My mom’s Seven Layer Dip is a big hit at all small gatherings! Refried beans are layered with guacamole, seasoned sour cream, veggies and cheese. It’s perfect for dipping tortilla chips! The dip traditionally takes less time to disappear into bellies than it does to prepare.

This is the ‘secret’ Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn’t need to be refrigerated.
