The Best Burger and Fry Sauce

I promised you the best burger (and fry) sauce ever, so here you go! 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoons spicy pickle juice 1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder ETC. I used dill pickle juice and garlic salt instead of powder because that’s all I had. You can just eyeball the ingredients, no need to do exact measurements. (From Epicurious)

Brie, Pesto, and Tomato Crostini

I turned my favorite Holiday dip into delicious crostinis for a party the other night. Slice a baguette into thin slices.     Layer: Pesto (store bought is fine) Brie cheese Diced tomatoes Toasted pine nuts   Broil until cheese starts melting and tomatoes blister. If you prefer a dip- throw all ingredients into an oven proof dish and cook at 350 for 20-30 minutes. *chunk the Brie cheese so it melts throughout. You won’t go through another holiday season without this appetizer…Trust me!
