BLT Dip
"I copied this from a Paula Deen recipe on FoodNetwork.com but made a few changes in attempt to add flavor and lighten it up just a bit. I also see there are many similar recipes on RecipeZaar, but mine is slightly different. It was a hit the few times that I have made it and others have copied with rave reviews. The only negative comment I received is that it needs more bacon...but who doesn't need more bacon?"

This was something different that we liked. I didn't have time to roast the garlic so added 1 tbsp minced garlic. I would definitely roast the garlic to give it a more mild taste.

<p>I am a pretty good home cook and a Food Network junkie. Every time I host an event or create a new dish, my confidence grows....I'm always testing new ideas and sometimes (I'm a nerd) that dreams in food.</p>
<p>I was proud to have one of my recipes chosen as RecipeZaar's Recipe of the Day on 11/27/09 with my Turkey, Cranberry, & Pesto Sandwich. I also had the opportunity to cook at the Aetna Healthy Food Fight competition in Los Angeles last summer - talk about pressure!</p>
