Give Aways

A whole lot of my blog buddies (I read their blogs whether I know them personally or not) are having give-aways.  This will be your one-stop shop linking to those give-aways.

My cool friend at My Frugal Lifestyle is having a give away of some really snazzy designer purses that another blogger she knows makes!!  I like the Bella Blue style.  The designer is LauraOh! Designs.  Read her other posts this week as it's give away week all week!!

My really cool author friend Sarah M Eden, you might remember me being interviewed in her blog, is having a give-away and drops random clues on her blog.  She recently had one of her books released and it is on sale now at Deseret Books.  In fact, it's in the top ten!!  Way to go Sarah!  Read the latest clue here.

If you live in Utah (I don't) and want to attend the Utah Valley Women's Expo, you can get free tickets here.  And while you are at the expo enter the give-away for the wheat grinder.  You can read more about it on the same link.

Good luck.

Easy Salsa Mix

My sister (in-law) Rebecca (and Chad and family) gave us a couple of items for Christmas this year. One was a jar of salsa mix and the ingredients to make it. There was also a jar of Ranch dressing mix. I've written down the recipes before and have them in a notebook, but decided posting it here would be best. Since I've only tried the Salsa, I am only posting that now.

Easy Salsa Mix

1 C Dried Cilantro

¼ C Garlic Powder

½ C Dried Minced Onion

¼ C Dried Sweet Pepper Flakes

1 T Salt

1 T Pepper (optional - if you like it hot)

Combine all ingredients, mix well. Store in airtight container.

Use 1-2 T of mix with a can of Rotel® (or generic) Tomatoes and Chilis. Let refrigerate to blend flavors. Serve as you would any salsa.
