		<description><![CDATA[Are you looking for an easy to make dip or topping that has a unique taste. Well then give this flavorful home made guacamole dip recipe a try. It's healthy, nutritious and delicious.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/11/03/guacamole_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This great tasting, home made guacamole dip and topping, tastes remarkable with chips or stuffed in a taco. The rich and creamy texture of avocados mixed with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic has a most luscious and decadent taste. One of the best parts of making this guacamole recipe is how simple it is. It should only take about 20 minutes from start to finish.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2 Ripe Avocados </li>
<li>Juice of 1 Lemon </li>
<li>2 Tablespoons Olive Oil </li>
<li>1 Small Onion (Finely Chopped) </li>
<li>1 Garlic Clove (Crushed) </li>
<li>8oz Tomatoes (Peeled, Seeded and Finely Chopped) </li>
<li>1 Small Fresh Green Chilli (Seeded and Finely Chopped) </li>
<li>Fresh Coriander Leaves (Chopped)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Method</strong></p>
<p>Start by cutting the avocados into halves and remove the stones. Peel the avocados and discard the skin and roughly chop the flesh. Transfer the avocados to a bowl and, using a fork, mash them with the lemon juice.</p>
<p>Next add the remaining ingredients, except for the coriander, and blend the mixture until it&#8217;s smooth. Cover with a layer of cling film, pressed lightly on the surface of the dip. Chill the avocado dip until needed. Before serving the avocado dip, garnish it with the chopped coriander. Serve this guacamole with your favorite chips for a tasty little snack.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an amazing pesto recipe taught to me by my even more amazing little sister, an aspiring chef. It's quick and easy, plus it tastes great. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To make this simple pesto dressing, you will need 3 cloves of garlic, one cup of basil leaves, <i>lots</i> of grated Parmesan (I love Parmesan with a passion, you probably want about two ounces), some pine nuts (I leave these out) and three tablespoons of olive oil. This is for basic pesto, you can definitely experiment with your favorite spices and flavors. Always try to get fresh basil, and don&#8217;t go cheap on the olive oil. A good oil makes the dish!</p>
<h3>Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>3 Cloves Garlic Peeled and Chopped</li>
<li>1 Cup Basil Leaves (Rinsed and stems cut off)</li>
<li>Lots of Parmesean (2 or more ounces)</li>
<li>1/2 Cup Pine Nuts</li>
<li>3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil</li>
</ul>
<h3>Method</h3>
<p>Preparing pesto sauce is relatively easy. First, peel the garlic. This is easier if you kind of crush it with the flat part of the knife first. Then, chop the garlic very fine with knife and scrape the chopped garlic into a small bowl. You can also use a garlic presser or food processor if you have either at your disposal. Next, cut the stems off basic leaves and rinse the leaves.rinse the basil and cut off all the stems. After that, chop or process the pine nuts and add them to the bowl. Put the grated Parmesan into the bowl and mix every thing thoroughly. Mix very thoroughly or you will get unpleasant concentrations of garlic in some bites. Now add the olive oil to your taste, some people prefer thicker pesto sauce than others. Simmer for 10 minutes. Done! You can use it instantly or you can store it in the refrigerator for the week or even freeze for extended periods.This tastes great on pretty much anything. I personally use it like ketchup and put it on fries, pasta, toast, bagels, chicken, etc. Yum&#8230;</p>
<p>Mix all Ingredients and Simmer for about 10 Minutes!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You have got to try this recipe, it's a tad different than others, but it is awesome.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came up with this little recipe years ago when I needed to make a Mexican dish for my Spanish class.&nbsp; Since then, I make it whenever I can and have gotten rave reviews from friends and family. It&#8217;s a little bit different than a standard recipe but is just delicious. I hope you enjoy!</p>
<h3>Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>4 ripe <a href="http://www.gomestic.com/Cooking/Secrets-of-the-Avocados.69967" target="_blank">avocados</a> (you can tell if they are ripe by squeezing them a little and you want them to give just a little bit but not mushy)</li>
<li>&frac12; cup of sweet onion</li>
<li>&frac12; cup&nbsp; of cilantro</li>
<li>1 or 2 Serrano chilies (depending on how spicy you want it)</li>
<li>The juice of one lime</li>
<li>1 or 2 tablespoons of water (depending on the consistency you like)</li>
<li>Salt to taste (I like to use 2 &frac12; teaspoons of sea salt)</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/2009/10/07/avacado_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h3>Method</h3>
<p>A few times I made this in the blender but I chop by hand now, it&#8217;s just easier to clean up after. You&#8217;re going to want to finely chop the onion, cilantro, and Serrano chilies. Make sure you keep your hands away from your face because those chilies sting. Halve the avocados and remove the pits. It should be easy to scoop it out of the skin with a spoon or fork. Combine all of these ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Then to that, add the juice of the lime, salt, and water. Continue to combine everything together until it reaches the consistency you want. I like to then chill it for about an hour so then serve it with <a href="http://notecook.com/soup/homemade-tortilla-soup/" target="_blank">tortilla chips</a>. This guacamole is great on all sorts of things. I use it with every <a href="http://notecook.com/appetizers/snacks/mexican-style-potato-chips/" target="_blank">Mexican</a> dish I make and will even put it on sandwiches, be creative, you might be surprised at it&lsquo;s versatility.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>They say that; &ldquo;variety is the spice of life&rdquo;. When it comes to dips nothing could be truer so let us add some variety to that ever popular standard; sour cream.</p>
<h3><strong>Ingredients</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>2 Limes</li>
<li>1 Cup of Sour Cream</li>
<li>&frac14; Cup of Brown Sugar (firmly packed)</li>
</ul>

<h3><strong>Method</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li>Squeeze both limes and collect juice. We will be using 2 tablespoons worth of lime juice in this lime sour cream dip any leftover can be refrigerated for later use.</li>
<li>Now finely grate zest from both limes. This recipe requires 2 tablespoons of lime zest; so keep grating until you have enough.</li>
<li>Add sour cream, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of both lime juice and lime zest to a medium sized mixing bowl.</li>
<li>Use a whisk to thoroughly combine ingredients</li>
</ol>
<h3><strong>Serving Suggestions</strong></h3>
<p>To use the lime sour cream dip as a dip; simply transfer portions of lime sour cream dip into small bowls and place on table along with a selection of crackers, corn chips, savory crackers, savories etc.</p>
<h3><strong>Soup Topping</strong></h3>
<p>When using this lime sour cream dip with soup it is best to use thick pureed soups such as pumpkin and pea and ham soup. If presentation matters then do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cook your soup</li>
<li>Ladle required serving portions into soup bowls</li>
<li>Top with a dollop of lime sour cream dip</li>
<li>Now use a fork to gently swirl the dip; thereby creating a really cool spiral effect.</li>
<li>Consider garnishing with some crushed corn chips, parsley, lentils or sprouts</li>
</ul>

<p>Lime sour cream dip is a great compliment to many other dishes including nachos, hot dogs, burgers, potatoes cooked in their jackets, green salads, fruit kabobs or a tropical fruit salad to name but a few. Enjoy!</p>
