Memorial Weekend-Pina Coloda and Bean Dip & Heretic Studios

So I’m a little slow and just now getting to post about Memorial weekend. This week at work has been a bit crazy trying to get caught up from the 5 day weekend (I took off Thursday and Friday then had Monday off! It was wonderful!!) But for the weekend we went down to the sand dunes near Little Sahara in Delta. We pulled out the toy hauler and got the RZR and everything loaded up and ready to go Thursday night. It was really windy when we got there and we couldn’t see much so we just parked and slept. Then Friday morning it was still pretty windy and crappy but we set up camp near our group and had some breakfast. Then we went to take the RZR up the hill. It was running really well and super fast and then it made a bad sound. I looked at Jace and he said, “That wasn’t good…” I guess the crank broke which isn’t fixable out there so it was done for the rest of the weekend. Luckily Jace’s little brother had an extra vehicle we could use so we rode that all weekend. But the weather was so windy/rainy off and on that we didn’t even get to ride much. We had planned on staying through till Sunday but when we woke up Saturday morning and the weather was still crappy we decided to just pack up and head home that afternoon.

The beautiful RZR-can you tell who picked the pink :)

Also notice the headlights and the light bar are Jace and Jake's products. Check them out at Heretic Studios Facebook page.

We stopped on our way home for lunch in Tooele at Wingers then got home and cleaned up a little. Then we went up to visit Jace’s friend Rocky in the hospital. He was having some kidney and liver problems and unfortunately passed away this week. Rocky is defiantly someone you can’t forget and will be truly missed. Memorial services are this Friday June 1^st at 5pm at his Grandmother’s house. Small program and open mic for those who want to share their memories. 2695 S 450 E Bountiful, UT 84010 so if you knew Rocky defiantly come by on Friday.

Later Saturday night Jace and I went to see John Carter at the dollar theater since Jace had been wanting to see it for awhile. I wasn’t super impressed with it, it was just ok. I thought the beginning was pretty slow but the end got better. The Sunday we just relaxed and hung out.

Hanging out Sunday

Monday we did some shopping and went out to eat. That night we cleaned out the trailer and all the toys really well. We got the lawn mowed, the house cleaned, all the laundry done and ready for the upcoming week. It was so nice to just relax and hang out with Jace a lot this weekend. Now that it has been warming up this week I’ve been really craving Pina Colada’s at night. I always need a snack to go with them though so the other night I decided to make this bean dip that sounded yummy. Super easy and delicious. I mentioned the Pina Colada’s in this previous post but the recipe is below.

Virgin Piña Colada

Touchdown Bean Dip

Karen Lewis

Ingredients

16 oz. refried beans

1 8oz. package cream cheese (softened)

1 pkg. taco seasoning (25 oz.)

2 garlic cloves pressed (I just use minced garlic or garlic salt)

Shredded cheese (enough to cover the entire dish)

Pico (tomatoes, onion, cilantro all diced/chopped)-season with onion powder, garlic salt according to taste).

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bottom of pan spread beans in bottom. In bowl combine cream cheese, taco seasoning and garlic. Spread over beans. The softer the cream cheese, the easier to spread. Top with pico mixture and cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes. Serve with chips. (I prefer Fritos Scoops)         

**I like to double everything (except the taco seasoning, just use 1 pkg.)  

The top right corner doesn't have tomatoes becuase Jace doesn't like them...
