We've been stuck in the house for 6 days now....and I think I'm finally getting out today. I have a serious case of cabin fever! I finally pulled my sewing machine out yesterday and made something cute....maybe my next blog post?
This dip has been a huge hit...both at Christmas and Declan's birthday party. It would be perfect for a Super Bowl party! Enjoy!
Creamy Jalapeno Dip
1/3 cup pickled jalapenos
Juice from pickled jalapenos, to taste
1 packet buttermilk ranch dressing mix (make sure to get the buttermilk packet - not regular Ranch!)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup of mayonnaise (regular - not reduced fat)
1/2 bunch of cilantro, stems removed, chopped (I personally didn't like it with this much of cilantro - I used about 1/4 bunch)
Place jalapenos in the blender and puree until very fine, using juice as needed. Mix the dressing mix, buttermilk, mayonnaise and cilantro in a separate bowl; add to pureed jalapenos. Mix in blender. The dip is best if you refrigerate it overnight. Serve with chips or fresh vegetables, or use as a salad dressing.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups. (I usually double the receipe for big crowds!)
Wishing everyone a warm and safe weekend!

Christmas - Dad and Nancy's house
The present of 2010? Head massaging wire contraption. Who knew. But seriously....get yourself one! It tickles but feels so good (picture above is proof!)....very addicting!
Aunt Jean's jingle bracelet. He loved it so much that she ended up giving it to him. And he still plays with it. :)
Also, please note the "Grinch" sweatshirt from Aunt Mary.....I have a feeling she knew it would be perfect to wear on Christmas day...wouldnt you feel a little Grinch-y if your birthday was Christmas??
