Bean Dip

Yes I know bean dip is so simple.  But I thought about it because my kids were requesting crazy stuff this weekend.  Bean dip was one of them and there are great ways to use the leftovers.   So today I post my bean dip and tomorrow you can find a great recipe to make using your bean dip.
added some avocado for garnish


1 can refried beans look for vegetarian or fat free
2 tbsp organic sour cream
1/4 cup shredded cheese mexican blend ( always have this stuff on hand) ( organic preferably)
1/4 cup favorite salsa

Directions; 
Heat on stove top at medium heat. Stir occasionally until everything is incorporated and heated through. You should no longer see any bits of cheese.  Serve with chips and keep watching for my other fun ways to use your bean dip.  This is a great way to get protein in your kids. My kids and their friends love this!

I Have A Problem

 I am writing something other than a recipe today.  Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem.  The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food.  So the dishes you see are my dishes.  I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few.  So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked.  However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave.  So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store.  So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes.  They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop.  I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
