Tidbits ~ Egg Dip

I spent part of my day cleaning out the refrigerator.   It was hot and humid, and a good day for laundry too.   I had to do some sewing, so I got that done as well.  

Although I felt better, I woke up at 3am with a killer sort throat.  I guess I'll be drinking hot ginger tea today.  I ran out of chamomile, but have fresh organic ginger on hand. 

The rain fell yesterday, so I may run out and start gutting the garden.  I got a text from Hubby to "stay out of the garden" but it needs started.  The girls can help this weekend, and get it done faster.


The girls and I have an agreement, that if any job is left undone or half way done, or not done right, they have to do a job on my list.  One left the dishes sitting and did not dry and put them away.  She'll be getting a job, even if it's on the weekend.  I'm thinking the window blinds or cleaning the chicken coop.

Now for the newest recipe...


Egg Dip - a from "pile to file" recipe. I had cut it out of a local newspaper several years ago.


I'll be honest, I was not sure I was making this recipe right at first.  Once you heat the eggs with the butter, sugar and vinegar, it cooks the eggs and thickens the mixture.  It was wonderful!  I will definitely make this dip again, and it would be great for a "crowd pleaser."  Now that we are down to four people, I put the dip into two dishes, one for Hubby and I and one for the two girls.  Hubby was trying to bribe the girls for their bowl of dip too, ha ha!  That is how delicious this dip is.  It will replace any french onion dip recipe that I kept too.  I love the fact it has fresh onion and green pepper in it.

I wonder how my dandelion vinegar would taste in this.  I may even try it again, when I am up to taking a trip to the store.  I have to buy the organic green peppers, and cream cheese now.  I do miss my homemade goat's milk cream cheese.  



Egg Dip

2 farm fresh eggs
2 Tbsp. organic butter
2 Tbsp.  organic sugar
2 Tbsp. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 pkg.  organic cream cheese (8 oz)
1 organic onion, med, chopped
½ organic green pepper, chopped

Combine eggs, butter, sugar and vinegar in a saucepan, and heat until mixture thickens.  Set aside.  While mixture is still warm, beat in cream cheese and onion and pepper.  Chill until ready to serve.   

Now go whip up some homemade crackers or chips and make a bowl of this!  I know I'll be making it again, and again this winter for fall and winter holiday parties.

That dip sounds wonderful! I need to make some cream cheese and try this out. I am hoping to clean out the garden this weekend, too. It is about 80% weeds but it's so dry, it's like yanking them out of cement.
Susan, the dip is wonderful. I just weeded for two hours, and came in drenched with sweat. Since it rained a bit I could pull the grass, but not the big stuff. I hope it rains again. I have a lot to pull out.

I am making that dip for this holiday weekend. It's just me, myself and I but we're celebrating! Thanks for the recipe! Don't work too hard.

I sure hope that throat gets better. No fun having a sore throat, especially on a holiday weekend. That dip does sound good. Will have to try it. I bet it would be good on toasted French or Italian bread slices too.
Have a great weekend.
God bless.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
