I {HEART} Cooking

I’ve been wanting to post photographs of the making process of some of my recipes, and I finally remembered to take my camera down to the kitchen, first there are 3 things you NEED to know:



1) I’m not a pro photographer, I have a point and shoot camera and stink at taking good, nice pictures –I have my sister for that ;)- plus remember I’m a doctor so I have a right not to be artsy :p

2) I don’t have a nice kitchen with nice kitchen stuff; I have a plain old kitchen with old not at all sassy thing :(

3) I don’t make fancy recipes, most of them I invented or copied somewhere from a magazine or the internet, BUT they are YUMMY and you can impress some guest with them!!!


With that being said here are two great dips for you to enjoy:


Tuna Dip

First get these ingredients

1 can of tuna in oil
½ onion
½ green pepper
2 lemons
½ red pepper (the canned one)
½ spoon of dry parsley
¼ package of leek or green onion
¼ cup of mayonnaise
1 spoon of ketchup
½ spoon of mustard
½ of Chinese sauce

Drain the tuna, and cut the onion, green pepper, red pepper and green onion into small pieces.

Take it to the food processor –mine is broken so I used the blender.

You may need to move it so it won’t get stuck and you get the nice dip consistency you need.
Put a little fresh parsley garnish and it should look like this.

Serve it chilled.

Cheese Dip

Get these ingredients:

½ pound of cream cheese
½ package of leek or green onions
¼ spoon of garlic
¼ of evaporated milk (save some more to use later)
½ red pepper (the canned one)
salt and pepper

If you use fresh cream cheese get it into crumbles –if you use the Philadelphia type you don’t have to- and cut the red pepper and green onion into pieces.

Put it all in the food processor, I used the blender –remember mine is broken.

Again you may need to move it with a spoon so it won’t get stuck and you get the dip consistency you need.
Add some green onion as garnish.

Serve it chilled with some tortilla chips and cracker (I used Pesto crackers) on some nice fishy plates :p

You could also use this to make little sandwiches or get creative!!!!
