Ugly Bean Dip

Happy Spring! It finally warmed up here and our weather has beeeeyouteeeeful! It’s all about the yardwork here in the spring. Can you believe I held out until May 1st before I had to mow the lawn? Brownie Points for Mother Nature! Last year, spring was so early I think I mowed during the first week of April.

All this yardwork means not much sewing. I’ve pre-washed a few fat quarter packs, but that’s about it. And the kids were briefly home to go to a wedding, so I made one of our favorite dips to have with tortilla chips.

Thimbleanna: Ugly Bean Dip

I got this recipe years ago from one of the women who was in our now defunct quilt group.  It’s called Ugly Bean Dip and I didn’t know it, but SweetiePie said they love it and she makes it when they have friends over. So, you know it must be good! ;-D

  1. That dip looks yummy! By any chance do you know the name of the fabric on the right side of the photo? Several years ago I purchased a precut jelly roll that had a strip of that red with orange flowers fabric.

  2. I’m glad you’re seeing Spring come alive in your corner. We’ve got a chilly, rainy weekend after hitting the 80s a few days this past week. (Yo-yo-ing weather.;)

    That dip looks fabulous!. I’m droolin’. Thanks for the recipe. Have a great weekend!

  3. Yum! Must try this dip (although to me it’s more like a salad).
    Glad to know that Spring has finally arrived at your end of the world. Happy Spring to you too.

  4. Might be ugly but looks delicious. It would have gone perfectly with our Mexican dinner last night.
    Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  5. ha ha ha!!! we have a recipe for cookies that took on the name “dianne’s mom’s ugly oatmeal cookies” and they are goooooood!!! but they are U-G-L-Y – and they ain’t got no alibi…

  6. Hehehe love the name, still looks yummie. Your pictures are so beautiful, you must give me tips on photography when we meet :)

  7. Wow, that dip looks good!! I’ll add it to my ever growing list of things to try (darn pinterest!)

    And I am loving this weather! I think I’ve spent more time outside than I have inside lately. Spring sure took a long time to get here this year, and I want to enjoy every beautiful minute of it. :)

  8. white peg corn?
    @isabel i’m sure anna emailed you and explained, but in the us cilantro is the leaf (and the plant) and coriander is the seed and the spice made from the ground seed. anna, do you know if cilantro is spanish and maybe we got that from mexican and/or spanish cooking… i’ll need to find that out. now i want to know the “why”
