Warmed Cheesy Onion Dip

I made this for the boat parade party, a month ago ... and was so bummed that I didn't really get to try it before it was devoured ... damn mini adults ... they just sat around and ate EVERYTHING ... so I've had it on the list of things to make again and try when there wasn't a mob of people around ...



So I did it again on Saturday night when we had some friends coming over ...

Ummm, HELLO. This stuff is addictive. Normally we do not sit on the barstools at the counter when we have friends over, we generally STAND around ... the game was on in the kitchen so we were STANDING around watching the 5th quarter and next thing I know, 2 of the friends are SITTING on the barstools, right smack in front of the dish and just scoopin this stuff up ...



Trust me, the one guy is Mr. Health Conscious and does not just eat stuff to nibble on ...

It's damn good ... give it a try!



1 cup of mayo (used my homemade stuff)
1 8oz pkg cream cheese, room temp and cut into cubes for easier mashing
1 regular size SWEET VIDALIA onion, diced (first time I used a regular onion and it was apparently still good ... the sweet onion is much better)
1 cup shredded parmesean cheese (the real stuff)
generous sprinkling of black pepper
generous spinkling of dried parsley

Add all to a large bowl and mix well. Really mash the cream cheese as it will want to stay chunky.



Spray a shallow baking dish with nonstick spray and cook 45 minutes or so at 350 til nice, bubbly and brown.



Serve with a thicker tortilla chip or hardy cracker (not a thin ritzy time thing, flavors don't compliment each other)

Seriously, I was surprised at how fast this disappeared. You may want to DOUBLE the recipe so you don't come back to an empty tray within minutes.

    It is definitely a compliment to have your food gobbled up, but I hate when I don't get to taste it either. Thanks so much for sharing your dip with us on foodie friday.

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
