The Best Hot 7 Layer Dip

The Best Hot 7 Layer Dip

Super Bowl Sunday is approaching and every great game day has to have a great dip to go with it. Seven layer dips are super popular for good reason, but this hot version is even better. This is a recipe that has been made in my family for as long as I can remember and is always one of the most requested game day appetizers whenever I am asked to bring a dish. Layers of beans, taco seasoned meat, sour cream, salsa, olives, and lots of cheese get baked until ooey and gooey in the oven and then topped with fresh toppings and served alongside corn chips for the ultimate game day snack! This truly is the best hot 7 layer dip and once you make it, you will see why.

Easy Shrimp Ceviche

Easy Shrimp Ceviche

Easy Shrimp Ceviche

Summer is in full swing and so is the heat! That means I am all about an easy meal that I barely have to cook. Ceviche is one of those dishes that I tend to make in the summer more often than not because it just begs to be eaten on a warm afternoon with a cold beer outside on a patio, or if you are lucky, maybe on the beach! There are all sorts of ceviche varieties, but we love this shrimp ceviche because we always have access to fresh wild caught shrimp since we are close to the Gulf. This recipe for easy shrimp ceviche is a great one to try if you have never made your own at home, and I just know you are going to love it as much as we do.

The Ultimate Summer Caprese Platter

The summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean that we still can’t enjoy all of the gorgeous summer fruits for a little while longer! I don’t know about you, but even though I long for crisp fall mornings, saying goodbye to all of my favorite melons, tomatoes, stone fruits, and cherries is not something I am ready for yet! One of my favorite ways to enjoy summer’s produce is to make a Caprese salad! It’s the most perfect summer dish that is so great for a light lunch or dinner all season long! I turned one of my favorite salads into the best summer entertaining platter! My Ultimate Summer Caprese Platter is perfect to serve up for any remaining warm summer nights spent with friends and family!
