I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Tex Mex Dip

3 ripe avocados    
1 large bunch green onions, chopped--including tops (about 1 cup)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper
3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 cup sour cream   
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 (3 1/2 oz. each) cans pitted ripe olives, drained, coarsely chopped
1 package taco seasoning mix or Fiesta Dip mix  
2 (10 1/2 oz. each) cans plain or jalapeno-flavored bean dip
8 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Peel, pit, and coarsely mash avocados in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.  Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and taco seasoning in a bowl.  To assemble:  Spread bean dip on a large serving platter; top with avocado mixture; layer with sour cream mixture in smaller and smaller layers so each layer shows under the other.  Sprinkle with chopped onions, tomatoes, and olives; cover with shredded cheese.  Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. 

This looks interesting and tastes great!
