Layered Guacamole Dip

8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Organic pastured cream cheese is best for the most nutrients (cheese made from cows out on pasture, eating the diet God meant for them to eat, instead of GMO/genetically modified grains like corn and soybeans), but at the least do NOT buy the low-fat cream cheese, low-fat anything is fake food with fillers to replace the healthy dairy fat.

15 ounces of refried beans, I also buy organic for this and prefer refried black beans, but Kent likes refried pinto beans best. I like this brand of organic refried beans because they soak the beans FOR you, which helps with digestion. (Yep, less gas! Read more here: Got Gas? I Forgot to Soak My Beans Again! Here’s a FAST Solution.)

2 cups or so of your favorite organic salsa — Organic so you’re avoiding the chemical pesticides that are all over conventional tomato crops. (Even better is if you make salsa yourself (here’s my homemade salsa recipe) using veggies from a local farmer who you know grows his produce in healthy nutrient-dense, mineral-rich soil — if the soil isn’t healthy, the food grown there will be “dead” tasting with few nutrients. Kind of like how a lot of the produce from the store tastes in the middle of the winter because it was shipped here from another country, grown in dead soil, and picked before it was ready so it wasn’t over-ripened by the time it got to the shelf.) Best of all is to grow it in your own organic garden! 2 cups or so of your favorite organic salsa - Organic so you’re avoiding the chemical pesticides that are all over conventional tomato crops.

About 4 avocados - Avocados are one food you do NOT need to spend the extra money on organic, because they are not one of the “Dirty Dozen”, and actually are on the “Clean 15”. (See the whole list here so you know where foods fall that aren’t on the Dirty Dozen or the Clean 15.)

3 to 4 cloves of fresh minced garlic or garlic powder if you don’t have fresh

½ teaspoon of real sea salt, or more to your own taste preference

Zest from 2 lemons or limes. You can use a zester like this one or like this one. (Which kind do you like best? Because right now I just use one side of my box grater for zesting and would like a better one.)

Juice from 2 lemons and/or limes (I love this little strainer that fits nicely over a cup, I use it for all sorts of things.) Here’s the squeezer/juicer tool I use.

1 cup of sour cream - Organic sour cream from pastured cows is best, but sometimes I’ll get this brand because of the nice SHORT ingredient label.

Another ½ teaspoon of real sea salt

More options: chopped organic tomato and/or different colored organic peppers for the top, shredded cheese, black olives, green onions, what else?
