Corn Dip

Corn Dip

1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
2 (11 ounce) cans Mexican-style corn (I used shoepeg corn and added diced fire roasted tomatoes because I couldn't find mexi-corn and I run the tomatoes through the food processor)
4 green onions, chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles (I don't like green chiles so I upped the jalapenos)
1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (I used Kroger brand nacho and taco shredded cheese)

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, corn, green onions, jalapeno chile peppers, green chile peppers and cheese.
Ready to serve!
Very tasty with fritos

Punch Recipe

We had this punch at Mr. Giggles cousin's wedding. It was so yummy (and he liked it, very unusual). I don't know about you but I am always looking for punch recipes that are different from the "usual" punch suspects. Don't get me wrong, I love the sherbet and ginger ale punch but sometimes I want something a little prettier. This would be great for baby showers, wedding showers, birthdays, anniversaries, you name it.

Punch
2- 2 liters of Sprite
2- 1 liter sparkling water tropical flavored (from Walmart)
1 can frozen concentrate (white grape or raspberry/white grape-
1 bag of frozen mixed fruit which acts like ice

Combine and serve. ENJOY!

Please note that because of the fruit, if you serve it from something with a spout, it will get stopped up.

Reason???

Well, I have been mulling over the thought of going back on my regular blog and labeling the posts so I can find the recipes I post. . . . .well since I think that sounds really boring and time consuming, I decided to just do a blog that is just for recipes and maybe the occasionally restaurant review!! I will probably post recipes that I read about that sound good and ones that I have actually tried I don't know that I will update this blog very often but you never now what might happen! I may even have guest bloggers on here. Like I said, you never know what might be going on in the crazy mind of Giggles!!
