Roasted Red Pepper Dip



  • 1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and diced
  • 3/4 pound shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard

First you want to strain your peppers and pat dry! If you leave them wet it will affect the consistency of your dip!

Mix together cream cheese, mayo, mustard, garlic, and onion. The gently fold in peppers. Place in baking dish at 350 for 20 minutes. You want the edges to brown and the middle to be bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips or bread rounds.

* I always double this recipe and buy the BIG jar of pepper slices. But you can find the peppers in small jars pre-diced.

Quick & Easy Jello side dish or dessert

This is the easiest side dish or dessert you will ever make. And its delicious!


Just 3 Ingredients: Jello, fruit, yogurt - use any flavor you want :)

I like to use 2 boxes of jello - it sets quicker. On the stove heat 2 cups of water or use the juice from your fruit. Add your jello (any flavor) and bring to a boil. Let sit for 5 mins. Get your fruit ready - something to compliment your jello (raspberries, strawberries, peaches, etc. canned or fresh) and add 1-2 cups any flavor yogurt (again any flavor). Pour jello in a serving bowl and add 3 cups of ice cubes. Stir until it starts to thicken. Remove any ice cubes that remain with a slotted spoon. Add in your fruit and yogurt and mix together. Sometimes I really mix it up and other times I just slightly mix to you can see the pretty colors. Put in fridge until ready to eat. For this one I used peaches, Mandarin oranges; orange jello and vanilla yogurt. I make it different anytime and I have not had a bad batch. Experiment. Enjoy!!!
