Since school has begun, we have been making delicious snacks all the time, including this tasty and super-easy Onion Dip with Cheese and Bacon.

This is perfect over the weekend or as an after-school snack. Perhaps you may even serve it when you watch football.

My kids will literally lick a whole bowl clean. Needless to say, my family absolutely loves this, and we do make tasty and easy snacks like this all the time.

I shop at Publix all the time, so it was only natural for me to get excited about it. The Family Celebrations promotion is such a great campaign, and I hope everyone will join this celebration.

Not only does Publix celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with us, but they also feature products from the Family Celebrations promotion as well as household essentials.

 I love this idea of creating recipes that you can try recreating at home, like this onion dip with bacon. The thing is, you can add seasonings that you like or prefer. 

Oh, and if you do not eat pork bacon, you can use turkey bacon or omit all together. Truth be told, we don’t eat it as often as before, so I usually add turkey stuff anyway. 

I know it’s not the same, but it is what it is.

What recipe are you going to create for Hispanic Heritage Month? I have a couple of recipes that revolve around this that I cannot wait to share with you all.

I am so excited to see what you guys are going to share with me.

When it comes to flavor this tasty and incredibly flavorful Taco Style Cream Cheese Dip is the way to go.
Not only that it is extremely delicious, but easy as well. All you need a couple of amazing ingredients, top it with whatever you usually top your tacos and you are done.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

• Mission® Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips, 9 oz
• 2 sticks of cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 pouch taco seasoning
• Toppings:
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 1/2 cups assorted tomatoes, sliced in half
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/4-1/2 jalapeño, optional
• 1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced

Instructions

1. In a bowl, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mild taco seasoning. Using electric mixture, if possible, combine all the ingredients together until it is smooth in texture.
2. Transfer the mixture to the serving dish and add all desirable toppings, preferably fresh.
3. I used toppings that we usually add to our tacos, so it made perfect sense to add lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeño and black olives and serve it with our favorite restaurant-style Mission Thin & Crispy Tortilla Chips.
4. Keep the dip cold before serving.

Notes

• Refrigerate dip if you are not going to serve it right away.
• For the best taste, use whole milk dairy products.
• Use fresh ingredients for the toppings, as they are preferably the best to make this dip colorful and at the same time, beautiful and tasty.
• You may make your own taco seasoning.
• Add more Sour cream if needed
• Fast way to bring cream cheese to room temperature: Take the cheese block out of the paper carton package, then unopened cheese, place in the warm, almost hot water for about 5 minutes.

Hey beautiful people, how’s going? I have today for ya, a delicious twist on guacamole. It’s creamy, yummy and perfect for parties… Any parties.

What I love about hummus is the fact that we can make it so quick, and the outcome is always really tasty, and quite beautiful. Pair it with some crackers, pita chips, even pretzels, and your guests will be impressed.

I will have one more hummus recipe that you will love, and yes, it’s sweet and a guilt-free pumpkin pie sort of speaking.

Also, if you just landed on my site, check out a few of my other amazing recipes hummus recipes.

My son, Aleks loves avocados, and he inspired me to make this avocado hummus. I wanted a richer flavor, creamier and I believe that I’ve achieved it. Now, let me show you how you can make this from scratch.

The chickpea is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It’s also known as gram, or Bengal gram, or garbanzo bean.

It’s extremely delicious and makes a great snack and amazing hummus. They contain protein, fiber, manganese, and folate. You can drizzle a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and eat it as a snack, sprinkle over a salad or simply include them in your hummus.

This time I cooked them myself, and it is not hard. It takes a bit of wait time, but it’s always a plus when you do it yourself.

So, let’s start.
