Memorial Weekend Snacks

Had to post about this awesome box I got right before Memorial Weekend.  My great friends at Frito-Lay sent me a box with all these freebies in it!! 

3 Full size bags of chips, a cooler bag, a recipe card and a dip packet.  We enjoyed the chips a lot. I made one of recipes for B's birthday party, and I made the dip packet too.  Both recipes we're really good.  The recipes are listed below.  I LOVE Frito-lay!   Way to make a holiday weekend and birthday party great!

________________________________________________

Mango Salsa Chutney (the one I made)

ingredients:
2 Mangoes
1 Onion
1 Jalapeno, finely chopped (I didn't add this)
1 handful cilantro
Juice of one or two limes
1/4 of 16 oz. jar Tostitos Salsa

Instructions: Chop all ingredients into similar-size pieces (except jalapeno, which should be finely chopped).  Mix together in large bowl.  Serve immediately.

1 avacado, peeled, pitted and chopped
1 red onion, diced

**Chips, Dip packet, cooler and recipes were sent to me by Frito-Lay in exchange for an honest opinion about their products.

Kite Festival

This past weekend we went to a kite festival on the beach.  It was so beautiful out and a great time of just relaxing...we really needed it!  Here are a few photos.

B and Tom had a great time flying B's kite too.

National Scrapbooking Day

Today I'm participating in the free Creative Crop over at Big Picture Classes.  What great motivation to actually scrapbook again.  I really haven't done it...well....since I had my daughter almost 3 years ago.  So many things change when you have a child.  :)  It is free.  You can still sign up if you want to and it doesn't start until 9 am PST.  So that would be 12 noon EST.  Below is the list of teachers for this event.  They'll be sharing something every hour.  Not sure that I'll be up until 11pm, but it should be fun throughout the day to participate.  Maybe I'll post some of the work from today. 
  Here’s a look at who will be teaching:
