Jalapeno Popper Dip


Are you surprised I am back with yet another dip recipe this week? I swear I need to go to dip eaters anonymous. I love some dip! As I mentioned yesterday this dip is amazing. The perfect start to a Mexican meal or really any meal. The combo of cheeses and jalapenos is truly delicious. We served our dip with the Hint of Jalapeno Tostidos and it was the perfect combo. I highly recommend you make this, enough said!


Jalapeno Popper Dip

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano
1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapenos (pickled)
2 jalapeno peppers (chopped, optional)
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano

Directions:
1. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, parmigiano reggiano and jalapenos in a bowl and pour into a baking dish.
2. Mix the panko bread crumbs and parmigiano reggiano and sprinkle over the dip.
3. Bake in a 375F oven until bubbling on the sides and golden brown on top, about 10-20 minutes.

**I recommend adding the fresh jalapenos to give the dip a touch of heat since pickled jalapenos are pretty mild. I used 1.5 jalapenos in ours but next time I will use 2 for more flavor and heat.**

Obsessions

BURGUNDY JEANS
This is one of my favorite fall trends. I just bought the Joe's Jeans Alice Skinny Visonaire Burgundy jeans and love them. They sit high on your waist and are super flattering! They are the perfect wine shade and I can see myself wearing them all the time!

CHEVRON RUG
I finally had to ditch the white faux sheepskin rug I had in Sterling's nursery. White rugs are so gorgeous but pretty much a bad idea in a nursery, especially a boy's nursery. That thing was covered in so much pee, dirt and grim no one would clean it! I was inspired by this picture.



and ended up ordering this similar rug from Urban Outfitters. It was a steal and I think it will be a great replacement!





FRYE BOOTS
I am really loving these Frye boots. How fabulous would they look with leggings, a loose tee and scarf. I can't decide which pair I like better!
Here is Elin Nordegren sporting the black logo boots. They look amaze!

Thoughts For Friday

I am so glad it is the weekend! My sister is in town visiting and I couldn't be happier!
I am beyond obsessed with this Vintage Chanel Purse. It is online at ShopBop right now and I can't stop drooling over it! I am scheming ways I could get this beauty home with me. Santa are you listening??


I finally found a tie-neck blouse this week at F21 for $17! It is a great shade of purple and super cute for the price. Although I still want the Marc Jacobs Panther tie-neck blouse if it goes on sale! But for now I have am satisfied to have one tie-neck blouse!




I also picked up this cute blouse. It looks like a knit shirt but it is a blouse with a cute zipper in the back and great fit.



I am thinkinbg about ordering the large Jennifer Zuener Initial Necklace. I have the medium one with an "S" for Sterling but I like that the larger one has 3 initials and it shows up so much better. I have been so happy with my medium one, I wear it almost everyday so I know I would love the large one just as much!




The Instagram App for the iPhone is my new obsession. It is so cool what it can do to your pictures. Here are a few I did this week of Sterling. Love the vintage feel it gives them! You must upload it if you have an iPhone!





I can't stop dreaming about these Cream Cheese Sausage Balls my friend Caycee made for our playgroup this week. They were amazing! I might just make them again this weekend! They would be perfect for football party or tailgate!



Tomorrow night we are headed to the Fat Hen for dinner. It is one of our favorite restaurants in town. I am already dreaming about what I want to order. Any locals have a favorite dish here? I think their burgers and French Onion Soup are insanely good!



Was that enough random babbling for your Friday? Have a great weekend! xoxo

Move Over Gwennie

I officially have a new girl crush. Gwennie will always stay near and dear to my heart but lately I have been obsessed with Claudia Schiffer. I remember back in the day when she was a Guess model thinking she was so gorgeous. These days her street style is impeccable. Many of the pictures are snapped of her picking her kids up from school and man does she look look so pulled together. This is giving me some outfit inspiration ideas so maybe I do more than throw on work out clothes in the morning!

















And her Pregnancy style is just as fabulous. I want that adorable leopard dress, pregnant or not!



Enjoy your Thursdays! xoxo
