Onion Dip with Cheese and Bacon

Yield: 6 to 8 Servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Print

Ingredients

• Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Flavor
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 1/2 Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco Cheese Chunk, split in half
• 5 Kentucky Legend Applewood Smoked or Hickory Smoked Bacon 16 oz.
• 1 tablespoon chives for garnish

Serve it with fresh veggies:

• Carrots, peppers, cucumber, celery, etc.

Instructions

1. You may follow instructions on the back of the Lipton Recipe Secrets
   to creating a dip or use my recipe with a twist.
2. To Lipton Recipe Secrets, add one cup of sour cream and 1/4 of Cacique Ranchero Queso Fresco Cheese Chunk and stir until everything is incorporated. Place it in the fridge.
3. Air fry or bake Kentucky Legend Applewood Smoked or Hickory Smoked Bacon. I used an air fryer and cooked bacon at 375F for 12 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Once crispy and cooled enough, chop into small prices.
4. Half of the bacon mix in the dip, and the other half garnish together with chopped chives.
5. Serve with vegetables such as carrots, celery, mini assorted sweet peppers, and cucumbers.

Notes

Easy Entertaining Platter is just that, simple and versatile.

My family doesn’t entertain nearly as much as before. However, we love making cheeseboards and platters for family and close friends.

I will share a few more boards and ideas such as this one with you all. I enjoy making platters for my family over the weekend as well as for a movie night.

Just to mention that you can use so many different things to create such a delicious and delicious platter or board.

I enjoy using Envy apples, which are crunchy and sweet.  They are incredibly juicy apples – their texture and bright red skin make them stand out.

However, the Honeycrisp or Red Delicious would do well as well. Nonetheless, apples are a healthy indulgence, perfect as a delightful sweet treat that goes well with sweet or savory platter additions.

Easy Entertaining Appetizer Platter

Recipe 8-10 SERVINGS

• 1 small Goat Cheese
• 2-3 Apples; envy, red delicious, or Honeycrisp
• 3T Honey
• Sliced Baguette
• Sliced Meats; dried salami and deli meat (turkey, ham)
• Sliced Cheeses, cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, Colby
• Grapes; red, black, or green- I enjoy moon drop type
• Olives and mini Veggies; cherry tomatoes, mini peppers, etc.
• Nuts; almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, cashews
• Bottle of Rose Wine

DIRECTIONS:

• Slice one apple horizontally to create circular wedges. Remove apple core using a small round cookie cutter.
• Arrange remaining ingredients on a platter, dried fruit, cheese, and smoked salami and deli meats.
• Add bread, crackers, and breadsticks around the platter.
• Additionally, add nuts in between empty spots. You can also add a small bowl of different nuts and dried fruit.
• Serve with a bottle of Rose Wine.

Banana pudding parfaits are such an easy and delicious dessert. I can’t even explain how fantastic yet simple is to make it.

My kids as well as my husband always ask for me to make extra because it’s that good.

It’s a family favorite especially during summer days when you want something sweet but quick and easy without turning the oven on.

The taste of the pudding is fluffy and creamy, and it goes just wonderful with crumps of crunchy wafers and bananas.

Adding chocolate gives you that extra deliciousness and elegance to this classic dessert.

It will impress just about anyone. The best part is that you can make this one a day ahead or in a large bowl or dessert baking dish.

However, I love making banana pudding like parfaits, which are always, in my opinion, more impressive.

Note:

• You can make your own pudding, any of your choice, or whipped cream topping. I use store-bought to save time, plus I always have a tub of whipped cream in my freezer to beat a quick dessert
• You may use other fruit, although that would not be a classic banana pudding, and most certainly, we can’t call it banana pudding.
• Use any cookies that you like. So traditionally, you have you use wafer cookies, but I feel like using ginger snap cookies, Oreos, or even chocolate chip would taste amazing.

Ingredients

• 20 vanilla wafers, crushed + a few whole
• 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O French Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding (or sugar free vanilla flavor)
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 cup thawed Whipped Cream Topping
• 2 banana, cut into 20 slices
• 2 Oz Chocolate, any on hand. Note: I used dark to shave on top and decorative caramel-filled chocolate for garnish.

Instructions

2. Beat pudding mix and milk in medium bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in about 2 tbsp of thawed whipped cream topping.
3. Slice a banana, but reserve banana slices for garnish.
4. Layer each glass/dish with the wafer crumbs, pudding, a tablespoon of whipped cream topping, banana slices, and again with one more layer. Add evenly in 4 dessert glasses/dishes; repeat layers until everything is gone.
5. Refrigerate 30 min.
6. Top with remaining wafers, reserved banana slices and chocolate just before serving; garnish with a bit of wafer’s coarse crumbs, chocolate shaving, banana slices, one wafer cookie, and one slice of chocolate of your choice— It’s unnecessary, but it looks so much better.

Who doesn’t like cheesecake- its sweet, delicious, lushes, and one of my family’s favorite desserts.

We had it once a week. It was a family tradition, I think, just like when we make sushi on Friday or grab a pizza on Saturday.

However, when we all switch to a low-carb, sugar-free lifestyle, buying cheesecake was not an option because nobody is selling around here sugar-free version.

With that being said, a few weeks ago, I decided to make my own. We were all craving it! It was not even funny.

I tried a few different recipes, and finally, on my third try, we got a winner. I thought it was a perfect balance of sweet and creamy. We all loved it so much. Even if you are not implementing a low carb or sugar-free lifestyle you can totally make this recipe.

It is super easy! Let me just tell you, if I can make this in my air fryer without any cake-making skill, you can, without a doubt, make it too. I feel like you cab totally make this at night, refrigerate and have it the next day for lunch. Now, let’s dive in and make this yummy recipe.

Now, if you decide to make my Low Carb Cheesecake recipe, please share it with me on Instagram, and do not forget to tag me @sandraseasycooking. I would love to see it and with your permission share it!

Mix everything for the crust and press down in the 8- Inch Springform pan. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. You may use parchment paper to line the pan.

Meanwhile, mix everything until smooth for the filling; It took me roughly 5 minutes of mixing with a hand mixer.
Preheat the oven and bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Take it out and cool completely before putting it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

I used Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener, stevia, or Swerve confectioners' sweetener

sugar-free diet, of course.

I did not have powdered sugar so I used my blender to make it powdered.
