Casa Ole Green Dip

Everyone has a favorite restaurant that they grew up eating at, for me it was Casa Ole. Casa Ole is a small chain Mexican food restaurant found in Texas. What made this Mexican food restaurant stand out from all the other Mexican food restaurants in Texas was their green dip.

Their green dip is so good and they seem to be the only ones making it. This dip is one of the things I miss the most about Texas. This should give you a solid idea of how awesome this dip is. So, imagine my delight when my friend Melanie told me she had the recipe! (I almost cried.) I didn't want to get my hopes up too high, but when you live in Oregon and you grew up on Tex-Mex..........
I made the dip and it was good! This copy cat recipe has to be close to the exact recipe, if not their exact recipe. Mine was quite a bit thicker then what they serve, but I wasn't sure how to go about thinning it. It was thick enough to hold my chip up. Feel free to leave a suggestion on how to thin dip.

Potato Skins - Perfect super bowl party appetizer

I serve these potato skins every year at our annual Super Bowl party.  They are always the first thing to go, no matter how many I make!

Potato Skins

Slice the potatoes into a quarter of an inch thick round slices and coated each side with oil.  Bake them for about 20 minutes.  Layer them with bbq sauce, bacon, green onions, and the top with cheese.  Put back into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.

Avocado Humus

Awesome Tex-Mex recipe for Avocado Humus. I got this appetizer recipe from my friend Colleen and thought I would share it.

Avocado Humus
1 Avocado pitted and chopped
1 cup garbanzo beans drained
1/3c. chopped onion
2 large cloves garlic
1 tbs lemon or lime juice (I like lime)
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/3c. olive oil

Put garlic in the processor first and chop. Add onion and chop. Then add all other ingredients and blend until smooth. Season to your taste. Add another avocado if you want it a little creamier. A little chili powder can add a kick too.
