Gone-Girl-Poster

Amie & I went to see this over the weekend.  Oh my word – very intense!! It was great – if you didn’t read the book – you really don’t know what’s going to happen. Ben Affleck was great!! Loved it!!! I’m giving it an A!

Birthday Weekend!

Standard

Amie came up this weekend and we celebrated my birthday with the kids, did some shopping and went to the movies.  Tara made this crazy amazing White Chocolate Truffle Cake, and they had flowers for me & a gift card to Lowes!! Miss Amie bought me a DeWalt Orbital Sander (yes, I asked for this)!!! I had to share this picture of our little Belle – she loves her animal book!!! A wonderful birthday weekend with family!

corn dip Yes, I realize it’s Friday, but I wanted to get this to you in time for your Sunday Football Games!!!!  Yum & super simple, I made it when my family was here visiting.  Maybe next time I’ll top it with olives or crumbled bacon!!

Hot Corn Dip

Ingredients:
Cooking spray or butter, to grease
Two 11-ounce cans Mexican corn, drained
Two 4.5-ounce cans chopped green chiles, drained
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup mayonnaise
Corn chips, for dipping (I used Fritos Scoops)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9- 13- by 2-inch casserole dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the corn, chiles, cheeses and mayonnaise until fully combined. Spread the mixture in the prepared casserole dish and bake, uncovered, until bubbly around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve the dip warm from the oven with corn chips.Found this on Pinterest, of course, and it’s from Trisha Yearwood on Food Network: http://tinyurl.com/muwc9uj
