Basil Dipping Sauce

 

I love basil. It's so flexible, and makes everything taste fresh. This dipping sauce/ salad dressing is amazing. It thickens as it sits in the fridge, making it a great veggie dip, or a spread for sandwiches. 

Basil Dipping Sauce

The Double Dipped Life

1/2 cup Sour Cream

3 Tb mayonnaise

3 Tb fresh basil, chopped

1 green onion, chopped

1/2 clove garlic

1/2 teas Worcestershire sauce

Kosher salt and ground black pepper


Use a blender or food processor to combine all ingredients except salt and pepper until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Use as a salad dressing, or refrigerate and use as a dip or sandwich spread! Enjoy!

Ritz Cracker Chicken

Also called Sour Cream Chicken... Ritz Casserole...Poppy seed casserole...that yummy chicken stuff...whatever name comes to mind first!

A roommate in college shared this recipe with me, and it's become a family favorite. It's the perfect comfort food.

Ritz Cracker Chicken

1-2 lbs chicken, cooked and cubed or shredded.

1 T poppy seeds
1 cube butter or margarine.
1 TB seasonings - I use garlic and Herb
Garlic
Salt and Pepper

Melt Butter. Add crushed crackers and poppy seeds. Mix, and set aside.
Mix Sour Cream, Chicken, and Soup. Season with Herbs, Garlic, Salt and Pepper.
Press 1/2 of the cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
Add 1/2 of the leftover crackers to the chicken mix.
Spread chicken mix over the crackers in the pan.
Sprinkle remaining crackers over the top.
Bake at 350 for 30 min.
