New Doritos flavors & contest

Doritos's has two great new flavors available.

Late Night, Last Call Jalapeno popper.  What can I say, this tastes just like a popper!  You get the pepper/cream cheese taste then the heat hits you.

Late Night, All Nighter cheeseburger.  The name of these Doritos made me laugh because the last time I had an all nighter it was due to a colicky baby not from partying.

It's hard to describe these Doritos.  They taste like a Mc D's burger.  You get a meaty, cheesy taste followed up with a bit of ketchup.  Definitely worth a try.

By visiting the Doritos Canada Facebook page, consumers can enter for a chance to win one of six prize packages including a pair of tickets to ten Live Nation Concerts of their choice and VIP access!

To spice up the deal the six winners will also receive:

·         Their own personal concierge service to call and assist with selecting their shows.

·         Two official artist tour t-shirts for each show they attend.

The Doritos Late Night Custom Concert Tour Contest starts on July 12 and ends on August 23, 2010

Just so we're clear.  I was given 2 bags of the above Doritos to sample.  The above is solely my opinion.

Ahhh..summer.  Hot lazy days spent by the pool, cool drinks and burgers on the BBQ.

Remember that inspired magazine and the Caribbean Jerk pork chops with tropical salsa?   

Here is another recipe.  This time it is for "ultimate" burgers.

2 lbs lean ground beef

1 1/2 lbs medium ground beef

1 tbsp Compliments Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp Compliments Louisiana Hot Sauce

1 tbsp Sensations by Compliments Roasted Garlic Seasoning Paste

1/4 cup water

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

12 Kaiser rolls, sliced in half

Sliced avocado

squeeze of lemon juice

tuft of alfalfa sprouts

Ranch Topping

1/4 cup

Compliments Balance Ranch Dressing 60 mL

chopped fresh dill 60mL

1. Place all ingredients except buns in a large bowl and mix gently until just combined. Without compacting the meat too tightly, form 12 patties.
2. Preheat grill to high. Cook burgers about 6 min. per side or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160°F (71°C) when inserted into centre of burger. Allow to rest 5 min

I have a great tip for making evenly sized meatballs or hamburgers.  Once your meat mixture is all mixed pat it out into a rectangle on parchment paper.  Then cut it evenly into squares.

  We also made 2 sauces for the burgers.  One was the recipe above for the ranch-dill sauce.

The other sauce was a mix of 1/4 cup each of Sensations by Compliments Pesto and Compliments Balance Mayo style dressing.  I also added some sun dried tomatoes and topped some of the burgers with Compliments provolone cheese slices.  It was so good.  This is the best store bought pesto I have ever had.  You can find it at Sobeys near the produce(refrigerated salad dressing section)

I

This is my ranch style burger with avocado.(I know, my buns are too big ;o)

  We also made the roasted garlic Dijon potato salad with fresh potatoes from the garden.  I have made this recipe a couple of times and there are never any leftovers.  See the recipe here

Everyone loved the burgers and potato salad.  It was an even tie.  2 votes for the pesto Italian burger and 2 votes for the ranch avocado burger.

*just so we're clear. I was given a gift certificate to purchase the above ingredients.  The comments expressed above are my family's honest opinion of this recipe.

Free lays chip trips!

Remember the Lay's Chip Trips I have been talking about?  Well my family and I cashed in some points and had some FREE fun!

For only 5 points you can get a free game at Laser Quest.  Have you ever been to Laser Quest?  I hadn't.  Let me tell you it was a blast!  Here is the site for Laser Quest if you want to check it out.  http://www.laserquest.com/

My kids have been asking to go back everyday now because they had so much fun.  I must admit that my husband and I had a lot of fun too.  Out of the 12 people who were in our game I ("YODA") came in second much to the surprise of my kids.  They didn't know their mom was a sharp shooter LOL.  

I have already cashed in 20 more points to go for another round.  Maybe next time I will come in first place! 

Check out http://www.lays.ca/ for chip trips available in your area!

Today I made the Jerk Pork Chops with Tropical Salsa

First I made a marinade of

1/3 c Sensations by Compliments Caribbean Jerk Marinade

1 tsp olive oil

1 tbsp of fresh lime juice. (I also added a bit of lime rind with my zester.  If you don't have a zester use a box grater on the fine side and grate only the green part of the lime)

Then while the pork chops were marinating I made the tropical salsa dressing

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Oil Oil

2 tbsp Compliments honey

1 tbsp Compliments red wine vinegar

To this I added

1/2 cup each of finely diced mango, red pepper, and fresh pineapple

1/4 c finely chopped red onion and green onion

1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

I let both the salsa and pork chops marinade in the fridge for 6 hours.  Then it was time to grill and eat!  Since I had extra fresh pineapple and lime I also made the Grill Pineapple with Fruit Sauce

It was very good.  I will definitely make it again.  

My Husband said,"when are you going to make it again".

kid #1 (who NEVER eats pork chops) said, "2 thumbs up Mom"

kid #2 said,"this salsa is so good I want to eat a big bowl of it".

*just so we're clear. I was given a gift certificate to purchase the above ingredients.  The comments expressed above are my family's honest opinion of this recipe.
