Visit www.downtownbend.org for more details as well as ongoing information on Downtown Bend.

It's been a while since we've posted a favorite recipe. Since football season is here, we thought we'd feature a simple and delicious dip recipe:

Mindy Scanagatta's
5 Layer Bean Dip

1 can refried beans
2 avocados
1 teaspoon garlic powder
16oz sour cream
1 package taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can sliced black olives (4.25oz)


Layer beans in the bottom of a medium sized serving dish or casserole (try Azu's Tropical Garden Chip n' Dip). Mix avocado and garlic powder until guacamole consistency; layer over the refried beans. Mix sour cream and taco seasoning; layer over avocado mixture. Top with cheese and olives. Enjoy!

If you'd like to add some fun to this recipe, serve it in Azu's Tropical Garden Chip n' Dip.

Instead of serving the chips in the large leaf shaped base, make your dip in the base and serve sliced tomatoes or salsa in the small ceramic container. To make the pieces even more appealing, visit www.azuhome.com (or click on the image above) and use the discount code "bean-dip" (without the quotations) at checkout and receive 30% off the purchase of this particular item! Regularly $42.00...now $29.40!

Don't forget that Friday September 26th and Saturday September 27th is Bend's Oktoberfest. Also, Friday October 3rd is Bend's First Friday Art Hop. Join the locals in visiting retail stores that are sponsored by wineries and each store will have a featured artist. Visit www.downtownbend.org for more information.
