About A Mom is having a one year anniversary this week!

Angela over at About a Mom is one of my best-est bloggy buddies – and it’s crazy to think that as awesome as she is, I’ve actually been blogging for a few months longer than here. I never would have guessed it – she seemed like such a pro! She says, “It’s hard to believe that a whole year has gone by, since our first blog post went up. Over the past year we’ve met a lot of fabulous people, learned a lot, and have improved so much along the way. About A Mom has given us the opportunity to experience many amazing things, but it would all be nothing without YOU – our beloved readers. So come on…lets CELEBRATE!” Wines by Wives is generously donating a one-month membership to their celebrity wine club, to help commemorate this event! [Read more…]

Summer Salsa Recipes – #FoodFunHop

I admit it… I’m a bit of a salsa junkie. When we got out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant, I spend more time eating the chips and salsa than I do on my actual dinner. We usually make our salsa at home, since there haven’t been too many store-bought varieties that I like much. They never taste as fresh as I’d like, and most of them are honestly pretty bland and boring.

wholly salsa rocks

Dip it. Top it. Spread it. Love it.

I am now a believer in store-bought salsa, after trying the amazingly unique flavors from Wholly Salsa {yep, those same folks that make Wholly Guacamole!} – This stuff is goooood. With flavors like Red Pepper and Mango Salsa, Avocado Verde, and  Pineapple Salsa – they totally get your creative cooking juices flowing. I’m thinking some totally delicious Luau Burgers at our next BBQ party…

Wholly Guacamole Event - #foodfunhop

Taste it. Try it. WIN it!!

I’ve partnered with a couple of the most creative bloggers I know – This #FoodFunHop Event is hosted by Shy Babies & Little Inspiration  – and you’ll find a super fun linky after the giveaway form, where you can hop along and see all of the other amazing recipes created with these totally delicious salsas. Warning, it’s going to make you hungry! Mmmmmm…… So, use the easy peasy Rafflecopter form to get your entries in – one lucky winner will get a HUGE Summer Salsa Kit filled with all of the yummy products you see in the pic above. Then take a few minutes to check out the other recipes – and enter to WIN again on every single site!!! How fun is that, right?

4th of July Salsa Dip

4th of July Salsa Dip

We put this little dip together the other day for a BBQ – the kids helped me, which is why it’s a little, um, less the perfect, lol. For the 4th, we’ll do a big dish of this – I’m going to make it a 7-layer dip, which is one of our favorites. The top layer here is a white Queso dip, but this would work great with a cream cheese or sour cream layer on top too. For the stripes I put the salsa in a plastic ziploc baggie, cut the corner off, and piped it on like frosting. We added some olives for stars { definitely needed another row of those!} and star-shaped tortilla chips. The chips are super simple – use a cookie cutter to cut stars out of tortillas, brush ’em with a dab of butter, the bake ’em at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Easy peasy!

Have Fun and Good Luck!

Introducing New Scentsy Layers

Scentsy is known for their wonderful scents and warmers. With so many wonderful scents, it seems natural that they branched out to a scented product line with some of the most popular scents.

With these great products you can now “Layer” yourself in your favorite scent. From the time you step in the shower until the moment you dab on your perfume you can ensure that you will smell delightful all day.
