Cookin' Food

Stacey here… this Family Cook Book was originally collected and printed several years ago. I gave the collection as Christmas gifts. The ever increasing family and friends asking for copies, as well as, more and more new recipes being shared, has sent me fleeing to the web as a family resource. My family tree and all of our connecting branches, have a long love of food and recipes. If you have stumbled upon us by accident, you are welcome to use a recipe. Our recipes have been collected over many years from many different sources - I strive to give credit where credit is due.

Easy "Cheesy" Dips

There is a less 'refined gourmet' strain in our family, and I think if most people are honest they would admit to finding it within themselves as well.  So while this blog pays homage to our family voyage of culinary discovery, it still has to acknowledge our roots... thus cheese dip... and Velvetta  (everyone secretly loves Velvetta!)...

Cream Cheese
Place a block of cream cheese in shallow bowl, then cover with one of the following:
                             Fresh Salsa
                             Raspberry-Chipotle Sauce
                             Chutney
                             Tapenade

Serve with crackers and cheese spreader
 
 

Velvetta 2 ways

             1 block     Velvetta, cut in cubes
              ½ cup     Salsa
