Happy New Years Eve Day and 3 family favorite Dips.

Happy New Years Eve Day!

Its raining in Bourbonnais so happy its not snow!

 We  had enough for a while. Its actually going to be in the upper 50s.

Yesterday started the big thaw, Today the Snow is finally gone just a couple of big mounds left from the snow plows. you can actually see the grass of course its saturated and today as soon as its light enough I will be out their after a month of not being able to get out their you know what I will be doing I have two Dogs need I say more.

Its New Years Eve Day our last day for 2010 now to get used to writing 2011. I sure hope its a healthier year than last year for a lot of our family members who didn't have a healthy year. here is wishing them all good health in 2011 that goes for YOU and ME as well.

 

We had a great day yesterday and it was fun

Our Favorite Nachos

grate cheese together

 

Cover cookie sheet with foil 

spread nacho chips on to cookie sheet sprinkle combined cheeses on top

bake in 350 oven  5  minutes until melted. watching closely for desired doneness.

Or place in BBQ Grill until cheese is melted

 another way we do it is

put chips on paper plate and sprinkle cheese on and microwave for 1 minute or less keeping an eye for desired doneness.

The birds were over joyed. with the thaw.
