Trader Joe’s Recipe: 2-Ingredient Chili Cheese Dip

Wanna make some kids really happy? Have a couple of bucks to spare? I have a proposition for you. I’ll trade you this super easy, football-worthy chili cheese dip recipe for a library book. Here’s what I mean:

As many of you know, I’m a teacher in addition to writing Willow Bird Baking.
My 7th grade students are choosing books from our classroom library tomorrow. The problem? Our library is small. These kids are excited about books and I want them to have amazing choices so that excitement grows!

If you have a few bucks to spare to offer a kid a good book, this Amazon wishlist includes a bunch of books I’d love for them to have access to. Both new and gently used books work great for us!

Have a favorite book from when you were in middle school? Even if it’s not on our wishlist, trust me, we’d love it! Our mailing address at school is Julie Ruble / 1949 Discovery Falls Drive / Chula Vista, CA 91915. Any book you send us will go straight into our class library with great fanfare!

Now here’s that recipe I promised — such as it is! My Trader Joe’s was sampling this combo the other day and I knew I had to share it with you. It’s just two ingredients from your local Trader Joe’s, two minutes in the microwave, and bam! Perfect football snack. Enjoy it with their new cornbread crisps, which are slightly sweet just like Southern cornbread!

For those who don’t know, in her note the words “Amazon Wishlist” is actually a link to the books Julie would like to have for the kids. It’s easy to go and pick out a book or 2 or 3 and send them to her. Her name will come up as a “ship to” choice. When you choose it, it already has her address so you don’t even need to input it.
Hatchet, Tracker, and Dogsong are on their way. I hope your students like them. They sounded so interesting I’m probably going to read them, too!
Warmly,
Susan

A couple more books coming from the reading grandma. i used to volunteer at a local first grade and that’s what they called me. Always encouraging children to read. Also thanks for the many recipes I have used from your blog. The Ultimate Coconut cake is a family favorite.

Does Trader Joe's sell Green Goddess? ›

Why is pub cheese so good? ›

Pub cheese is typically made with a hearty dose of cheese, beer, and a medley of spices or horseradish, which adds a fiery kick and massive flavor punch. It has a creamy texture and is super versatile: You can use it as a dip, melt it over fries or nachos, or even use it as a condiment for burgers and sandwiches.

Can blue cheese be warmed up? ›

Due to their high fat content, these cheeses should be treated like butter: melt them gently to avoid ending up with oily pools. Heat also intensifies whatever flavors are present in the cheese, so beware of varieties with overly bitter or moldy flavor profiles.
