I have been a dip and salsa kick lately. It has to be the warm weather, drawing me into the summer fun and hopes of wearing flip flops on the beach. Even though I can’t get to the beach, does not mean that I can’t celebrate summer a little early, right? This Guacomole Salsa will get you into the summer mood! A combination of thick and creamy Guacamole with a hint of salsa, your friends and family are sure to be begging you for this recipe! Guacamole Salsa With just a few simple ingredients, the only tool you will need for this recipe is a blender or food processor! Guacamole Salsa If you like your salsa or guacamole with a little kick, you can add more jalapeños, or none at all, it is up to you! Guacamole Salsa I like dips and salsas because I have some picky eaters in my house. But, if they have something they can dip their food into it, they seem to eat everything on their plate. I guess they like the idea of “playing” with their food, which they probably got from me. Taquitos and Tacos are the perfect dipping tool for this Guacamole Salsa! You can find a ton of different options in beef or chicken at Walmart! I am loving the Beef and Cheese Tacos from Delimex! Delimex Mexican dishes are the perfect food to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, check out some other yummy recipes here!

  I like to create a dipping station with my favorite Queso Blanco Dip and Chuncky Blender Salsa! It gives the family options, and it is always fun to dip and mix the different salsas!

Something about Salsa just screams summer to me! With the weather in the 80’s, it might as well all ready be summer. Everything is blooming, and I will soon have tons of fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. Although none of my veggies in the garden have produced, the farmers market down the street has some nice fresh veggies already!

So, I decided that today was the day to make this Easy Chunky Blender Salsa! I love salsa, and when I can throw everything together in one container to make it, it is a plus!

Chicken Carbonara Recipe!

What a crazy week this has been! Let me start by saying, I moved away from Michigan because I hated the winters. Now, here in North Carolina we have ice and snow and the temperature is dropping to the single digits this week…. SINGLE digits! I think it may be time to move further south… Since everything has shut down (which I find funny), I was in a bind on what to make for dinner. After raiding the pantry and fridge I committed to making a super yummy Chicken Carbonara Recipe! Nothing cheers me up like dinner that includes bacon! Bacon fixes everything, in my opinion… and chocolate… chocolate too! Chicken Carbonara Recipe! This recipe is super easy to make, and great for if you have any left over chicken from a previous meal… If not, it is still easy to make. And did I mention bacon?

5 Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese

I must start off with a warning. If you are on a diet, slowly back away, or stay and lick the screen until your heart is content! I won’t judge… I swear! Ever just have one of those days that you had no idea what to make for dinner? Yesterday was that for me, and sometimes I throw together something not so great, and others become new family favorites. This Macaroni and Cheese is now a family favorite. Who knew by throwing in some butter, bacon grease, flour, cream and every last bit of cheese in your house could create something so mouthwatering? I may try doing that more often!
