I like to cook and people rave about my cooking - but I still don't like taking things to carry-ins and frequently cop out with a relish tray. Actually, deviled eggs go over very well almost all the time. I did nothing but deviled eggs or relish tray with deviled eggs for years because everything disappeared. It is so disheartening when other people don't like your favorite. I have taken my guacamole - which is unusual and yes I will share if you ask - and had people absolutely fall over themselves gushing. At church, nobody hardly touched it. Weird and green I guess.

In the last couple of years, I have been taking zucchini muffins. I've seen little kids getting seconds. Also will share if you ask.

Be careful with your crockpots and chilis - the spills can give severe burns. Don't just carry it propped between your legs in the car.

Queso can go over well with the right crowd. I think that is salsa, the block cheese with jalapenos in it (Velveeta Mexican or Queso blanca with jalapenos) and canned chili - or a cup of your own. Experiment and see how you like it. Add a little milk. My daughter is great with it - I have only been adequate to kinda good. . I make excellent nachos at home, but they wouldn't transport well. Also true of my fajitas and cobbler.....

Good luck. (Think you might be an over achiever.) hugs.

I'm a pitch and toss cook.

Guacamole - use the black (dark green) avocados with the bumps - not the smooth ones.

Three avocados
juice from half a lemon
finely chopped onion (probably two Tbsp - but I don't measure)
2-3 TBSP Helmann's or other real mayonnaise
2-3 TBSP Miracle whip. (You can use all Miracle Whip, but not vice versa)
2-3 TBSP salsa.

Use a mixer to mix it smooth.

Put the pit in it to keep it from turning dark. All measurements are approximate. After you taste it the first time, you can figure out the adjustments you want to make. It is pretty forgiving.

I found the muffins on the site - it is in New Posts. Feel free to discard this silly business after you get the recipe. Have fun.

Hi I made cheeseballs and craisin fruitballs for my sons wedding. I also made a spinach dip all were eaten up and I had to give out the recipe several times. I'll post so you might wanna try them as appitiezers. My mom has a great recipe for squash dressing and zukinni bread. My dad is a diabetic and he eats the zukinni bread as a dessert it is so good. I would be glad to share it. Just let me know.
