1 large bag baked tortilla chips
1 can ff refried beans(15oz?)
1/2 package old el paso taco seasoning
1/2 cup your favorite salsa
8 oz ff cream cheese
2 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup ff fancy shredded cheddar
1 cheese
3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup chopped tomato
Directions
Mix together the refried beans and taco seasoning and spread in the
bottom of 2 small or 1 large shallow serving dishes. In a food
processor, blender or with a hand mixer combine the salsa and cream
cheese (it will be runny). Pour over the beans and layer the other
ingredients in order ending with the tomatoes. Refrigerate for at
least 1 hour before serving. Serve with baked tortilla chips - my
favorite brand is Tostitos. I sometimes garnish by edging the dish
with chips.

The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and disposable income. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
