Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Bacon Ranch Dip

When IT Guy and I married, he introduced me to snacking at night. In my family, growing up, dinner was promptly eaten at 5:00 pm...rain or shine. My mom didn't fix very many desserts unless we were having company so if we wanted a little something to eat in the evening, we had a bowl of ice cream or maybe a bowl of cereal. Chips were unheard of. So after I married IT Guy and he broke out the chips one evening and started eating them, I looked at him like he was from Mars. I couldn't believe my eyes and just KNEW the police would show up at our doorstep at any moment and haul him off to the pokey. But he convinced me it was the thing to do...having chips in the evening. I just wish I'd had this dip back then. It's so good and we can't get enough of it. It's better if it sits a few hours in the fridge....over night is better. If you don't want to mess with cooking the bacon, you can always use the pre-cooked bacon bits. This stuff is addicting, I'm telling you!
