Tips: I used an extra avocado and a little more spicy pepper when making this dip on my own. Additional salt may be added to taste.

Award Winning Dip
I made this tip for a super bowl party in the Fall and went home with 1st prize - I beat out buffalo chicken dip! It's a refreshing dip and will over well at summer parties.
Easy App! Asparagus & Gruyere Tart
Jim has made this twice, the second time better than the first. It's a simple recipe from Martha Stewart that makes a great lunch side or an appetizer for guests.
Tips:
- You can definitely use a little bit less cheese than indicated in the recipe.
- We bought the Pillsbury pizza dough in the tube and it has worked fabulously.
- Lastly, we added turkey bacon crumbles to our latest tart and well…bacon makes everything better!
Scones - First Attempt
My first attempt at scones turned out well! I took Alton Brown's recipe and added semi-sweet chocolate chips to the recipe. I love a chocolate chip scone with some dark coffee in the morning! I was informed that buttermilk helps the scones get puffy and this recipe uses cream. I plan to try another scone recipe with buttermilk next time.
Tips:
- I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream and it worked just as well.
- Cut the butter into cubes (make sure it's cold, but soft).
- Mix the butter and shortening in with your fingers unless you have a dough setting on a food processor.
