I can’t get over how good this queso blanco dip is. This is another Pinterest find and another recipe that is here to stay. This white cheese dip is just like what they serve at Mexican restaurants, and it tastes so good! It’s cheesy and just a little bit spicy and perfect served with chips. The recipe comes together in minutes in the microwave and you only need to dirty one dish. Feel free to play around with the recipe and adjust the spiciness, but I happen to think it tastes great as is! I served this for a girl’s night a few weeks ago and used a mini crockpot to keep it warm, which worked great. Just make sure to give it a stir every once in awhile. Everyone seemed to really like it and I’m sure I’ll be making it for future events!
Queso Blanco Dip
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb White American Cheese (I found Land O'Lakes brand at my deli counter), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup diced green chiles
2 pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 ounce pickled jalapeno juice
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup cold water
pinch of cumin
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring after every minute. The mixture will seem watery at first, but will combine into a runny dip once all the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping. Store leftover dip in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until creamy and hot.

I love to make muffins. They’re so quick and easy, and they almost always come out tasting amazing. You can’t really beat warm muffins out of the oven. I love to make a batch on the weekends and then freeze them for lunches throughout...

I’ve got another soup recipe for you, and this one is definitely a classic. It really doesn’t get much better than old fashioned chicken noodle soup. This recipe comes from my mom, although if you want to be more precise, it actually comes from...

I figured since I’ve been posting so many soup recipes, it was about time I gave you a new bread recipe to serve on the side. This oatmeal bread recipe comes from King Arthur Flour (as so many of my favorite bread recipes...

I have so many soup recipes to share with you right now. I’m trying to do one a week so that I don’t overwhelm you with soup. But really, is there any better meal in the middle of cold and dreary January than a...

You would not believe how good this stir-fry is. Strangely enough, this is actually the first time I’ve ever made a stir-fry with beef in it. I’m not sure why, but when I think of stir-fry, I always think of chicken. Well all that...

I realize I’m being fairly predictable by posting a healthy recipe for fruit right after the holiday season. But what can I say? I’m craving healthy food as much as the next person, and this recipe sounds really good right about now. In actuality,...

1. I love to bake more than I love to cook. For the sake of the health of all of us, I should really learn to reverse that. 2. Throwing an extra package of butter into the cart is no longer enough. Now, I...
