It took some time for me to get this together, but here is a collage of the cookies that I made this year for the holidays. Better late than never I guess!

Chile con Queso Superbowl Dip
Get
ready for your Superbowl party with this great homemade Queso dip. This recipe was a part of a Christmas gift
from my sister and she received the recipe from a friend. It is a great replacement for the canned
cheese that you tend to see at football parties. Subtly spicy and with great cheese flavor,
this warm dip is a great compliment to veggies or chips.
