My sister was nice enough to host an open house for the Beaches Jazz Festival. When my parents lived there we could always make a fun night of it, as its better when you have a home base. This year my sister had an afternoon event, with everyone heading down in the evening. Unfortunately it rained quite hard in the afternoon, but luckily it cleared up for the evening portion.
Of course i offered to make a food contribution for the event - since it was a drop in there was no need to make anything too intricate, so i settled with some dips. I have a great and super easy seven layer dip that people like so i thought i would make that for sure, but for the second i wanted to do something i had never done before/.
A few weeks before my friend Melanie had done a hot crab dip that went over well, so i texted her and got the recipe. It was really easy and definitely a crowd pleaser! Its originally from Epicurious - Hot Crab Dip. I did of course make a few alernations - i used shallots instead of onions, and used reduce fat cream cheese, half sour cream/half mayo.
Seven layer ingredients
The layers:Salsa
Re-fried Beans
tomatoes, onions and jalepnos
guacamole (okay this is a layer in itself)
sour cream
lettuce
cheese
I top it off with the left-over tomatoes and onions.
Wrapped and Ready to go
The spread (yeah that's a sushi boat)
