Cheddar-Mustard Beer Dip

I absolutely love the Fall for many reasons, some being...
  1. The hot desert weather is about to go away for another 8-9 months
  2. Football
  3. Food!
With cooler temps and football on TV, I get the itch to start making comfort food. Those three things just seem to go together. Here is one of my favorite football-friendly recipes. It's almost like a fondue, and you can dress it up for a fancy party, or just serve it with mini pretzels for something more casual. Enjoy!

Cheddar-Mustard Beer Dip

Ingredients
12 oz. pasteurized process Cheddar cheese spread, cubed
4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
2/3 cup beer (Budweiser works best)
1/2 cup Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
1/3 cup chopped green onions
Pretzel chips, mini pretzel twists, bread sticks, or bagel chips for dipping

Directions
In medium saucepan, over low heat, heat cheese spread and cream cheese until melted and smooth, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Slowly blend in beer and mustard. Stir in green onions. Pour into serving bowl or mini crock pot. Serve warm with mini pretzels, pretzel chips, bread sticks or bagel chips.

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
