Breakstone's Sour Cream Flavor Lovers Party!

Like that's not a mouthful, haha.


So, a few months ago, I applied to host a "House Party" for Breakstone's Sour Cream. Basically, different brands offer "party packs" to people, who then in turn open their homes to friends & family to try out new brands and products.


Well, I got chosen, and we had the party on Sunday night! Breakstone's has come out with several new flavored sour creams and sour cream dips, and we were supposed to try them out. Unfortunately, our local grocery stores only carried two of the seven varieties, so we only got to try two of the new flavors (chipotle and ranch). 


We decided to go with a Mexican Fiesta theme, since we were sampling chipotle sour cream. Yes, it's a bit of a stretch. But everyone loves Mexican food!


Chips & salsa! We served our favorite cherry salsa from Door County.
Here's what was on the menu:


Chips & Salsa
Roasted Corn Dip (<-- this is delicious!)
Chicken & Steak Fajitas
Frijoles
Strawberry Agua Fresca
Fruit Pizza
Brownies with Ganache

It was my first time making fajitas, so I was a little nervous, but they turned out fine! 


Fajita vegetables ready to go.

Corn tortillas, duh.

Unfortunately I was a little busy trying to get everything ready for the fiesta, and didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped.


We had Strawberry Agua Fresca, which was almost like a fresh strawberry juice! It was very tasty.


Reusing the glass dispenser from our wedding!
Fruit pizza for dessert!


Recipe will be posted soon. Promise.


As for the sour cream?






It got a big thumb's up! The chipotle flavor was a nice topping to the fajitas. I imagine it would also be good in enchiladas, or on top of some breakfast burritos. Mmm...




And now the fun part! As part of the "party pack", I received a bunch of coupons and recipe booklets to give to my party guests. 




Well, I have a lot of coupons leftover and booklets leftover (8 sets), so if you would like a set, send me an email with your name and mailing address to beantownsara@gmail.com, and I will spread the sour cream love!


Thank you, House Party, for the wonderful party pack! We had a great time!

The Arrival of Something New...

Woo hoo for the last Friday of the school year! And only one more day of school next week. (And then a couple teacher workshops...) Another reason to be excited? Our fridge came today!! Isn't she a beauty? It is so nice to have a fridge again. You don't realize how much you miss a full-size refrigerator until you go a couple weeks without it. A bit bare... but that can be solved easily. Bottom-drawer freezer, containing the essentials: moose tracks & Diet Dew trying to get cold asap. Anyways, I'm just popping in to share my beautiful new appliance. The baking monster has taken over, and I'm in the midst of making 150 cupcakes for a graduation party tomorrow.  First big baking project in the new kitchen! I'm loving all the counter space. Mmm... chocolate buttercream! Making good use of the baking nook! :) Adios!

Red Velvet Cake... Donuts

So this whole Valentine's Day coming up soon is definitely just an excuse for me to bake ridiculous things. Case in point: Red Velvet Cake Donuts . A few weekends ago, my Business Man and I visited the new Tim Horton's here in the Bean Town for the first time. I'd never set foot in a Tim Horton's before, and was pretty much enamored with all the flavors of donut holes, or "Tim Bits". Instead of just having to settle on one  or  two  donut flavors, I got to pick 10 different flavors for each of the Tim Bits in my 10-pack. (Well, I don't think they had 10 flavors... maybe only 6 but you get the idea.) They came in such a cute little package too! (Yes, I am a marketer's dream...) While I went the Tim Bit route, my Business Man went the traditional route - with an old fashioned sour cream donut. And then he went the not-so-traditional route... with a Red Velvet Donut!  And he said it was absolutely amazing. (I had a bite, and thought it w...

The Essential Summer Dessert

Last weekend, my Business Man and I hosted a fiesta for some of our friends in the Bean Town. While everyone enjoyed the food, I think dessert was the biggest hit. (Surprise, surprise.) We had brownies (from a box, the horror!) topped with chocolate ganache, and fruit pizza . Fruit pizza is most definitely my "go-to" summer dessert. Since it's the official 1st day of summer, I thought I'd share the recipe! It's delicious without being too heavy or rich. And it's most definitely healthy, because you are eating fruit, right? The recipe I use is my mom's... she's been using it for years. It starts with a basic sugar cookie base, topped with a cream cheese-whipped topping, and then all the fruit your little heart desires! I usually go with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. But raspberries are really good, too. Even better when you pick the fruit yourself! (Picking berries on our honeymoon last July.) ...
