A Rare Recipe – For Vegetables or Chips
by admin on Oct.05, 2014, under Favorites
I rarely share recipes. I figure most people are more talented than I am in the kitchen. I do well, but I cook for myself what I like the way I like it so guess you could call me “experimentally challenged” when it comes to food.
I did resort back to an old recipe recently that I’ve been carrying around for almost 35 years and it was so good yet again that I figure it is WORTH a share. It’s great as a dip for vegetables (I favor cauliflower) but good with chips or pretzels, etc., too.
Since I got it from a very nice neighbor named Theresa when I was living in Hawaii, this is forever known as the “Theresa’s Dip” recipe.
~ 1 cup mayonnaise
~ 1 cup sour cream
~ 1 teaspoon Beau Monde
~ 1 teaspoon dill weed
~ 1 teaspoon onion flakes
~ 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
This makes a good quantity of dip so great if you’re heading out for a large gathering. If not, cut it in half and you’ll have plenty for a happy Sunday afternoon all by yourself!
Enjoy and don’t forget to share!!!

And another “bad” regarding fracking. The process uses a LOT of ground water so, why are they doing it in areas of drought or potential drought? Even if your well isn’t full of fracking chemicals, it might just run dry…
