Chili Queso

Happy Friday!! : )

Garrett's birthday is this Monday so we are super excited to celebrate this weekend. We are going to the Saints Vs. Broncos game this Sunday!! SO SO EXCITED! Garrett's team is the Saints so I know he is pumped up about it. I can't wait!

Also, this week we had our first real snow! It was only 2 inches or so, but transformed our apartment complex into a winter wonderland for a day and a half. It's slowly melting now, sadly.

Anyways, I don't know about y'all, but Garrett and I eat at Chili's alot. And they have the yummiest queso! A couple of weeks ago I decided to try and make a copycat recipe at home and it turned out really delicious and really simple. Definitely worth a try!

What you need:

8oz of Velveeta Cheese

1 can of Chili (with or without beans)

Chips for dipping (Fritos are best!)

What to do:

Cut up the cheese into big chunks and put inside of a microwave safe bowl

Pour the chili on top.

Microwave for 1 and a half minutes and then stir.

 Keep doing this until all the cheese is melted and the chili and cheese are well mixed.

Very easy and very yummy! And especially good when football is on! : )

I hope you all are having a good Friday! It's almost the weekend! YAY!

Fried Pickles

Heloooo blog friends!!

In my super bowl Sunday post (here) ... AKA forever ago...I mentioned that I was going to share our recipe for fried pickles.

Then I got lazy.

So....10 days later, here it is!!

What you need:

• 1 small to medium jar of Hamburger Dill Chips (Pickles)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• Frying Oil

What to do:
  
1. In one dish mix the egg, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Beat them together with a fork to mix well. Get your fryer/oil ready!
  
2. In another dish mix the flour, salt and pepper.

3. Dip each pickle into the egg mixture then into the flour mixture. Repeat.

4. Wait until you have a large enough batch and put them all into the fryer at once. Let them fry until they are golden brown!

  

5. Remove them and start your next batch. We usually go ahead and make the whole jar but you don't have to. When you remove them from the fryer just drain them on a paper towel. 

Garrett loves them with Ranch dressing, and I think most other people do too, but I like them just as they are. They are delicious. 

If you are like me when I first saw/heard of these and think they sound weird; give them a try and let me know what you think! I think you will love them!

Sharing at these sweet parties!
