Football Recipe: Mexican Chicken Dip

I found this Chicken Dorito Casserole recipe from Bev Cooks in one of my (many) Sunday Pinterest binges and thought it would make an awesome dip for watching football on Sunday (Go Dolphins!)



What You'll Need:
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of Rotel (Funny story: I bought the hot Rotel thinking Oh, this won't be all that spicy. HOLY JALAPEÑO, WAS IT HOT! So, if you prefer a milder flavor, opt for the original Rotel. I like spicy food, so I thought it was great)
3 cups of cheese
1 packet of taco seasoning

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl. I added in 1 of the cups of cheese when mixing (it was really by accident since I skipped through the instructions.) You're looking to get this to a sloppy dog food consistency (appetizing, I know).
2. Poor your mixture into a casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining 2 cups of cheese
3. Stick that puppy in the over for 30 minutes and you're done!

Serve with your favorite tortilla chips & enjoy.

Wine Glass Charms Tutorial

About a year and a half ago, I hosted my first housewarming party with a skeleton keys theme and I made the most adorable set of wine charms for the event.

What You'll Need:

- Wire Hoops (I purchased Earwire Hoop Rings 25mm - 20 Gauge for $2.99 from House of Joiwind on Etsy.)

- Small pliers

- Jump Rings (you may not need them if your charms already have jump rings)

- Tweezers

- Charms & beads 

Steps:

1. Open your wire hoop and flatten the top. I left it at a bit of angle where I could still put the beads in but could close them without bending them again. 

2. If your charms require jump rings, add those now. (For a great tutorial on how to use jump rings, visit My Girlish Whims)

3. Start adding beads

4. Finish adding your beads, close the ring and you're done!

I made each charm different. I can't decide which is my favorite!

These make the perfect housewarming gift, hostess gift, stocking stuffer, office gift, whatever! I'm totally hooked and am thinking of creating an Asian set with some left over charms I have from other projects.
