Heads Up! The 3rd Annual Savory Summer Giveaway Hop is Coming Back! {$700 Grand Prize}

Hey guys!  I wanted to give you a heads up about the upcoming Savory Summer Blog Hop with LOTS of opportunity for winning great prizes, including the Calphalon Stainless Steel Cookware set grand prize worth $700!

If you’re unfamiliar with what a giveaway hop is, it is an online event wherein a bunch of bloggers team up. Each participating blogger offers a theme-related prize (in this case, a food or food-related prize). Then, every blogger links to the other participating bloggers (via the linky) so that entrants can hop from one blog to the next to enter to win prizes. 

It is a blast!  We currently have 34 bloggers on board and the number will continue to grow until the day we kick off - Monday June 16th, 2014.  

I will be giving away a small gift pack including this awesome Vegan cookbook that really is for everyone.  I also have few prints that I am offering from my shop :)

It promises to be an awesome week and I can't wait to see you back here!

Progressively Perfect: Virtual Dinner Party blog hop APPETIZER {Chili Layered Dip}

I am really excited to tell you about a little "get together" some of ladies from the Philly Social Media Moms are having.  It's called the Progressively Perfect Dinner Party.

Our Party is based on In Real Life Progressive Dinner Parties that start at one house for Appetizers and travel from place to place for each course until drinks afterward.  

We thought, "Why couldn't we have one where you hop from blog to blog?"

Please take a look a the links below to follow the party from course to course!

You are here to have one of my family's favorite fall-back appetizers:  The Chili Layered Dip.  It is SUPER easy and always delicious.  A little smooth and creamy and a little hot and spicy-YUM!

This is also great with homemade chili instead of store-bought and a delicious way to serve left overs :)

Ingredients 

• 1 (16 ounce) cans chili without beans 
• 1 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 
• 1 (16 ounce) packages shredded mild cheddar cheese or 
• 1 (16 ounce) packages sharp cheddar cheese 
• Chips (my favorite chips for this dip ate Fritos because they are hardy)

Directions 

• Press softened cream cheese into 12" x 12" glass pie dish.  
• Next pour the chili on top of the cream cheese. 
• Lastly, layer with the shredded cheddar cheese. 
• Microwave for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted. 
• Serve with your choice of chips :)
