5-Layer Dip

This layered bean dip is always a crowd-pleaser at parties. At its most basic it is a 5-layer dip but it can easily become a 7-layer dip if you add multiple toppings with the cheese.

Dutch Baby Pancakes

Dutch babies take me back to my childhood summers at the lake. We always ate these puffy pancakes with fresh berry butter, syrup and powdered sugar but you can use any other toppings.

Calzone

Whenever we make pizzas we save at least one of the dough balls for calzones another night. They are a great way to use leftover pizza toppings. Pile the ingredients inside, except for the pizza sauce which should be warmed and used as a dipping sauce.

Guacamole

The following guacamole recipe is my family’s favorite version but we change up the ingredients depending on what we have on hand. We really like the combination of the salsa verde with the chopped tomatoes but if we don’t have salsa verde, we use any other salsa.

Homemade Neapolitan Pizza

Sourdough starter gives pizza crust a light airy texture and a subtle sourdough tang. One of the keys to this type of pizza is cooking it at an extremely high heat. We place the pizza stone on bricks in the bbq so that the heat can circulate on the bottom and top of the pizza, allowing the top of the pizza to char before the bottom burns. The result is pretty darn close to a perfect Neapolitan pizza! Let everyone in the family choose the toppings for a pizza.

Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are a perfect healthy snack. They are also great for baking. It’s simple and easy to roast your own and then you can control the amount of sodium in them! So next time you are carving Jack-o-lanterns or have pumpkin or squash around the house, don’t throw out the seeds!
