Pico de Gallo, the fresh, spicy, Mexican salsa, is one of my family’s favorite snacks almost every day of the year. This is the ultimate fresh salsa and once you learn how to make Pico de Gallo, I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as we do. For many years, I avoided making my own salsas. The recipes seemed complicated, or I just didn’t care much for the homemade salsas that I had tried. We are admittedly, somewhat picky about our...
My kids went nuts over these chickpeas. Between the three of them, they ate the entire batch (about two cups worth) in less than 10 minutes. After I saw how many they were eating, I decided to call that lunch. I just added some veggies and dip and they were happy with their snacky meal. I roasted these on a whim the other day because I keep seeing food bloggers talking about roasted chickpeas. I’m not sure why I thought that roasting them...
Packed full of crushed pepper and loaded with fresh dill, this dressing is a great addition to our usual dressings and dips for our raw vegetables. Just pourable enough for a salad and also thick enough for a dip, I’ve eaten this dressing on four salads already. My boys both gave it two thumbs up and asked if they could please have a veggie plate, regardless of the fact it was 9am. I’m planning to make a chopped salad for lunch...
Sriracha Tomato and Onion Dip is one of the most irresistible dips I have ever tasted. The spicy hot sauce and chile powder are balanced by the coolness of the tomatoes and sour cream. This dip was an instant hit with Sean and my oldest son the first time I made it and they didn’t stop talking about it for a few days. The dip has a much spicier flavor than I am normally drawn to; however, each time I make it, I find myself repeatedly...
When I was making oven fries last week, I finally remembered to make Chris‘ Po’dunk Sauce (thus named, because you ‘dunk’ your ‘po’-tatoes in it) to try with them. After waiting so many months to try his recipe, I’ve already made it again. This recipe is definitely a keeper.Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign me up!We never share your information with third parties and will protect it in accordance with...
In honor of a new recipe that I am very excited to share tomorrow afternoon, I am sharing this dipping sauce today. I’m not typically a mustard loving girl and I really enjoyed this sauce. Just a hint of honey to sweeten it and it goes well with just about anything. My kids have been dipping their vegetables into it all week and they’ve already requested that I make it again. The flavors in this dressing improve after...
Quick and easy, this was a simple dipping sauce that I made the other night to go along with our Cinnamon Chile Roasted Potato Bites. It was gone all too quickly and the kids asked me to make more of it for next time.Get New Recipessent to your inbox!Sign me up!We never share your information with third parties and will protect it in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

A few months ago, while visiting my sister, she gave me a jar of dried diced jalapenos that she bought impulsively and then forgot she had. I was happy to have a new ingredient to play with and I decided to try making a spicy version of our favorite Homemade Ranch Dip. This dip turned out fantastically well. Spicy and tangy with just enough heat from the jalapenos to leave a bite in the back of your throat. I had never used dried jalapenos...
These simple meatballs (I can’t seem to stop calling them meatballs, whether there is meat in them or not!) made a great meal for the kids and I earlier this week. Simple pinto beans, rice and a handful of spices combined to create a surprisingly delicious lunch. I have seen numerous recipes for bean and rice burgers and I just couldn’t imagine what that would taste like. I was fairly suspicious of the combination, so I figured I would...
This is a creamy, tangy ranch dip loaded with as many fresh herbs as I could stir into it. Fresh lemon juice provides the tang of buttermilk and the flavor is far beyond anything you could buy at the store. Even with the time spent chopping all the fresh ingredients, this recipe still came together in less than 15 minutes. There is nothing like an abundance of fresh herbs to inspire a bit more creativity in the kitchen. One of the...
