Before you know it bean dip!

I had a bunch of people over this weekend. I bought a couple things of salsa and chips then decided to try out my magic bullet and make some bean dip. It was definitely a hit!!



1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
1/4 of a medium-sized onion (about 1/4 cup)
1-2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
1/4 cup (fat-free) chicken or vegetable broth
2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
dollop of sour cream (optional)
cayenne pepper to taste (optional)




First ...Drain most of the liquid out of the canned beans.

Then...Load all the ingredients, in the order they are listed, into the Tall Cup.

And ... Twist on the Cross Blade and quickly Pulse until you reach the desired consistency.

My Magic Bullet.

I love buying things after I have seen a commercial online. It is sad but I love it. I have bought magic tape, magic knives even magic hooks all to great disappointment. Then one day I saw the Magic Bullet Commercial. I was hooked. I like cooking but don't have the time or experience to make truly delicious food. Could this really help me? Who knew. I ended up buying the Magic Bullet as a self Christmas present. This blog will follow me as I learn how to make all kinds of things with it!
