Retro-Re-pin-Party-Button-450x450

Welcome back to the weekly Retro Re-pin Party, where everything old is new again! I don't know about you, but I am getting so excited for football season to start up again. I live in Denver, so I always have to cheer for the Broncos, but I am also a huge fan of college football. I'm ready for watch parties with queso, wings, and jalapeno poppers and Sunday afternoons of blogging and doing projects ...

Throw a Doctor Who Season Premier Party

Throw a Doctor Who season premiere party! Most of you don't know this about me, but I'm a MAJOR Whovian. Hubby and I have watched all of the 2007 reboot of Doctor Who at least a few times and have been starting in on watching all the original series. We are lucky to have many Whovian friends, so we threw a huge bash for the 50th anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor, back in ...

Mexican Corn Salad (Esquites)

July 28, 2014 by Steph Powers 25 Comments

Esquites Mexican Corn Salad

A hot, cheesy Mexican Corn Salad adapted from the popular Mexican street corn, elote.  A few weeks ago I got stuck without eggs and made a run to our closest grocery store. I typically avoid this particular because their prices are crazy and they only have what I need half the time. It happened to be a Friday when they were running one of their TGIF specials and corn on the cob was 10 ...

Black Bean Corn and Avocado Salsa

Black beans, corn, and avocados come together in this quick, fresh, salsa.  We threw a going away party for some dear friends a few weeks ago and needed a quick salsa for some chips to offset all the desserts. (They were "desserting" us, so we threw them a dessert party.) It just so happened that I had a few cans of corn, some fresh tomatoes from the garden, a can of black beans, and some ...
