Slow Cooker Taco Dip Recipe


Are you ready for some football?

I dont know how ready I am to actually follow the game, but I am ready for some football-watching food. I LOVE Super Bowl day. Its a day to chuck any and all New Years dieting-type ideas out the window and eat whatever you want.

it would be un-American not to.

I made this dip a few weeks ago for a party, and the adults pretty much fought the kids to get their fill---which is saying a lot, because the oldest kid was 9, and I *know* for a fact there was plenty of double-dipping going on.

Theres both Velveeta and cream cheese in this dip, so if your cholesterol is offended by these ingredients, you shouldnt make it. Instead, pick something light and healthy from the archives.

The Ingredients.
serves 12

1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
1 pound velveeta
2 cups jarred salsa (I like the one with beans and corn from Safeway)
1 (1.25 oz) envelope taco seasoning mix (McCormick is gluten free)

The Directions.

Use a 4 quart or larger slow cooker. Dump everything in. It will not look pretty, and thats okay. Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours, or on high for 90 minutes or until the cheeses have fully melted and are heated through. Stir well and serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

or celery, if you must...

The Verdict.

I saw one of our neighbors use his finger to scrape out the bowl. I didnt tell him I was watching.

Happy Super Bowl!

CrockPot Dolmas Recipe

Day 344. Jessica emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I had a crockpot dolmas recipe. I didnt, but I do now! These are super easy, fun to make, and even more fun to eat. I was floored at how many my kids ate---they really liked them a lot. The Ingredients. 1 jar grape leaves (8oz of leaves, in juice, near the pickles) 1/2 pound ground lamb 1/2 pound ground turkey breast 1 cup cooked white rice 1/2 cup chopped parsley 2 lemons 1 egg 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp dill The Directions . I used a 6 quart crockpot , anything 4 quarts and up would work just fine. I got this recipe after putting a few together from this website according to the flavors I thought my family would enjoy, and from how I remember dolmas to taste. I really think theres no wrong or right way to do these, its like meatloaf--everyone has their own version. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, rice, egg, spices, and juice from one lemon. Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a sm

The British Heart Foundation diet was curiously been created by the British Heart Foundation, or even approved by the same. Instead, it seems almost to have evolved from different sources, and his name was almost by osmosis rather than a real basis in fact. The importance of the British Heart Foundation diet is the way it is structured, and the general emphasis given to rapid weight loss. Although the exact origins of the meal are not clear, the promise behind this is that it can help you lose ten pounds in British heart foundation 3 day diet.

The plan is organized around a very ri

Stressed? Maybe ornithine can help. Or is this study just a hoax!? Sounds like marketing shenanigan, right? "Lower Cortisol, Higher DHEA, Better Sleep W/ Only 400mg of Ornithine Pre-Bed." Ok, if it was marketing it would probably say "with only 5g of ornithine." I mean, 400mg thats not enough to generate significant revenues - is it? But before we get to the marketing side of things, lets first look at the science, researchers from the Research Laboratories for Health Science & Food Technologies present in a recent paper in the Nutrition Journal , an open-access journal which charges scientists a certain fee for processing their papers.
