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!

Hot Off the Press... [Chicken Bacon Bleu Panini]

So I totally forgot to post a panini recipe last Thursday... whoops. I'm sure you were all waiting with bated breath and were very  disappointed. Well, never fear, because I've got a fabulous panini recipe tonight! Tangy bleu cheese and salty bacon come together to form a delectable sandwich. It comes from the panini cookbook I received for Christmas, 200 Best Panini Recipes  (thanks Mom!) . The  Chicken Bacon Bleu panini :   grilled chicken, crisp bacon, and bleu cheese on sourdough with a spread of barbecue sauce and sliced red onion. I had never thought of putting bleu cheese on a panini before I saw this recipe. I feared there wouldn't be enough ooey gooey cheese! But bleu cheese actually melts pretty nicely. It's no Velveeta, but it added a great tang to the sandwich.  First, spread the bottom piece of bread with a bit of barbecue sauce, and top with some grilled chicken. I actually used my panini press to grill my chicken for the first time, and it wa

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!

Boston Marathon, week #3

Last week was a great week for training - lots of easy runs, a V02-max workout, and my first long run that actually felt 'long'.  The goal was to get in 50-55 miles, and I ended up with 56ish, so right on target. Saturday's long run was glorious ! Temps in the 50's in January (!) makes me a very happy runner. I headed out for 16-17 miles and ended up with almost 18. And I remembered to bring fuel!  I tried out the blueberry-pomegranate Gu chomps, and they weren't my favorite. I ate one every 2 miles once I hit the 8-mile mark and they left a strange aftertaste. Pretty much as soon as the aftertaste went away, it would be time to eat one again. I'm thinking I will try something else next time.  This was the week of the 8's... what a monotonous bar graph. I'll try better next week to make it a little more exciting. Weekly Rundown 1.7.2013-1.13.2013 Mon - 8.2 miles easy Tues - 8.3 miles easy Wed - 4x1200m @ 4:29 (4:32, 4:31, 4:31, 4:34);
