Baked Ricotta Dip-Lucille’s Bloody Mary Mix Review

Ricotta Dip with Lucille's Bloody Mary Mix
I received samples of Lucille’s Bloody Mary Mix to review. Opinions and recipes are my own. I received no further compensation.
When a representative from Lucille’s Bloody Mary Mix contacted me, I admit I was intrigued. I honestly never heard of a dry spice mix that was specially formulated for Bloody Mary cocktails.
I’ve seen liquid mixes and have sampled a few Bloody Marys over the years.
But that wasn’t what interested me. People were using these spice mixes in food recipes!
On Lucille’s website you’ll find these spice combos used as meat rubs, in dressings, sauces and even bbq.
I had a different approach. I thought Lucille’s mixes would be perfect to spice up a hot cheese dip. My choice was Baked Ricotta Dip.

Choose any of the 3 varieties available at the website depending on how spicy your tastes may be.

I chose San Francisco Mild but I’m sure the New Orleans Nippy or Cajun Hot would work as well.

Creamy Chicken Barley Soup #WeekdaySupper

Creamy Chicken Barley Soup

I received PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock from Perdue in conjunction with a sponsored social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.
Creamy Chicken Barley Soup made from rich stock, wholesome barley, fresh chicken and vegetables, doesn’t need to take hours to prepare. PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock has robust chicken flavor that makes soup a breeze!
I was so excited when I first found out that Perdue was rolling out a refrigerated stock. Stock to me has all the good stuff already in there. Chicken broth with vegetables and seasonings marry to create that flavorful taste I love. A must have as base of my soups and casseroles.

Another important issue to me when choosing ready-made stock or broth is the source. PERDUE® chickens are always fed a 100% vegetarian diet, including locally sourced corn and soybeans, and marigolds. They never use added hormones or steroids.
I love their motto supporting this philosophy: Because we believe that if you wouldn’t feed it to your family, we shouldn’t give it to our chickens.
The USDA certifies the chickens from PERDUE® are fed a 100% vegetarian diet, with no animal by-products, and cared for in a clean, safe environment.

Turkey Croquettes #SundaySupper

Turkey Croquettes

Turkey Croquettes might conjure up an image of Ma’s Diner to some people. I see a great way to use two or maybe three Thanksgiving leftovers.
Years ago I’d make a big turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, corn, gravy, cranberry sauce, gravy, pie, pumpkin roll and more. Did I say gravy?
Leftovers went home with guests and family in plastic containers and baggies for snacking or Friday’s lunch.
Now its just the two of us, and even scaled that same dinner means we’ll have leftovers.
Stuffing, shredded turkey and broth make a delicious patty. Top with Chicken Milk Gravy and you’ll forget it was made from leftovers!
Special thanks to Jennie from The Messy Baker Blog for hosting!
