This time around it wasn’t a cottage cheese base dip, but sour cream. AKA it was a dip thrown together to use up ingredients before they go bad! I mixed together equal parts sour cream and mayo. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and some paprika. I added finely chopped scallions and some lemon juice.Continue reading “Scallion Dip”

Take a can apple pie filling (21oz.) and chopped the apples into smaller chunks. I added some more sugar and cinnamon and mixed itContinue reading “Apple Hand Pies”
