[1]As I write this post, I smell the sweet fragrance of pumpkin spice wafting from my lit candle. Though not a fan of the pumpkin taste, I love the smell of pumpkin and other fall scents.
If you dropped in for a visit at my house, you would smell my pumpkin candle [2] unless I am cooking or baking in the kitchen. 🙂
Moving my summer recipes to the side, I welcome the comfort foods of fall. One of our family’s favorite fall recipes is a simple Warm Mexican Dip. The below recipe is not my own. One of our neighbors blended the ingredients, and I enjoy the non-spicy version of his concoction.
With only 5 ingredients, this Warm Mexican Dip is great for parties, heavy snacks, or a meal. Yum!

5. Serve with tortilla chips.
If you enjoy a bit more spice to your Mexican dishes, then choose a spicy sausage and hot salsa to add more kick. When serving this hearty Warm Mexican Dip, I include corn bread and fresh vegetables.
This recipe fills my Dutch oven which our family does not eat in one meal. Therefore, I freeze the leftovers saving me money, energy, and time on a future busy day.
As you prepare your family’s favorite recipes, consider making extra to freeze. Then on busy nights, you only need to add a few extras to feed your family while using time wisely. Happy planning!
