prairie fire bean dip
(1 RATING)
Back in the early 1970's we had a group of us young married couples that always got together every weekend to do fun things. We'd play air hockey, go out for dinners in nice restaurants, listen to music, watch movies and have pizza parties. We never just had pizza only, but we'd put together a full buffet of appetizers and munchies because it would always be a full evening of fun, so we needed lots of food to graze on. Those days are gone, and most of us have split from our first spouses and moved on, but those early memories still remain! They were good times!
