My sister’s husband just turned 41 this past weekend! We had a family get-together to celebrate and to visit with my nephew, who is a Marine and was only home for the weekend.

All the kids got to roast weenies on the fire and we had lots of yummy food. Some were old favorites and some were new ones like the Black Bean Corn Bites.

Frito-Lay’s Corn and Black Bean Bites Recipe

This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare, you can make it the night before and add it to TOSTITOS® SCOOPS!® Tortilla Chips in just minutes!

I also made my sisters amazing Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip! Just like the Bean Bites, this dip can be served with Lay’s® Classic Chips or Tostitos® Scoops!®.

I’ve never seen a recipe like this online. Most of them use mayonnaise, this one has heavy whipping cream. If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese, don’t worry. I’ve had people eat this that hate cottage cheese, tell me this was the best dip they’ve ever had!
