White Cheese Dip????!

Help!  Have you ever made white cheese dip.....the kind that you get in a Mexican restaurant?  I tried it last night and it flopped!  I've looked online for recipes.  Lots of them say to use Assada cheese.   I can't find that in the grocery store anywhere! 

I used a "mexican" blend that included Cheddar, Assada, and Monterey Jack.  I found some mexican cheese---and i don't even know the name of it----- it was white----so i used it------and some Pepper Jack, and some White American, which I could only find in wrapped singles.  I also used half and half, cilantro, and cumin.  It did not melt well.  I think it was largely due to the Mexican cheese taht I used.  It was kind of crumbly.  The consistency of the dip was lumpy and a little like gravey.  I even added more half and half to it to thin it out.  Next time I'm not using the mexican cheese.

Do you have a recipe for white cheese dip?

Natalie's family is coming up in a week or so.  We are going to have "Mexican"  I was hoping to make the dip then.  Her family in not big on Rotell dip and neither is mine. I like it, but Joe and the girls are not very fond of it.  Me....on the other hand....i'll eat about anything-----except for that stuff I made last night.  It was gross!  I just tossed it out!

The girls at work told me about some kind of dip that they can get in the deli section at Wal-mart.  I looked there, but I'll have to look harder I guess. 

I've got to take Madison after work today to get her kindergarten physical.  It's hard to belive that she's going to start school this coming year.  Abby is growing so much too.  She is talking a lot. She and Madison play pretty well toghther.  She thinks that she has to do everything that big sis does and keeps right up with her.

Wish me luck on the dip!  Help me out if you can!

This has got to be a better week!

Oh my gosh!  I've got to have a better week this week than last week!  Let me just recap for you.

MONDAY:  Inlaws were coming for dinner.  Dinner in crockpot.  Crockpot to shift to warm-----it didn't.  I came home to bunred b-b-q beef and had to re-cook something.

TUESDAY:  Abby-----bean up the nose.  Had to go to doctor.

WEDNESDAY:  Woke up about 30 minutes late. Loaded girls into car.  Flat tire on car.  Unloaded girls.  Reloaded into truck.  Low fuel in truck. Prayed all the way to work.  Was almost late.

THURSDAY:  Not too bad.  Kicked a kid out of class.  Went to chiropractor after work.

FRIDAY:  Hit a deer on the way to work, driving Joe's truck.  Lots of damage.  Didn't make it in to work.

I guess that it could have been worse-----like it all could have happened in one day! 

Saturday and Sunday were good though.  The weather was great.  Easter was a good day.  Church service was the best Easter service that I've ever been to.  We grilled out ----hamburgers.  Hunted eggs. And we went for a buggy ride.  It was a good day.

Hope this week is bettter!  How was your Easter?
