I got together with some lovely local community minded ladies this week.  With special events and fundraisers being canceled for so long, maybe we didn’t realize how much we missed spending time gabbing, giggling and having fun with people from so many different backgrounds.   It was refreshing.  With all of that camaraderie and fun MUST come drinks and snacks.  

I can’t say that I know a whole lot when it comes to wine, but when it comes to snacks I would say that I’m pretty well-versed.  I needed something that I could make the night before that I could keep in the refrigerator at work to take to the party afterwards.  

I opted to not do something that needed to be heated.  I had some mini peppers and I remembered that I bought some “everything bagel” seasoning a while ago and I honestly forgot about it. 

I make a very simple dip with cream cheese, blue cheese dressing, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. It’s a really good veggie dip for cucumbers and great with mini peppers.  

So, I took that concept and stuffed the peppers with a similar mixture and topped with the seasoning and they were a hit!
