Easy Sour Cream Salsa Bean Dip

This past weekend for Easter I had it really easy......no cooking for me.  All I needed to do was make a fresh green salad.  Well, that didn't seem like enough to bring to my in-laws so I searched the pantry and came up with Sour Cream and Salsa Bean Dip.

So easy, and perfect for a last minute appetizer that both kids and adults will enjoy.
















Sour Cream and Salsa Bean Dip

Ingredients:
12 oz can of refried beans
1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
2 tablespoons of sour cream
Cheddar cheese, grated
2 scallions, chopped

Directions:
Mix the beans, sour cream and salsa together in a bowl.  Place in serving bowl.  Sprinkle with grated cheese and top with chopped scallions.
Serve with corn chip dippers or tortilla chips.....I like the corn chips.

Easy recipes give you the opportunity to do more things such as this.......

Colors of Spring

Easter is probably my second favorite holiday....right after Thanksgiving.  The colors of Easter and the entrance into spring have a lot to do with it for me. 

We had a fun-filled weekend of coloring eggs,

Happy Easter!



Easter isn’t at all about Easter bunnies and Easter eggs as such, though these things are nice to have at Easter time. I’ve heard it said that the Easter egg represents 'new life' – as a chicken hatches from an egg. It is okay to enjoy chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs at Easter time, but let us not forget the real meaning of Easter.

The Easter Bunny

So much fun when the Easter Bunny shows up early for a special egg hunt party.  Yesterday, the rain held off for the outdoor Easter egg hunt party we attended....thankfully!  Otherwise, poor Helen's house would have been a disaster by the time 30 plus kids hunted their eggs. {Helen is a blogger also}

















There is almost nothing better than attending a party, any 'kid' party, when

Hoppity Hop

We spent the evening at my sister and brother-in-law's house for Easter dinner last night. Their kids are in 4-H and have rabbits that they show. They just recently decided to breed their bunnies for the very first time. They now have, I think, seven new 14 day old baby bunnies. This was my first time ever holding a baby bunny. I COULD NOT get enough of them! Just look how tiny they are.......... I wanted to take one home....... This one was pretty cozy in Dominic's hands..... The is the smallest of all.... Basket of bunnies, all are 'Dutch' except for the little one, which is a 'Holland Lop'....... Paige and Grandpa Tony having fun. The bunnies would hop up our arms to get to our shoulders and nuzzle under our hair or next to our neck..... Bryce even got into holding one of them............ This one really liked my Dad......... My little animal lover was in heaven with two of them in her lap........ So, if you are local and in search for a new pet 'Dutch' bunny, the kids are selling a few of them for $10 or $15 each!! Happy Monday!! Pin It
