix of avocados, tahini, and Greek yogurt? I’ve been calling it a cross between hummus and guacamole. I am very quickly going through all of my tahini, though! So, I decided to mix it […]
