Resident Chef- BLT Dip

A huge shout out to the Resident Chef. This brand makes fabulous dips that are great for any occasion. I made the BLT dip for the Razorback football game this past Saturday. These dips are great to take anywhere and make excellent appetizers.  They are also super easy to make. The ingredients that you add are dependent on whether it is savory or sweet. For the BLT mix it was 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup of mayonnaise. If you get a chance I would check out their website and order some dips. They are great!

Mini Pies

I saw a great idea on pinterest a few weeks ago and modified it and started making mini pies. These are great way to take someone a pie where you would not be able to have plates and forks. These mini pies are bite sized and are great to take tailgating (which is where I took mine!).  

So what you need is a mini muffin pan, premade pie crust dough (you can find these at the grocery store all rolled up), round cookie cutter, canned pie filling (fruits of your choice), powdered sugar, and milk.

To start you unroll the pie crust and use the round cookie cutter to cut out circles. After you cut them all out reroll out the dough and cut some more until you finish all the dough. Next you place the circles in the holes of a mini muffin pan. They make the cutest little pies. After they are all in there it is time to add the filling. Each little pie needs a spoon of filling. I used apple (it will need to be cut though), cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry. After all of the filling is in it is time to bake the mini pies. It takes 18-20 minutes in a 400* oven. When they are done baking and have cooled slightly mix together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk. This makes a yummy glaze that you can sprinkle on top of the mini pies. After that its time to eat! :)

Horseback Riding

So I went horseback riding for the second time over Labor Day weekend. It was an unique experience. The ride itself was not too bad and was very pretty. I went in Ruidoso, New Mexico through a place called Inn of the Mountain Gods. For my outfit I went with skinny jeans from NEw York and Company, a Arkansas Razorback Tank Top (it was game day!) from Victoria's Secret, and my Cowboy Boots from Cavenders (kids!).  Here are a few pictures. My horse's name was Nugget.
