Homemade French Onion Dip with Kettle Cooked Chips recipe, Waiting on Martha

When I’m in the mood for junk food, my go-to will forever and always be Dean’s French Onion Dip and Ruffle’s Potato Chips (well, and French Fries, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Watermelons and Flaming Hot Cheetos). But when I’m specifically craving that salty crunch, I know I’ve got to get my hands on chips and dip stat.

I like to think of my recipe for Caramelized French Onion Dip with Homemade Kettle Cooked Chips as an elevated version, if you will, of my go-to snack.  Since it’s homemade french onion dip, I say it’s a perfectly acceptable appetizer to serve at your next party. Come Fall, I know I’ll be dishing out this winning kettle cooked chips and homemade dip combo all football season long (along with tailgate-worthy drinks of course).  

Also known as the perfect tailgating snack in my household, it keeps guests happy even if there’s a fumble on the play. And if there’s ever any left over (doubtful), you can rest assured that I’ll finish up the dip and kettle cooked chips in my pajamas in bed. Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

Vegan Pesto Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe, Waiting on Martha

Recently I’ve had so much fun sharing a behind-the-scenes look into my kitchen and the recipes we’re cooking up in the Rye kitchen via Snapchat (username WAITINGONMARTHA).  And per your requests, I’m bringing you my recent recipe for my Vegan Pesto Heirloom Tomato Salad.

One of my favorite parts of summertime cooking is utilizing the fresh and seasonal ingredients that make each dish a hit.  As you’ll remember, we recently nommed on an Heirloom Tomato Spaghetti Squash Lasagna a few weeks ago that was just beyond. 

And the combination of this dish’s heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, avocados, basil, cilantro, chives and vegan pesto sauce are vibrant and delicious. The crisp crunch of the tomatoes matched with the creaminess of the avocado and the mix of flavors from the fresh herbs creates the perfect bite.  And how can I forget the sauce…it’s quite possibly the best ever vegan pesto sauce.  So. Stinking. Good!  Truly, MKR

Lavender Ginger Melon Salad Al Fresco Dinner Recipes to Try: Summer Melon Salad with Lavender & Ginger Melon Salad with Lavender & Ginger Simple SyrupSummer Melon Salad recipe

Compared to its fruity counterparts, melon can sometimes get a bad rap at the table.  But I’m here to tell you this Lavender Ginger Melon Salad puts those mediocre melon balls to shame.  With this fresh and seasonal recipe from our friends at Homespun, lavender and ginger simple syrup is poured over a melon medley, creating a delightful treat for your taste buds, all to be garnished with fresh mint.  

Serve this summer melon salad as a light start to your meal or enjoy as a healthy dessert at the end of a lovely evening al fresco.  And I’ll be taking Chef Jason’s advice and saving the simple syrup for our next bourbon libation as well. Cheers!  Truly, MKR
