Last night, Hubby and I had to attend a get together for a possible new pastor. We ate dinner with other members of the Call Committee and their spouses.
I was to bring appetizers or finger food. Veggie tray was my first thought. I bought some red pepper hummus but also made some pumpkin hummus for dipping. Since people don’t always like hummus, I made some ranch dressing also. So right before we get ready to leave, I can’t find my veggie tray. (I was packing the veggies in containers so I could assemble it there.) We had to come up with a plan B. We ended up using one of my cake pans instead.
I also brought queso dip and tortilla chips. That was the real star. The host kept some of the dip while another took the remainder home. A third asked for the recipe. It is super easy to make!
