Jalapeno Corn Dip is loaded with fresh peppers, onions, cilantro, and cheese for a spicy Mexican dip. This colorful veggie dip is a perfectly refreshing alternative to plain old chips and salsa!
As you may have noticed, Lemon Tree Dwelling has a bit of a new look! Yes…..I made the long overdue switch from Blogger to WordPress, and with it, I made a commitment to lots and lots of extra time spent editing and tweaking and getting everything just right!! I’m not gonna lie…..I have definitely shed tears over the transfer. Not because of anything specific, just a million little things that make me feel like I have no idea what I’m doing! (Or like I’d need 48 hours in a day to get it all done!)
It makes me wonder why I didn’t just start with WordPress back in the beginning…..but to be honest, when I started blogging, I never thought it would grow into anything more than a fun little hobby! I didn’t realize how I’d get sucked into photography and social media and coming up with my own new recipes. How I’d start planning meals around whether or not I’d be able to photograph them before we ate them. How I’d develop such a love for mantel decor and cute little crafts and….of course….no bake treats!
Aside from all the specifics, though, I don’t think I realized just how much blogging would do for me as an individual. What a sense of pride or accomplishment it would give me. How many great new people I would meet. Or how much I needed it! When I started blogging, I was 2 years into being a stay-at-home mom….and I really needed something. So I guess what I’m saying, in a round about sort of way, is that all the extra time I’m spending on getting everything just right is worth it! (Or at least I’m going to keep telling myself that…..!)
Creamy Jalapeno Dip
The good news (or bad…depending on how you look at it) is that, as a food blogger, there are always plenty of treats and snacks around the house. Which comes in especially handy during stressful times, or late night work sessions, or WordPress transfers! This Creamy Jalapeno Dip is one of my favorites. It is creamy but not heavy…and with all the veggies, it’s definitely a lighter alternative to what I COULD be eating! It’s perfect, not only for late nights, but for parties and get-togethers, too. (Not that I have any time for those right now…..!)

What a fantastic recipe! It sounds like a great alternative to salsa, just to change it up a bit. Great appetizer for a football party 🙂
Happy Blogging!

Thanks so much, Eric! I find that regular salsa never goes over so well at parties….but I’m imagining this dip will! (I’ll let you know after our Super Bowl party!) Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Allllll of these dips look so incredible. God I wish I was your neighbor haha! Now you’ve got me super curious about the differences between Blogger and WordPress… I’m still using Blogger, but am I shooting myself in the foot?!

Thanks, Bailey! If you were my neighbor I could PROMISE you lots of tasty treats!! 🙂 I made the decision to switch to WordPress as my blog was becoming less of a hobby and more of something I wanted to make money with. Not sure where you are at with yours….feel free to email or message me if you want to chat about it!! One thing for sure – Blogger is much more user-friendly 🙂
Angie says
This dip looks amazing!!! I can’t wait to try this. Although dips like buffalo chicken and salsa are really tasty, I was starting to get a little sick of the same dip! it’s nice to try something new. Thanks for the recipe, I’m excited!!

This is absolutely delicious and so fresh tasting – I could just eat it with a spoon! I thought I’d need to doctor it up somehow, but the flavors are amazing!!
Danah Harper says
How about backing the sour cream and mayo down a little bit and serving as a side salad.
Cathy Trochelman says
Yes, good idea!
