ugh, can you quick make me a dip please?

4 years ago

Daughter called and needs a dip to take to a function right after work. (she just found out about it) She knows I love to cook and bake, but I really did not have much in the house. I am home most days, since I do not work outside the home. So...…..It is refried bean, Velveeta cheese, hot dog Chili sauce. I must say turned out great! And know I have dinner made too! It is a win win combo. And she is lucky I love her. LOL

Good work, Judy! Like Lone Jack, I try to keep cream cheese on hand. It can be tasty mixed with so many things...even just garlic and herbs.

Just thinking...for years I would also keep those little 5-oz. jars of Kraft Old English Spread on hand for dips. They used to be 59 cents each, and now they're close to $5. So good when heated with cream cheese, chopped scallions, diced green chiles and served with tortilla chips.

I get those last minute requests all the time! Luckily,it is usually a specific recipe requested and I like shopping so I have no issue running to the store last minute.

Your dip sounds yummy!

What are they dipping? Veggies, corn chips, potato chips, crackers of some sort?

I'm not sure I would have ever thought of that combination of ingredients but I always have all 3 in the house. Glad it turned out yummy! Ranch dressing and various soup mixes are always a good standby in a pinch too.

My DW works part time at a place that sells Wind and Willow mixes so she gets them at a 40% discount and we have a dozen on hand most of the time. We always have some cream cheese to make the various cheese balls.

This is from a Daylily site: Ploidity: There are basically two type of Daylilies. Tetraploids & Diploids. I have no intention to get into all the scientific Mumbo jumbo of their difference, Basically the difference is in the number of chromosomes each type possesses. Tetraploids contain 44 chromosomes and Diploids contain 22 chromosomes. Tetraploid Daylilies have been heralded by hybridizers as having significant advantages over Diploids. Tetraploids tend to exhibit larger blooms, more intense color, sturdier scapes and heavier substance in both the bloom and foliage. The leaf, stem and blooms exhibit greater vigor and vitality. It took 35 years of struggle in the face of skepticism for the promised potential superiority of the tetraploid to emerge from it predecessor, The Diploid. Many of the Hybridizers who made today's hybrids possible did not live to see there vision vindicated. The greater number of chromosomes contained in Tetraploids greatly increases the possibilities of of future crosses today. Today there is a chemical process which one can actually convert Diploids into Tetraploids. Any former Diploids Cultivar names listed in our Daylily Database is preceded by the word "Tetra" i.e. "Tetra Becky Lynn" etc. Any siblings produced by these converted Cultivars will be Tetraploids. Tetraploids and Diploids are not normally compatible in terms of cross pollinating. I have crossed Tetraploids and Diploids successfully but is an exception to the rule and is rare. Here is a link that might be useful: Ploidity

A real estate attorney can protect you on contracts and verbage but won't necessarily know all the things to check (air, termites, water, mold). The seller usually pays the realtor so I am not sure how the bank can get involved. An attorney for a few hundred dollars may be helpful but more importantly is to get a good inspector and general contractor to see what the problems are and how much it may cost to fix them.

Help Me Make A Quick/Easy GOOD Dessert!?

Sandy, here's one that we love, and it takes about 10 minutes at the most to make. CHERRY DESSERT 1 cup flour 1/2 cup butter, softened (room temp) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup oatmeal (raw oats) 1 can cherry pie filling Cut butter into flour and brown sugar until crumbly. Add oatmeal and combine. Put half of this in bottom of 8" square pan and pat down. Spread cherry pie filling over top of this. Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Can double recipe and use 9x13 baking dish. I have made Casey's dessert and it is very good and oh so easy. But I just use regular milk, not chocolate, to dip the cookies in. I don't think you would be able to tell any difference, and there's no need to have the added expense of chocolate milk, unless you have some on hand. I actually think you could dip them in water! The idea is to moisten the cookies, and the taste comes from the cookies and whipped topping. Also, I put it in a 9x13 pan, layering it about 3 cookies high. Whenever I see Chips Ahoy and Cool Whip both on sale, I know it's time to make that dessert. It doesn't sound particularly good, but tastes great!

I took her to the orthopedic today. She won't need surgery, she will be in a sling and also use an ace bandage wrapped around her body at night to immobilize her arm. She has been in a good mood all day and hasn't complained of any pain so that part is great. However, he said it would take 6 weeks to heal and I need to keep her restricted for that entire time. Keep a 3 year old restricted...so funny! No swimming which will be hard as we have a pool and swim every single day. Also, she's left handed...with her left arm in a sling. Raven- his eye is a long story but I'll try to summarize. In December 2012, he was working in the shop when a piece of wood flew up and hit his eye. His actual eyeball was bleeding, not profusely but there was blood. Goes to the doctor, gets eyedrops, it heals fine. Less than a year later, he develops a cataract in that eye. A nasty big one that required 2 surgeries to fix. Now, his retina detaches. All of it is due to the initial trauma in 2012. Thanks everyone for letting me vent.

We like that kind of dip. Good choice. I have a good selection of products in my pantry and freezer so I am sure I could come up with something. I do Velveeta and chili, hot and good with Tortilla chips. Sometimes I add salsa to the mix.

One of my favorite dips, that a co-worker would bring in a crockpot, is simply Ro-tel tomato sauce with green chili, and Velveeta. I think that sometimes she would throw in cream cheese in place of some of the Velveeta. Your concoction sounds like a similar flavor profile - I am sure it was good!

I make a dip like Ravens. 1 lb. Velveeta, 1 lb. hamburger, browned and a 24 oz. jar of chunky salsa. Healthy shake of garlic salt and some red pepper flakes.

I love that dip and anything Mexican/Tex Mex.

Have you all fixed this Mexican cheese dip? I have no name for it but it is delicious, even though it has one weird ingredient.

The amounts depend on how much you want to make. We make a lot so we can reheat it in individual bowls for lunch.

Add to crockpot:

2 large or 3 medium size Mexican Velveeta Cheese blocks, I always get mild...broken into chunks for a faster melt.

1 bag Frozen Chopped Broccoli, completely thawed and drained.

1 can Chopped Mushrooms, drained

Cook on Low or High, depending on the time you have, stirring every now and then until it's steaming hot.

ugh, can you quick make me a dip please?
