My black bean dip takes me way back. OK, really, way back! I was a junior at Pitt, living in my first apartment, getting into to ska and punk music, and a vegetarian. I was invited to a birthday cookout in the suburbs. So I played around with some black beans, lime, and spices to make a dip to bring. I started making it for family and friends. It was a hit and became a go-to for gatherings for years to come. This was the very first recipe I ever created. A long, long time ago! I wanted to share this memory with you and the fact that some of my creations are more than a recipe to me. They are an experience from my life. And sometimes share with you at 💚
