Thumbs Up for one of my new favorite local sites Little Daily Planner. Sorry, non-San Antonio residents, this one is SA only. This great resource has a weekly calendar of activities happening each day for kids. Click on a link that interests you and you get all of the details for that activity - location, cost, recommended ages. I take a look at the beginning of the week to see if there any must do activities for The Squirrel.
Thumbs Up for Crock Pots. I guess these suckers are all the rage these days for my generation. The Crock Pot Girls are making a huge splash in the social networking world. I liked them on Facebook earlier last week along with 145,000 of my closest FB friends and they are about to hit the 1 million mark! I see a cookbook in their future...or at least a really good PR agency. I typically only break the crock pot out for the occassional Fat A%@ Dip or SuperBowl Soiree but they swear that all parts to a meal can be crocked and it makes life much easier on moms trying to put a hot meal on the table. So I'm giving the ol' crock pot a whirl tonight and I'll let you know if it stands up to its reputation. I didn't get my recipe from The CPGs but instead from this blog via Mrs. Boo Arnold. And yes, I reverted back to the 1950's way of addressing your friends in honor of you dear crock pot (even though you were a 1970's creation).
And since it got a mention, here's the recipe for Betsy Nameth's world famous Fat A%@ Dip:
Ingredients:
Three 8 oz. Packages of Cream Cheese (I prefer full fat, hence the name of the recipe)
2 cans Rotel
One roll of Jimmy Dean Sage Sausage
One roll of Jimmy Dean Regular Sausage (I've also used Spicy and its equally as delicious)
Brown the sausage, drain and set aside. Melt cream cheese and add two cans of Rotel. Don't drain the Rotel. Melt together and stirl. Add sausage and crock pot until hot.
Easy and fantastic!
I receive no compensation for these reviews - I just like the products!
