6 Layer Taco Dip!!!

Kitchen, Uncategorized

June 23, 2014 by Drafts & Crafts

Need I say more– I think 6 Layer Taco Dip says it all. Once you upgrade your taco dip to individual cups you will not go back. There is something about grabbing your own cup and being able to enjoy it at your leisure.

I brought these perfect little appetizer cups to a dinner party. This recipe offers room for creativity, next time I plan to garnish it with homemade pico de gallo. You can leave out or replace any layer you may not care for. I kept it simple for the first time to make sure people enjoyed it. Everyone said they were delicious and my husband and I ate one for lunch the next day! photo 1-12

{Time} 45 mins-1 hour, depending on if you are a perfectionist

{Amount} 14 cups (9 oz cups with rims that are wide at the top)

{Ingredients}

  • 24 oz of salsa (2 cans)
  • 16 oz of sour cream
  • 3+ cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 or 8 oz can of sliced black olives
  • 2 cans of refried beans
  • 3 avocados
  • 1 package of guacamole seasoning mix (I used McCormick)
  • 1 package of low sodium taco seasoning mix (I used McCormick)

**This can easily be made in a smaller quantity: to fill about 6-7 cups use 1 can of salsa, 8 oz sour cream, and 1 can refried beans. You could skip a layer if you do not care for an ingredient and replace it with something like, corn or tomatoes**

How to Kick off Summer

Junk Drawer, Uncategorized

June 20, 2014 by Drafts & Crafts

There is no better way to kick off summer than with a backyard Cookout! Must-haves: great weather, great food, and even better company!

This week marks the start to summer! Even though the past few weeks have already felt like summer, phewww! I can not personally think of many things that I enjoy doing more than hosting a cookout. My husband is amaze on the grill and I love to make all of the side dishes! Our best friends were visiting from Florida so we wanted to do something fun and low key at the house. My girlfriend is from Northern VA so her cousins were able to come by as well, the more the merrier! We made burgers, dogs, baked beans with rib meat, pasta salad, nutella cheesecake mousse, and blue hawaiian punch.

Nutella Cheesecake Mousse

Kitchen, Uncategorized

June 19, 2014 by Drafts & Crafts

This perfect dessert is a hybrid of cheesecake and mousse so I am calling it
Nutella Cheesecake Mousse in mini mason jars! 

Who does not love Nutella?? Ok, admittedly, someone out there does not. BUT WE LOVE Nutella in my house!! And when combined with cheesecake, how can you go wrong? These little babies are great when entertaining guests. It is the perfect amount of sweet and if anyone is too full for dessert, then simply take it home to save it for later!

This recipe does require some patience since there are several steps, however, it is pretty easy overall. You do not have to use mason jars, you can use any small bowl or little dessert cup too. I recently doubled the recipe and tried to fill 14 mason jars but I got a little over zealous and should have stuck to the normal dozen, 12 jars.

{Time} 1 hour to 1.5 hours (dependent upon how fancy you want to get)

{Amount} fills 6 mason jars, 6 oz each (double recipe to fill 12 jars comfortably)

{Ingredients} 

  • Half stick of butter (4 tablespoons)
  • 5 Oreo cookies (I used reduced fat)
  • 5 full cinnamon graham crackers
  • 1 block of softened cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate chips (optional, just to top)
  • 1 tablespoons vanilla extract (½ for whip cream and ½ for filling)
  • 2 or 3 table spoons of sugar
  • 2 large zip lock bags
