This dip is dangerously good. I really wanted to save my appetite for the turkey dinner at our pre-thanksgiving party, but I kept going back for just one more dip! Super easy to make, too.

I'm looking forward to trying some of your recipes. We go camping a lot...so I definitely want to try the campfire baked potatoes!

We served these at a friend's Thanksgiving party last night as a hot appetizer. They were a huge hit! The flavor is outstanding. We forgot the final eggwash before covering in breadcrumbs, but the patties were moist enough to hold the breadcrumbs without the eggwash. So if you want a bit less egg, that is an option. One nice aside, the eggplant holds it's heat well. So while most croquettes quickly cool after being served, these hold their warmth for more than 1 hour. Great for a party where people are going to be grazing for a while.

I forgot about these! I'm going to make these for kid appetizers at Thanksgiving. Yum! I'll make extra for those adults that sneak a few.

This is a simple recipe that is much more flavorful than any mexican rice I've had in a restaurant.

It's almost impossible to make something that tastes this good with this little effort. This pork packs an amazing punch of flavor!

This is a wonderful side dish or warm salad to start a meal with.
