Here are three recipes we tried this week from Allrecipes.com. They all were delicious!
Seven Layer Taco Dip
It was super fast and easy to make. Serve with toasted warm tortilla chips. We used lettuce and tomatoes fresh from our little garden. Usually I buy authentic crisp and thin tortilla chips from a little Mexican bakery down the street that they make right on site. But for this we went for the ordinary thick grocery store tortilla chips because this is a thick and hearty dip! I added a sliced jalepeno from the garden for a bit more kick.

Child labor rolling the dough balls ; )
This recipe was recommended to me by a friend. Her husband is Bengali and this recipe passes as authentically delicious at their house! I made a big batch of this naan yesterday for iftar dinner served with Green Curry Chicken in Coconut Milk. By morning, the entire batch was almost gone! On my friend’s recommendation, I mixed the garlic into warmed ghee instead of kneading it into the dough. I brushed each side of the naan with the garlic butter before flipping. I also let the dough rise, covered, in the fridge overnight since I started it the day prior and ran out of time to get it done. I put my boys on dough ball rolling duty. Next time, I’ll make the dough balls larger the size than recommended.

I was too tired to take a pic of this one, but the link shows a pretty example. In a crunch last week, I was out of time for dinner and was exhausted, crabby, swollen feet, and feeling very pregnant. I found this recipe and thought it was probably too good to be true because it was so simple and quick. Thankfully, we had all the ingredients on hand. I usually make my own pie crusts, but I even had a set of frozen pre-made crusts in the basement freezer. My nine year old put this together. From now on, I’m keeping these ingredients on hand for those last-minute nights!
