Since I still haven’t finished my Peanut Butter Icebox Pie from earlier this week, I decided to make something less sweet for Cinco de Mayo.
Today, I bring to you a Cheesy Jalapeño Dip, great for tortilla chips, veggies, pita, or anything else that you deem dippable.
My parents are in town for the weekend so I will keep this blog short and sweet. We will be spending time at City Island in the Bronx where we will enjoy a lobster tail dinner on the water, and then Coney Island in Brooklyn where we will “enjoy” Nathan’s Hot Dogs! Two places that are worlds apart but both in New York City; what a great place to live!
Enjoy the Cinco de Mayo (or Derby Day, whichever you prefer) weekend! ¡Buen provecho!
