Layered Bean Dip

Growing up, this was one of my favorite snacks. I have to be careful not to make it too often now, though, because the hubby and I will eat the entire thing in a day or 2!!

1 medium can refried beans
2 cans guacamole (or make fresh)
green onions (chopped)
1 large can salsa
1- 7 oz can chopped chilies
1- 16 oz sour cream
taco seasoning
Black olives
Shredded Cheese
Chopped tomatoes

In serving dish, layer beans, guac, salsa, chilies, and sour cream (mixed with taco seasoning). Top with onion, olives, cheese, and tomatoes.

Oriental Salad

This is a salad my mom often made for events like baby showers. It is a nice light salad and a great addition to any meal!


Salad:

1/2 head white cabbage
1/2 head purple cabbage
6 green onions (chopped)
3/4 C (or more) slivered almonds
8 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 pkgs Top Ramen Noodles

Put cabbage and onions in a ziploc bag. Brown almonds and sesame seeds in pan (no oil). Put in ziploc. Crunch up Top Ramen and add to ziploc.

Dressing:

4 Tbsp sugar
1 tap salt
1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp pepper
1/2 C salad oil

Keep dressing separate from salad until ready to serve. Mix. Enjoy!
