A Simple Bean Dip and Chips

It's time for Foodie Friday, be sure to stop by

Designs By Gollum for some fabulous recipes.

This is a quick and easy Bean Dip that I make for a snack.

1 can Black Beans 1 can Diced Tomatoes ( I use tomatoes that have

Basil, Garlic and Oregano in them)

1/2 cup Onions or to taste

1/4 cup Chives or to taste

Garlic to taste

I drain the liquid from the veggies, reserve some for

later or if needed.

Best if you chill and let the flavors blend together.

I quarter these little babies. A little deep frying.

Sea Salt, Allot of paper towels, and you are ready to go.

Hope you try this recipe and enjoy it.

If you like Mexican food you will like this.

We love Mexican food, but the nearest restaurant is 45

minutes away, and that tells the ending to this story

(cooking at home). See everyone at CIJ Saturday.

I had a request for the Berry Crisp recipe from last

week, some people were saying they could not read it.

So here we go, and enjoy!

1 cup uncooked oats, quick cooking or regular

(not instant)

1 cup all- purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4-1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or

hazelnuts)

1/2 cup butter or margarine

3 cups fresh or frozen berries

1/2 cup sugar (or desired amount) Mix oats, flour and brown sugar. Add nuts. Cut in butter or

margarine until crumbly. Grease or spray and 8-inch square

pan. Place half of crumb mixture on bottom. Mix berries

and white sugar and pour over crumb mixture. Top

with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 350

for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
