A couple of weeks ago (during the pantry challenge), I needed to make a dish to take to an church fellowship on Sunday night. So, I came up with this simple and yummy recipe.

Easy Beef and Bean Dip
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cans pinto or kidney beans (I used pinto beans from my freezer.)
- 1 can Rotel
- 1 pkg cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 t. cumin (you may want to add more to taste)
- 1 pkg taco seasoning
- Salt to taste.
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain. Mix all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or until dip is heated through. Keep on low or warm until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips. This could also be served as a filling for beef and bean burritos. Enjoy!

This past weekend at Blissdom, I had the time of my life meeting SO many fabulously amazing women who I’ve grown to love online. We forged deeper “real life” connections, we giggled, cried (a little) and grew. There is such a vast community and it is a privilege to be a very small part of it!

All the Blissdom Babies and their Mamas!
A special shout-out to Christine for making it extra special for the Blissdom Babies – swagbags and stroller “trials.”

I got to meet Jennifer (aka MckMama). She is amazing, down-to-earth, humble and as genuine as they come. She even gave me some camera advice!

I hung out with these fabulous women – Amy and Alyssa! I *heart* them!

Um, yeah. This is the swag from the weekend. Yes, it is unbelievably amazing!

For fear of leaving someone out, I won’t begin to name all the wonderful women that I connected with this weekend, but here are the ones in these photos:
Amy, Stephanie, Phoebe, Hillary, Arianne, Toni, Alyssa, Mandy, Rachel, Cheryl, Joy, Lauren, Amy, Stephanie, Amy, Jen, Crystal, Connie, Melissa and Holly
Among many, many, many more!
One of my favorite things about Blissdom was all the smiles and hugs. Oh the hugs! It was an incredible experience of camaraderie from women who “get” me. In a world full of people who look at me like I have 5 heads or food in my teeth when I mention blogging, it was such a “hug.” Seriously.
The sessions were great and the food was good too, but the best part was the sense of community, the conversations, the connections. I’m excited about life, my precious family and this blog.
Speaking of family, my hubs was absolutely amazing! He took care of Ridley for 3 days and nights straight. Ernie was a super dad to a very grumpy baby. I love you babe!
And I can’t wait until Blissdom 2011!
