my daily vice

Friday, May 11, 2012

Today at work we are having a little Mother's Day celebration in which everyone is bringing some sort of snack situation. Normally I forget and end up picking up donuts or bagels on the way in but this time I remembered ahead of time and got a fabulous recipe from my pal Kimber. She used to make said recipe in college for tailgates, parties and sometimes just to fatten us all up so of course I wanted to get my hands on it. It is SO easy and SO delicious and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy app.

Here goes:

(I doubled up because it was for work but normally it is half the ingredients)

You will need:

A bowl for mixing

16 oz. of Plain Cream Cheese (I used the Philadelphia Light)

16 oz. of Sour Cream (I used Daisy Light)

2 Cans of Refried Beans

2 Packets of Taco Seasoning (Old El Paso is by far my favorite taco seasoning - I got one original and one hot & spicy to heat it up a bit)

1 package of shredded Mexican Cheese

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees

Get all of your ingredients together

Put the cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning in the bowl and mix it all up

Then add your refried beans and mix until there are no lumps

Should look something like this - not very appetizing I know...

Then pour into your baking dish and sprinkle cheese on top and bake for about 20 - 22 minutes or until its bubbling.

Enjoy with tortilla chips!

Thank you Kimber!

I'm Saying It

Let's just put it out there... I have been the worst blogger for the last couple months. I am well aware of it. BUT in my defense, work has been crazy busy and when I get home the last thing I really want to do is look at a computer. Even though I can't promise it will get much better over the next month - eventually I will be back in swing and be able to post more regularly... Lo siento mi amigos.

Here are two sites to get you through if you are terribly bored:

Monday Blues

This Monday seriously kind of sucks. It's dragging for sure... and the closest exciting thing I have to look forward to is my Cinco de Drinko self created bar crawl on Saturday afternoon with some of my favorite gals. Other than that it's pretty much working out (not something I generally look forward to.) Anyways... here are some pics that got me smiling.
