Sundried Tomato and Basil Hummus on toast with Avocado and Shrimp

This didn't include ingredients from my produce box, but was really good so I thought I would post it. I think it would be great as an appetizer served on toast rounds or flat bread.

Yesterday was kind of hot, I wasn't super hungry and really didn't feel like cooking, especially since we didn't have charcoal so I couldn't grill. Chris didn't have any objections so I made Hummus to spread on toast, with avocado and sauteed shrimp.

I increased the garlic by half (seeing a pattern yet?), and had a little extra sundried tomato that I decided to through in rather than keeping 2-3 pieces that wouldn't be good for anything. It was great.

Everything would have been perfect except the shrimp were a little off. But if they hadn't been off it would have been delicious!

Beef, Black Bean and Corn Nacho Dip with Sour Cream and Guacamole

We had this for dinner last night, it's pretty good. Would be great to take to a party, since it is tasty and your chips stay nice and crisp. We didn't have chili powder, so we used some cayenne, we also subbed canned corn for the frozen corn. We also added a little cumin, which I think was a good addition. If you're into heat definitely add some jalapeno!

Update: we made this for our Harry Potter Movie Marathon and we did it in the slow cooker and it was fabulous. Sautee the onion and brown the meat first then just dump it and everything else into the crockpot and leave it on low for 3-4 hours. We poured it into a baking dish, covered it with cheese, sour cream and home made Guacamole.
