4 ingredients is all you need πŸ§€πŸ‘πŸ»

My mom has been making this layered chip dip since I was a kid and it’s always the first to go at any get together 😍

It’s dangerously addicting because her secret is to add chive & onion cream cheese into the sour cream to add a TON of flavor to the base layer! It also makes the base layer thick, fluffy and creamy to stack on the next layers!

What you’ll need:
πŸ§€ 16 oz chive and onion cream cheese softened
πŸ§€ 2 cups of sour cream
πŸ§€ 16 oz salsa
πŸ§€ 3-4 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar or marble cheese

Simple, nostalgic and impossible to stop eating 😍

SAVE this to make for your next poolside snack, BBQ or any last minute get together this summer β˜€οΈ

The appetizer that tastes like SUMMER πŸ‘πŸ“πŸ₯‚

An oozy baked cheese topped with fresh summer fruit and a drizzle of honey for a sweet bite! πŸ§€ it doesn’t get any better than this! One of the easiest appetizers to whip up when someone says β€œI’m coming over”

Find the full recipe in the comments ✨

What you’ll need:

πŸ§€ brie cheese
πŸ§€ strawberries
πŸ§€ peaches
πŸ§€ olive oil
πŸ§€ honey drizzle
πŸ§€ fresh basil

TIP: score the top of your brie so it bakes evenly! Never take the rind off your brie cheese especially for baking because it holds the cheese together while it cooks 🫢🏻

I love serving this alongside crackers or a fresh baguette! With a chilled glass of rosΓ© you can’t go wrong
