Pepperoni Munchies

Made these goodness easily with saltines, layers of pepperonis and a dollop of scrumptious homemade greek yogurt with dill and pickles. 

These are so YUMMY!!!

Dill & Cucumber Yogurt Dip

I bought this deliciousness from Costco out of curiosity. It's Skotidakis' Dill & Cucumber Yogurt Dip. And boy did it make my day. It was amazingly yummy! Tangy with a touch of sweetness. It was just pure goodness! I ate it with saltine crackers, sliced salami, by itself, on scones, as a chips dip, and lots more!! Once I finished it, I was kind of sad. Then I looked over it's ingredients and it easily looked like it could be replicated. The ingredients list was just greek yogurt, dill pickles, garlic, canola oil, dill, salt and sugar. So, I looked up some recipes and came upon this Dill Pickle Dip recipe, which used almost the exact ingredients.

Here's what I used:

8 oz greek yogurt

1/3 cups minced dill pickles 

(I used my mini food processor - it was a snap!)

1 teaspoon dried dill weed 

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

freshly ground black pepper, to taste

I just mixed everything together in a small container. 

Man, was it ridiculously similar to Costso's Skotidakis' yogurt. And I'm back to being happy again. It really is tasty, especially if you are a tangy yogurt lover and/or pickle lover. It's AH-Mazing!!!

Green Beans and Polish Sausages

First, some munchies:

Saltines were slathered with both the mild goat cheese and then the greek yogurt, then topped with sliced salami and provolone cheese. 

Tasty!!

For dinner, we had these fresh homegrown green beans from the Portingas.

They were rinsed under cool water.

Then chopped into smaller pieces and boiled in boiling water for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, browned 1/2 a chopped onion and once that's lightly browned, added in a chopped tomato. Set aside. Then panfried the polish sausage separately. (We didn't do that and I think our sausages were a bit dry since the veggies took awhile to cook... We ended up taking the sausages out to panfry in a different pan to brown it.)

Added everything together and cooked until the green beans were incorporated. Seasoned with Lawry's salt.

Served with rice and leftover pasta salad. So yummy!
