Dance Pictures

The day the photographer came to dance class to take pictures Jillian was in a BAD mood and I KNOW those pictures are not going to turn out great.  We had wonderful weather this weekend so we decided to take some dance pictures of our own.  She wasn't in the best picture mood but I still think they turned out great.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Have you seen Velveeta's new Spicy Buffalo Cheese? I spotted it when we went to the grocery store last week and decided to try it out.  If you decide to pick some up there is a coupon out right now for $1 off!

There are recipes on the inside of the box for a few different things, I decided to try the Buffalo Chicken Dip.  We don't like celery so we left that off.  For the shredded cooked chicken I just used a whole rotisserie I had bought a publix.  I used some of the chicken for this and the rest for chicken chimichangas (I will be sharing those later this week)!

1 lb. (16 oz.) VELVEETA Spicy Buffalo Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

   1/4 cup Sour Cream

   1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast

   1 stalk celery, chopped

MICROWAVE first 3 ingredients in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min. or until VELVEETA is completely melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min.

STIR in remaining ingredient.

After I mixed this all up and melted it I decided that it needed a little more chicken so I added a little more.  One thing that happened was after it was out of the microwave just a few minutes it REALLY thickened up (the chips would break when we would try and dip) so if I made this again I would probably add a little milk to thin it up some.  Michael and I both decided this really doesn't taste like Buffalo dip, just a spicy cheese but it was pretty good.

Spring Pictures

Michael drives past this field everyday on his way to work and has been telling me about how pretty it was.  Today we decided to load up and head over to Decatur to take some pictures in the field.  Jillian was more interested in picking the flowers than taking pictures so this wasn't our best photo shoot.  I think the pictures turned out pretty cute!  Later this week I will share the rest of our photo shoot weekend, we also took pictures of Jillian in her dance costumes at a few different locations in Decatur. 

Will you do me a favor????

Head over to facebook and like the Rocket City Mom fan page then post on the wall saying you were referred by The Coupon Centsation fan page!!!

Cookies 'N' Creme Brownies

Sorry I haven't been around much this week. I haven't felt great, been CRAZY busy at work and I've been working on my first blanket and it's a LONG process.  I can't wait to share the blanket I'm making for Jillian (hopefully it turns out cute), I've wanted to make her one since she was born but haven't been confident enough in my sewing skills until now to try.  Hopefully I'll have it done in the next week or so. 

Are you guys ready to try out my latest recipe?!?!? 

Want a new way to doctor up your favorite brownies???  Try my SUPER yummy, SUPER easy

Cookies 'N' Creme Brownie recipe! 

I started out with a basic box of Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge brownies, I made the box according to the instructions on the the package.

Once mixed up I spread half the browning mixture into a greased 8x11 pan.

Then I took 3 Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme bars (they are on sale this week at CVS, buy 2 get 1 free) and placed them over the brownie mixture.  I had to trim the edges off to get them to fit.

Then spread the remaining brownie mixture over the chocolate bars.

I then crushed the pieces I had to trim over the top of the brownies.

I baked my brownies for about 30-32 minutes.

They turned out SOOOOO yummy, I hope you enjoy them!
