Easy Fresh Salsa

June 2, 2018 by Debbie 5 Comments

Easy Fresh Salsa is such a cinch to make you will never buy the stuff in a jar again. Adjust the spiciness to taste and you will not be able to stop dipping, trust me. Summer is here and that means keeping the groceries stocked for three teenage boys. One of my sixteen year olds was standing in front of my well stocked pantry complaining there was NOTHING to eat. I was a little confused since there was plenty of his favorite foods, I asked what he wanted. His response was there was no chips and dip of any kind . Well OK, that was probably the only thing I didn’t buy. A few days after that we went to a friends house for Memorial Day to BBQ and swim. I made a double recipe of this salsa and basically three teenage boys devoured it while they were in and out of the pool. The adults got a little , but very little.

Meaty Queso Blanco Dip

May 13, 2018 by Debbie Leave a Comment

This Meaty Queso Blanco Dip is super easy to make in the slow cooker. This queso is so hearty and flavorful you will not be able to stop dipping In my past experiences of making cheese dip at home it was basically dumping the yellow Velveeta cheese and a can of rotel in a pot. While this is perfectly acceptable it is not even close to the dip that is served in Mexican restaurants. The Queso Blanco Velveeta has made life easy for all of us that crave the cheesy yumminess. Most places offer to put meat in the queso so living in a house full of meat lovers it is only natural to add it.

Who doesn’t have memories of eating cookie dough straight out of the bowl as a kid and just being in cookie dough heaven?? This Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Ball is just like eating the real stuff but you don’t have to worry about the uncooked eggs. WINNING!!

Bacon Bean Dip

A few weeks ago I was in New Orleans for a two day high school wrestling tournament. I don’t know if any of you have experienced watching your kid get on a wrestling mat for 6 minutes but it is pretty intense. When things end for the evening the boys go back to their hotel rooms and the parents find a place to eat and unwind for the evening. We usually find a Mexican place since we are all in need of a good margarita, but we were in New Orleans . In my minds eye I saw an evening of charbroiled oysters, shrimp po-boys and hurricanes and it was shot down by needing to find the nearest Mexican restaurant. Who knew such a thing existed in The Big Easy??
