Family Heirloom Recipes

Holidays like Thanksgiving are rich in tradition.  Many families repeat the same meal year after year, generation to generation.

One family heirloom recipe from my mother's side is "pink dip".  My grandmother, Nonie, made it often and it was a standard part of our holiday meals.  It's a chip dip recipe from the 50s that goes incredibly well with salty things, like pretzels and potato chips.

Careful, it is addicting.
