John’s impromptu Mexican dip

This dip just sort of happened – John had a bunch of Mexican-y leftovers in the same bowl, and we scooped them up with chips. Then he decided to serve it as a dip the next day for game day.

Homemade hummus

I’ve made hummus a couple times and always forget exactly what measurements I use. I’m stealing these proportions off a Web site because the ingredients mirror mine.

Sweet potato fries with bacon dressing

I had torn this out as a potential Thanksgiving recipe at some point, but my fam was skep, so I just ended up making it in general

Bacon avocado sandwich

One of my favorite flavor combinations.

Mom’s Dill Dip For Pumpernickel

This got a lot of play last summer, when I was growing my own dill in the backyard.

Shish kabobs, Mr. Frederick style

This is how my dad used to always make shish kabobs. I tend to go with a more Indian/Middle Eastern preparation, but this is still a good standby.

Impromptu “Peruvian” egg whites

I made this for breakfast this week when I got back from the gym early and had a bit of time before work. Now, there’s a good chance that unless you’re in Arlington, the prospect of leftover Peruvian chicken green sauce isn’t a common occurrence, but hey.

Frittata

I can’t say that this is a dish I’ve mastered, but I enjoy making it, particularly when I’m trying to feed a group last-minute for breakfast. This is one of those recipes that you totally adjust to your own taste; whatever you’ve got in the fridge.
