ro*tel party & giveaway
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Any of you Instagram followers will know that I absolutely LOVE spending Wednesday nights with my small group from church. Well, now that our group has grown to around twenty friends, we probably fall in the “not-so-small” group category now. :)
But I adore each of these friends, and look forward to the hilarity, stories, discussions, honesty, thoughtfulness, wisdom, craziness, and love that abound every Wednesday night. And once or twice a month, I also look forward to our dinner parties!!! Oh yes. As much as we love diving into deep discussions, we also love diving into some seriously good food.
So when RO*TEL asked me to host a “Spring Into Summer” party with some good eats, this crew was more than happy to party it up! We lucked out last week with an absolutely beautiful May evening, so we threw the windows open, laid out a rockin’ spread of summer-y food, iced the drinks, set up the yard darts, and were ready to par-tay! I also decided to branch out and try creating some new recipes with RO*TEL, so brought along this delicious queso blanco, black bean and mango salsa cups, stacked roasted vegetable enchiladas, salsa, and my new favorite Coke Float Push-Up Pops. And they were totally delicious! You’ll have to check out the recipes here this week.
But to celebrate the arrival of summer, RO*TEL is sponsoring a giveaway on the site too! So read below to enter, and also to see some more fun party pics. And be sure to check out RO*TEL’s website, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest board for more great recipes. Cheers to springing into summer!

For a quick and easy summer meal, we like to do Hobo Packets. Just about any combination of meats and veggies will work. Wrap in a foil packet, add seasonings, put on the grill (or in the oven) and cook. They always turn out different–and they’re always delicious!

My favorite summer meal is grilled pizza with fresh basil from the garden.
I just became a twitter follower.
My all time favorite summer recipe HAS to be tomato cucumber pasta salad. Dice up a cucumber and a tomato, throw it in with some al dente rotini noodles. Cover with 1/2 a bottle of your favorite italian dressing and sprinkle half a bottle of McCormick’s “salad supreme” on top. Mix well and enjoy!

My favorite summer recipes are dips (guacamole, pica de gallo, mango salsa, etc) and things you can stick directly into a camp fire!
I love summer food but my favorite is a simple caprese salad with fresh tomatoes & basil from my garden!
Right now my favorite summer dish is probably your queso. I’ve eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner…only once did I eat them all on the same day.

My favorite summer recipe is mozarella bruschetta. Spread pesto over baguette slices and place diced tomatos and mozarella cheese on top. Broil in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts and enjoy!
My favorite summer recipe is my mom’s mango avocado salsa. It’s so bright and colorful, and of course, delicious!

BLT Pasta Salad is one of my favorite summer recipes. Just bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, a teensy bit of onion, pasta (medium shells work great), and enough mayo to make it moist.
Also, I cannot tell you how much I’d love to win this giveaway – we’ve been eyeing an outdoor game set for a while, and I love me some queso con rotel!
