Halloween House Party

Last night I hosted my first House Party for Houseparty.com and I have to say we had a great time. I created some goulish delightes.


1 Package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 jar (8 oz.) prepared salsa
1/2 cup guacamole
2 Tbls. sour cream

Blend salsa and cream cheese in a food processor.
Spread cream cheese mixture in bowl.
Smooth guacamole over top leaving a boarder.
Place sour cream in a sandwich bag and cut off a tiny corner of the bag.
Pipe sour cream in circles over guacamole.
Run the tip of a knife through sour cream to make "spider web."
Serve with tortilla chips.

2 cans (2.25 oz.) sliced black olives, divided
1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper, divided
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
8 (6-7 inch) flour tortillas
16 slices deli roast turkey

Reserve 48 olive slices, 48 pieces red pepper and 1 Tbls. cream cheese.
Chop remaining olives and combine with remaining cream cheese, red pepper and garlic in a small bowl; mix well.
Spread 2 Tbls. of mixture on each tortilla. Top each with 2 turkey slices. Roll up tortillas and trim off uneven ends. Slice each tortilla into 6 3/4 inch pieces.
Using reserved cream cheese, attach olives and red pepper to make roll-ups look like eyes. 

2 (2L) bottles citrus flavored soda
1L Sunny Delight
12 scoops vanilla ice cream

Pour soda and Sunny D into a large punch bowl. Add ice cream and stir.
Caution:
The ice cream creates quite a bit of foam when mixed in and the foam could spill over.

2 Tbls. flour
1 Tbls. plus 2 tsp. cajun seasoning, divided
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch strips
1 1/2 cups cornflake crumbs

1 red pepper cut into triangle shapes
Dipping sauses

Pre-heat oven to 350. Lightly grease baking sheet.
 Place flour and 2 tsp. seasoning in large resealable food storage bag. Add chicken and shake to coat.
In a large shallow bowl mix cornflake crumbs, green onion and remaining Tbls seasoning.
Dip each chicken strip into eggs and then into crumb mixture. Place strips on prepared baking sheet.
Bake 8-10 min or till chicken is no longer pink in center.
When chicken is cool enough to handle cut a slit in end and place pepper triangle inside. 
Serve with dipping sause of your choice.

1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/8th cup chopped chives
1/3 cup finely chopped cucumber
2 Tbls. chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh onion

Downy Unstopables

I recently took place in a try and tell for Vocalpoint ( a survey website). I was sent a sample of Downy Unstopables (Fresh sent), they are little sent beads you add to the washer before your clothes go in. These little beads pack a lot of punch I could smell them through the packaging they were mailed in. I chose to try them out on my bed linens. I really enjoyed the aroma coming from my laundry room, while my sheets were washing, and slowly spreading throughout the house. I had a friend stop by while this was going on and they were very impressed by the smell as soon as they came in the door. I informed them it was the laundry and their response " I wish my laundry smelled that good".

I love to pull hot sheets from the dryer and smell the freshness, this load was better then ever before. I put the sheets on the bed and wanted to crawl in to the alluring aroma ( it was 11am ).  My home smelled fabulously fresh and all I had to do was the laundry.

One week later and my bed sheets stilled smelled fresh and clean, even with my husbands nightly PKU sweats, like I just washed them. I would highly recommend these to anyone who needs a laundry pick me up. Caution to those sensitive to perfumes these little buggers are strong.
