Mexican Bean Dip Anyone?

Summer may not official be here, but it has sure felt like it

these last few days.

During the summer months, my husband (who works outside) 

does not care for  a big huge meal.  

He would rather something cool and light.

A few years ago, I was introduced to 

Seven Layer Bean Dip Recipe

Mine looks nothing like this one!

I have to leave some stuff out since

my husband does not like tomatoes, and

one of my dd does not like lettuce..

so mine looks more like this:

Still and all  it makes for a great light lunch... 

best thing...

my girls love what they think is "junk food" for lunch!

It really is so simple.  

This has become one of those hot summer

day meals for my family.

(Especially when I don't want to turn on my oven or stove)

Enjoy!
