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!

Samoa-what?

So. Last night I did some baking. For my Business Man. Leaning tower of... cookie bars? Before I tell you all about it, let's rewind a bit... Last week when I was gone traversing the Midwest , our order of Girl Scout cookies came in. (finally!) They got here on Monday. When I spoke with my Business Man Tuesday night, he informed me that the box of Caramel Delights was gone. Gone! I would have been shocked and horrified and disappointed if I actually liked coconut, but alas I just shook my head and laughed. Those cookies didn't stand a chance with my Business Man locked in the same apartment for any length of time. The real deal. Just to prove his love for Caramel Delights even further, let me tell you this little story. L ast year  I came out to visit one weekend and take the oh-so-enjoyable Praxis tests. We stopped at Family Video after the tests to pick up a few movies for the afternoon/evening. There happened to be some cute lil' Girl Scouts trying ...

Day 8: Brownie-Covered Oreos

Today's cookie recipe has two ingredients. Yup, just two! Brownie mix and a package of Oreos. So simple that my Business Man could make them! I saw this recipe over at Picky-Palate , and immediately had to try it. I love incorporating Oreos into my baked goods. We even had Oreo Cupcakes at our wedding! And who could forget about Oreo Truffles? (Also known as Snowman Poop in my circle of friends...) After tasting them, I must say these are divine! And so simple. Perfect for the chocoholic in your life. (aka me!) The cookie gets a little soft inside the brownie, and it's just a chocolate explosion in your mouth! You will want to have a glass of milk handy. Just have to show off our tree some more! First things first, mix up your brownie mix. If you want a lot of Brownie-covered Oreos, use a large brownie mix. If you don't need as many, use a smaller brownie mix. My favorite brownie mix is Ghiradelli , but it can be kinda pricey. Usually I just buy what's on sale....

Day 7: Buried Cherry Cookies

I don't remember where my mom & I got this recipe... we started baking these about 8 years ago. And haven't stopped since! The name says it all - there is a 'buried cherry' in each cookie. The cookie itself is chewy and chocolatey, and inside there's a surprise cherry! It's all topped with a unique type of frosting; it is poured over the cookie before  it's baked. It's like a cookie version of a chocolate-covered cherry! (Without all that nasty sweet white goo inside...) Here's a step-by-step break-down: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Make an indentation in each ball. Place a cherry in each indentation. Make the frosting. (And don't forget to lick the spoon. And scrape the sides of the pan.) Top with the frosting. Bake! And then wonder what to do with the leftover 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk. (What kind of recipe only calls for 1/2 cup?) I guess I could be like my friend Jen , as she tol...
