Refried Beans Dip ohsweetbasil.com

First, it’s almost time for one of my favorite holiday’s that I have pretty much no connection with and I’m almost a little embarrassed to admit that it’s the food that makes it one of my favorite days. And second it’s almost time for me to scamper off to Miami with  Pretzel Crisps® for the BlogHer Food conference! I had so much fun last year and I cannot wait to discover a new city this year. Of course I had to go back to one of the first dips I ever devoured growing up, refried beans dip.

I must have only been in elementary school, well maybe like 5th or 6th grade. Anyway, a group of girls and I were hanging out and being the silly girls that we were when the mom of the house we were at brought down some refried beans dip with gooey cheese all over the top. And pretty much I was sold. But of course now that I’ve discovered Jalapeno Jack pretzel crisps, which make my dad and Cade oh so very happy we had no choice but to pair that awesomeness with this dip.

And of course, being the food blogger that I am, and being married to a man that is awesome in the kitchen and suggested it our bean dip is even better than the one I had years ago. This one the beans are all zesty with some smoky spices mixed in. It just takes things up a notch and you will love it!
