Individual Seven-Layer Mexican Dip Cups



I love, love, love Seven Layer dip and having my own cup (or two or three) is a great idea. I can finish it all without hogging the space around a large pan of it everyone is trying to get to. These would be great for a Super Bowl party or Cinco de Mayo party too.

Paper Whites Bloom for the Holidays


Beautiful Paperwhites begin to grow as soon as they are planted and fragrant flowers appear in 3-4 weeks. Unlike other Narcissus species, Paperwhite bulbs do not require chilling to promote blooming. 

Paperwhites need only 3” of root room so shallow containers will work well like shown in the photo above. Pretty glass or ceramic bowls are ideal. For one-of-a-kind presentations, scout antique stores and estate sales for unusual containers. You can plant Paperwhites in soil, glass marbles, pebbles or even tumbled beach glass.  Because these flowers are usually discarded or transplanted after they have flowered, the planting medium doesn't need to supply any nutrients for the plant.

Skinny White Sangria Sparkler Recipe


A fabulous cocktail that's as beautiful to look at as it is yummy to drink. This absolutely gorgeous White Sangria is simple and made without added sugar, it is the perfect “Skinny Girl” cocktail. The White Sangria Sparkler is an entertaining show stopper guests will love!

  • 1-2 bottles of crisp white wine, I used 1 bottle Sauvignon Blanc and 1 bottle of sparkling Vino Verde
  • 2 ripe local peaches, sliced
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • 2 kiwis
  • several sprigs of mint
  • Stevia (health food market)

Simply add the sliced fruit and mint to the wine and add several squirts of the Stevia to attain desired sweetness. Refrigerate at least an hour so the flavors infuse. You can also freeze half of the fruit and add right before serving so they act like ice cubes.  Recipe from Linda Wagner.

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas Recipe



Liven up your party, your weekend or Cindo de Mayo party with refreshing Pink Grapefruit Margaritas. These would be a fabulous choice for a bachelorette party, bridal shower or a lady's birthday party. Super simple to make, but you do need fresh limes as it really makes a difference.

  • 1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
  • 1 cup triple sec orange liqueur
  • 3 cups ice
  • 1 cup silver tequila
  • 1 lime cut in wedges, optional margarita salt

Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec and ice in a blender. Pour into a large pitcher (or just keep it in the blender) and pour in your favorite silver tequila, stir.

If you don't like margaritas frozen or slushy, just combine all ingredients in a pitcher - skip the blender- and pour into glass over ice cubes.

If you prefer to rim the glasses take a lime wedge and rim, then dip in salt, if you do not like a salted rim sprinkle a touch of salt in each glass, the salt really brings out the flavor.

Makes 4 drinks.
