What I Wore in January

January was quite the busy month over here! We started the month in the country visiting Steve’s family, started planning our wedding including lots of venue tours, and also fit in lots of comfy cozy winter days.

It was fun to have a few weekends to get a little dressed up when we visited various wedding venues in the area.  I don’t have many reasons to dress up right now, so I take all the excuses I can!  I had a few comfy sweaters make their way into rotation this month along with a statement coat or two.

Keep scrolling for a look at what I wore last month!

Where are my football fans at?  Mixing it up with a yummy and super easy party snack recipe just in time for Sunday’s big game!  This sausage and cream cheese dip recipe has been a long time favorite of mine, and I introduced Steve to it this year.  We wanted something different than our normal queso and chips, and I thought of this old favorite.  He was instantly hooked and requested it be added into our football snack rotation.

It’s so easy to make, and you only need THREE ingredients!  I personally love to use fire roasted diced tomatoes, but you can use the regular or mix it up with one of the other varities.  Serve this party dip with either tortilla chips or corn chips.

Not only is this dip only 3 ingredients, but you can also make it in one pan for easy cleanup.  Once I brown the sausage, I remove to drain and add in my cream cheese to soften for a bit before mixing in a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles.

Stir those two ingredients together until the cheese is melted and smooth.  I stir almost constantly to prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom of the pan.

Once you have a smooth consistency, add back in your browned sausage and mix to combine.  Your dip is now ready to serve!  Yes this dip is that easy!!

This sausage and cream cheese dip is great right off the stove when it’s still warm.  One of the perks of this dip, it still tastes yummy at room temperature.  I personally prefer it about 20-30 minutes after it’s done cooking.  A dip than doesn’t need to stay warm all party or game long is perfect in my book.
