Cindee's Nacho Cheese Sausage Dip

Cindee's Nacho Cheese Sausage Dip is a hot, melty, cheesy, 4-ingredient crock pot appetizer that is perfect for parties!

For as long as I can remember, my Step-Mom has been making this dip when we have family gatherings and parties.  Whenever we hop in the car to head to my Dad and Step-Mom's house, I'm always thinking in the back of my mind, "I hope she made her sausage dip."

Lucky for me, I got the recipe in a cookbook that my sister compiled for me as a gift when I got married. It's full of family submitted recipes, and I think my step-mom knows how much I love this dip because it's one of the ones she shared!

White Bean Dip

White Bean Dip is a fresh and flavorful appetizer made by blending cannellini beans with garlic, fresh lemon juice, herbs, and pecorino romano cheese.

When I'm having guests over I like to make recipes that allow me to have more time mingling and less time in the kitchen, especially when it comes to the appetizers.  Easy to make appetizers are the best kind, don't you think?  I love when I find a recipe that comes together really easily and still tastes amazing.

This bean dip is made by throwing all of the ingredients into your food processor and giving it a few whirls until it's nice and creamy.  That's it!  It doesn't get much easier than that!

Slow Cooker Garlic Mushrooms

Slow Cooker Garlic Mushrooms are an easy to make, delicious side dish combination of button mushrooms with white wine, garlic, and fresh herbs!

One of my very favorite cooking methods is slow cooking.  My slow cooker is well-loved and frequently used, especially for those hearty fall stick-to-your-bones kind of meals.

While slow cookers are perfect for those rich meals, it's also great for cooking light sides like these Slow Cooker Garlic Mushrooms that are perfect served with steaks, pork and chicken!  The best part about this recipe?  The broth is the perfect base for a killer mushroom gravy or vegetarian soup.  Yes!

You would never guess by looking at my Pinterest boards (or my hips for that matter) that I don't really love eating sweets.  My Desserts & Sweets board on Pinterest has more than double the of pins of any of my other boards.  I'm always drooling over the pictures over there on Pinterest, but I think I like looking at pictures of sweet stuff more than actually eating it.

Sure, I have plenty of sweets on the blog, cookies, cake, and lots of other sweet treats, but if you browse around, you'll soon find that the savory recipes here on The Two Bite Club far outweigh the sweet ones.

When I was young, I had a picture in my head of what I was going to be like when I became a mother.

I envisioned myself as the quintessential homemaker.

I planned to be a mother to six with a doting husband and a dog.  I would have an immaculate house, workout every day. and still have time for cookie baking, car-pooling, and I'd have a homemade dinner on the table every night promptly at 5:30 pm.

Parmesan Tortellini with Mushrooms and Bacon

Parmesan Tortellini with Mushrooms and Bacon is a creamy and cheesy pasta dish featuring cheese tortellini swimming in a rich parmesan sauce tossed with caramelized mushrooms and smoky bacon.

This recipe goes along with the mindset that if you're going to do something, well, you might as well go all out.  There's no holding back when it comes to the richness in the delicious pasta dish.

Cooking with tortellini is one of my favorite ways to mix it up when it comes to pasta night.  Cheese filled is my favorite, but this dish could easily work with whatever tortellini filling you like.

Tortellini is especially yummy when you serve it with a decadent sauce like this one! There's a boat load of parmesan cheese (hence the name Pamesan Tortellini) in this creamy sauce.

And butter.

And cream cheese.

Oh, and heavy cream, too.

All I'm saying is that you might have to break out your fat pants when you make it. And we haven't even mentioned that fact that there's bacon!

Madness.  Sheer, glorious, indulgent, cheesy, bacony madness.  And I'm betting you'll love every bite!

Tomato Pie

A Tomato Pie is a savory pie filled to the brim with gorgeous tomatoes, fresh herbs, tangy greek yogurt, and lots of sharp cheese.

A few years back, my step-mom gave me this recipe for tomato pie.  I don't remember the circumstances that led up to her giving me the recipe, but it has sat in my file folder where I store my magazine clippings and printed recipes for quite some time.

Up until now, I hadn't gotten around to making it.  Not sure why.  I'm actually kicking myself for not making it sooner because it was good.

Damn good.
