Yeah, well, I’m in. There is NO freakin’ way I’ll make it, but Jen’s comment asking for a new recipe did the trick. I figured, well, I’ve been a cook since I was 10, so I’m sure I can fill in with recipes on days when the writer’s block sets in.
You know, when I first started blogging, I was able to post daily. Posts entered my head at such a random pace that I found myself jotting ideas down regularly. I don’t know what happened, but the ideas stopped. I was soon faced with shutting it down completely or managing to come up with something on an irregular basis. I made the decision to keep Jambalaya up for a little while longer, and here we are. It’s almost a challenge to me to see if I’m able to keep it up.
And it’ll be a challenge to you to remain interested.
First things (and first posts) first, then. Since Jennifer left a comment at my last post asking for a new recipe, here you go. This is one that I’ve shared with several friends and one that I SWEAR has gotten people engaged. It’s that freakin’ good. Trust me.
HOT ONION SOUFFLE DIP
3 8-oz. packages cream cheese
1 bag frozen chopped onions (12-16 oz.)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Bring cream cheese to room temperature. In a large mixing bowl, blend cream cheese with mayo until smooth. Add in Parmesan cheese, followed by onions. Mix well. Spoon into 9 x 13 greased baking pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Serve with Frito’s Scoops or Triscuit crackers.
(Note: DO NOT TRY TO MAKE THIS DIP HEALTHY. DO NOT use lo-fat cream cheese or mayo. DO NOT use nasty-ass Parmesan cheese in a can. DO NOT use fresh onions. DO trust me. This is worth the fat grams and calories. You can go back to lo-fat tomorrow.)

Did you give that recipe to Tiff? I think I ate that at Tiffoween and it was luscious!!!
I am thrilled that you’re going to do 30 posts in 30 days. I’ll be here for them, even if you’re boring – which you won’t be.

Aww welcome back possum. As a daily poster, I know what you mean but it’s better than television so . . Most days I’m ‘at it ’so to speak. You have cheese in a can? Good Grief! And whilst I have no idea what Frito’s Scoops or Triscuit Crackers are, I’m sure I can improvise. With the cost of living going up, can you post a ‘million ways with mince’ (ground beef for you heathens!)

That sounds DELICIOUS. No low fat here, I promise.
Please don’t let NaNo…whatever convince you to close shop. If you write, we’ll read.
We PROMISE!

I take recipes that call for low fat/no fat products and use their regular fat counterparts, so I’m not about to substitute anything less than the real thing!
And Baino – frito scoops are corn chips (like a potato chip, but made with corn) and triscuits are similar to a cracker – you could use Ritz crackers with this recipe and they’d be good too. Do you have Ritz there?

Kenju, yes, I did give it to Tiff — so glad you enjoyed it. I can make a meal of the stuff. Baino, any hard chip or cracker will work — because of the consistency of the dip, you can’t use something that will break. Try it!

Like, WOW! I was gonna link to the LAST time you posted that, because I made it for Tiffoween and it was a big hit. Glad you could be here at least in some way!
(btw, she came in the house after I grated 2 cups of fresh Parmesan, wrinkled her nose, and said, ‘why does it smell like barf in here?’
The smell goes away after it’s all baked up…)

Yes, db grin, I heard it was a big hit. Long as you gave me props.

Thirty in thirty days? No. Way.
November 3, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I’ve made that one. Go you for joining in the challenge. Some days, I am full of ideas and others I’m not! I’m hoping I can hoard them all up in drafts and post them as the need comes! LOL
