TASTY MORSELS

Occasionally, when not stitching, I find my way into the kitchen. I DO love to cook, especially baking. So from time to time I'm going to add a recipe. And I'm going to try to stay organized!

APPETIZERS

LAKE CHARLES DIP

1/2 pt. sour cream
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian dressing mix
1/2 avocado, finely chopped
1 T. mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 chopped tomato
Dash Tabasco

Mix all ingredients and chill until serving.  Serve with vegetables ( I do) or chips. I sometimes double this.
