Tailgatin and Dip

Last weekend (yes, I am that far behind) we got to have some amazing friends come and visit. We had Braves tickets, and got to watch Chipper Jones play one of his last games at home. Needless to say I got a little teary eyed and can't imagine watching the games next year without him being out there.

Anyway, I am done being sappy. I got to spend some time with one of my besties and we even got to tailgate before the baseball game. I made some super simple dip and decided to include the recipe. It is super yummy and keeps really well. 

Try this recipe. It is beyond amazing.

Kenda's Sausage Dip

8 oz creme cheese
2 cups sour creme
1 cup salsa or more if needed
1 pound sausage (I used mild but you can use hot or spicy if you like)
Brown the sausage and crumble it while you are cooking it - just like you were cooking hamburger for tacos. Put the sausage in a colander and drain the fat. I run hot water over it to get all the fat off. Then spread it on paper towels to get the water off. 
Heat the creme cheese in microwave on half power until soft (about 1-2 minutes) mix sour creme, sausage and salsa into the creme cheese. If it is too thick add more salsa until it gets the dipping consistency. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or just eat it as is. The flavor intensifies after refrigeration and it will thicken up some also.  Let me know what you think!

HighFives...

I am giving HIGH FIVES for the following:

organized fabric, thank goodness I found this ugly shelf, it doesn't even matter how ugly it is, as long as it keeps my guest room fabric clutter free

we started the tradition of crockpot Wednesday this week, so excited its finally cool enough to make some soups and stews. This works out great so that food will be ready the minute we walk in from AWANA.

I stole this quote from someone off Pinterest, and absolutely love it.

I have on my happy shoes today, determined to have a wonderful Friday

This will be me tomorrow night, surrounded by best friends, watching Chipper play one of his last regular season games, and I couldn't be more excited!! 

Braves, Dawgs, and Grillin

This weekend was a great one, spent with friends, family, and the boy. I know you are supposed to get rested up for the work week each weekend, but it seems exactly the opposite for me. I go hard all weekend and during the week I "try" to get rested up. This one was no different.
Pictures say a thousand words, so here are at least a couple thousand.

FRIDAY: 

Tried out a new clutch idea for the Braves game Friday night, and I am in LOVE with how it came out!
I can't wait to make others for Georgia gamedays and other sporting events/collegiate alumni activities!
I am going to start selling them in my shop too! If you have an old t-shirt you would like made into a clutch let me know!

Me and the boy have a running joke that Chipper Jones signs only the inside of our cups. We know its stupid, but we act surprised each time we get a new one.

I caught the super fan in action! He splurged on the best seats and we had a wonderful time! 

We got to drink some Tomahawk Ale, which is HA's favorite. He was so excited, and I was too!

And, of course, it was Friday, so we got to see fireworks after the game! I love going to Braves games on Friday nights, mainly because I have a severe love of fireworks. They make me smile like a little kid!

SATURDAY:

I got to spend some time in Athens to watch the DAWGS tee it up BETWEEN THE HEDGES!

I absolutely love the time spent on Saturday's in Athens and I love the hustle and bustle of all the fans. I got to spend time with old friends and family!

My beautiful sister, and her friend came to the game too, it was so good to see her and spend some QT.

We had a good amount of drama at the game but you know how the saying goes, "there is nothing finer in the land than a drunk, obnoxious Georgia fan"

It was all in good fun, and things turned out fine. Plus the Dawgs kicked some tail and it was a perfect night for watching some football!

SUNDAY:

Sunday morning we all went to Cracker Barrel and did some serious grubbing. I then spent the rest of the day resting and trying to catch up on some reality TV. 

Sunday afternoon was spent with the Grill Master. And master he did. Grilled fish tacos are his specialty.

It was a wonderful weekend with great memories, the best of friends, and some good Georgia sports!

How was your weekend?

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful today for many things. 

Here is a short list. 

• My growing Faith. Mainly in my religion but also in people, relationships, and God's GREAT timing.

• The small opportunities I have received lately. I am very excited about something that happened yesterday, but do not want to share too soon.
• The beautiful weather we have been having lately. I LOVE the summer, and everyone else wants it to be over, but not me. I feel like it just started.
• The sweet, helpful, and always precious conversations I have had lately with my Mama. She always knows exactly what I need to hear  to say. 
• And this might seem very small, but I am thankful for today at work. We have planned to make homemade peach ice cream and I AM SO EXCITED.

So there you have it folks. A small amount of THANKFULNESS on this lovely Thursday.
