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!

  1. 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!

  6. 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!
