Hot Corn Dip with home made Torillas

This hot corn dip is more than just a dip, it could also be a side dish or you could do like I do and eat it as your main meal. I make full of flavor , home made seasoned crispy totilla chips to serve with the dip.
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning
2 cans of 11 oz. sweet yellow corn, water drained
1 can of sweet cream corn
1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained and diced smaller
2-1/2 cup shredded Mexican style four cheese
1/8 cup of olive oil
 
Mix all ingredients together except for 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and olive oil. 
In a 5x7 baking dish add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the baking dish.  Add the dip mixture and put the remaining cheese on top.  Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 
I like a less chucky tomato in my dip so I chopped them up.  

Home made Seasoned Crispy Tortilla Chips

1 package of Carb Balance Medium soft flower tortillas cut into 8th's.

Brush each side of the tortilla slices with the olive oil mixture. Salt to tast.

Time that he earns his keep!!!

The Cisco Kid has chores around the house he must do. At this point he does them without complaints. He doesn’t have many to do. He only has to make his bed, keep his room clean and put his dirty clothes in the hamper. I feel it is time for him to have a little more responsibility so I added some more chores to his list. He must put the recycles in the recycling bin located in the garage. Bring his laundry basket to the laundry room on laundry day. Hang his clothes in the closet once they are on the hangers. He gave me a little bit of an argument only because I interrupted his game of Wii. He stopped arguing with me real fast when I told him he will never play Wii again if he doesn’t cooperate.

He is so tired of me taking his picture.  I am always reminding him to smile.  Not this time!!!!  He was more than eager to smile.  He knew if I got my shot I would move on and he could go back to playing his game.
Hanging clothes in record time. I think I'm on to something here.   
Back to his game.

Let the Auction Begin!!!!

 Last night we had our monthly Pack meeting. This was lots of fun. All the boys had to make a sports themed cake and bring it to the Pack meeting. To make this fun and raise some money for future events we had an Auctioneer person come so she could auction our cakes off to the highest bidder. All the money we made goes towards the whole pack spending half a day at a horse ranch riding horses and our next pack campout.

The Cisco Kid wanted to make a fish to represent fishing.
This is what he looks forward to when he helps me bake a cake. 
 There is a straw with a gummy worm to make it look like a fishing hook. 

These are some great cakes from our Den.
I am going to start out by saying that The Cisco Kid wanted to win the auction for his cake. I told him that the bid would probably start at ten dollars and he could bid as high as $16.00. The Auctioneer asked the boys what they think their cake is worth and the Cisco Kid said $16.00. So that is where the auction started. She then said.... any one for $17.00 and someone raised their number. Then she said $18.00 and the Cisco Kid just looked at me like, I want to bid mom!! Can I go higher! I gave him the waive to go ahead. The bids went back and forth from The Cisco Kid to another gentleman. The cake went from $16.00 to $18.00, then TCK bid 19.00, then 20.00 to a gentleman. TCK 22.50, I gave TCK the signal for that was enough bidding. The gentleman grabbed the cake for $25.00.
This picture shows The Cisco Kid Shocked that someone else was bidding against him. 
The gentleman that won. He was the Auctioneers husband 
     These two laughing were so funny. Sebastian was up to auction off his cake and he told his father that he wanted to win it. The bid started out at 20.00. When Francisco bid the 20.00, Nancy would counter bid. Francisco was not going to let his son down. Nancy and Francisco went back and forth until he won the cake for his son and paid 45.00.
That was a fun evening.  We raised 611.00 auctioning off the cakes.
