Food Heals

I learned a lot of things over the past weeks with the passing of my father.  One of them is the power of food to heal.  The time we spent at my father’s side the last few days of his life and the days following his death planning the memorial service time seemed to move so slowly, almost standing still.  I also discovered that I didn’t have much of an appetite or at least thought I didn’t.  But when I finally did eat something it was amazing how good it tasted and how much it helped soothe my nerves and how hungry I really was!

What a blessing it was to have friends bring by food!  One friend brought by an entire roasted turkey and huge loaf of homemade bread along with cookies.  Other treats were dropped off at our door.  Another friend offered to fix my family Sunday dinner the day after the funeral as she knew I would be exhausted and have had no time to shop or cook and I had a house full of family.  It was all such a blessing.

The night of the memorial service we gathered at my brothers and enjoyed all the delicious food that had been dropped off at our homes the past few days.  One thing my sister in law had put together for us was today’s recipe for Chili Con Queso Dip.  We all stood around the bowl on the counter and devoured it.

What is Cold Chili Con Queso?

Typically, a chili con queso dip is a hot cheese dip, like this recipe here but today’s version is a chilled version. Several years ago we had a grocery store near our home that carried this dip.  I loved it and was so sad when the store went out of business and I could no longer buy it.

When I tasted the Chili Con Queso Dip my sister in law had made that evening after my father’s funeral, it tasted just like my favorite dip!  I couldn’t believe it and was so excited that I could now make this dip at home.

The only other thing you need is some tortilla chips!

How to Make Chili Con Queso Dip

The dip is super simple and only has four ingredients and comes together in a matter of minutes!  

  • Combine 1 cup each of mayo, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese.  
  • Seasoning. The only other thing you need is a package of Hidden Valley Fiesta Ranch Dip Mix.  This can be difficult to find in grocery stores so I order it off of Amazon.
  • Mix it all together!

This stuff literally disappeared in minutes.  Lucky for us, Tracy had enough ingredients to make a second batch.  I plan on keeping these ingredients on hand at all times!

I am so glad to have this dip back in my life again!!
