Happy Monday! A new week is here. Yay! Anything exciting on your agenda? Well, tomorrow I leave for my third trip of the month to Utah. As exhausting as this month has been, I am super excited to hang out with my blog bestie (Jenn) and attend a work conference.
Anywho, let’s talk about delicious food, shall we? I love beans (giggle). Garbanzo beans, refried beans, pork and beans and more! So, sharing this Black Bean Dip recipe with all of you is making my taste buds water… it is soooo good! I made this with my Mom (hi mom) and I couldn’t wait to finish photographing it so I could keep eating it. True story!

01/15/2019 at 6:42 pmGross does not even begin to describe this dip! I kept looking to see if I put the wrong ingredients in it. Nope, I did it right. It should not have Balsamic Vinegar!
Molly says
01/18/2019 at 6:28 pmGood but WAY WAY WAY WAY too oniony!! I used half an onion and that was still pushing it!
Samantha says
04/13/2019 at 2:53 pmI am not a fan. The onion was over powering and I only used half of what the recipe called for. After the aggressive onion flavor leaves, all I taste is balsamic vinegar. I love black beans. This was a miss.
