Perfect Pairing Chips & Dip Get Together

Thanks to The Motherhood and Frito-Lay, I was part of a Perfect Pairing Chips & Dip get together with five other Atlanta bloggers.  We had a great time chatting and eating chips and dip. What better way to spend an afternoon?

Frito-Lay Perfect Pairing Blogger Get TogetherWe were asked to each come up with a homemade dip that pairs up perfectly with Frito-Lay chips.  Normally I wouldn’t have had a difficult time coming up with a dip to make as I am a huge fan of hummus but because Piera is the queen of homemade hummus I didn’t even think about going there and I’m glad.  Piera’s hummus was delicious!!  While my dip may not have been very creative as I didn’t have time to make a homemade dip after being out of town for several days before the party and feeling a little under the weather, I’m sure you love it and know it well.  Drum roll please…  I brought Tostitos® All Natural Restaurant Style Salsa.  It’s in the beautiful plastic container in the photograph above, to the right of the Hint of Lime Tostitos®.  Delicious, right?

I look for snacks that includes ingredients that my 11 year old can pronounce and don’t contain food coloring.  That’s why we love Tostitos® Whole Grain Scoops and enjoy them will all sorts of dips.  We are partial to hummus at our house but we also love Tostitos Salsa.

Here are the delicious dips each blogger made and brought:
Pierra made Hummus
Kia made Avocado & Lime Black Bean Salsa
Renee made Clam Dip
Amy made Garlic Curry Dip and Peach Salsa
Heather made Cheesy Taco Dip

Not it’s your turn to have a Perfect Pairing get together with your friends or your family.  Why not grab a few bags of chips and a few dip recipes from Frito-Lay’s website and see what pairings you can come up with for your friends and family to enjoy this weekend?

One of the things that makes being a parent so much fun is seeing my kids enjoy the same things I did when I was young. Correct me if I’m wrong..when you were young nothing was more exciting than mom coming home with a multi-pack snack bag of chips that had all of your favorite flavors in it.  Mix that with a Choose Your Own Adventure book.. Shut Up!.. the fun just didn’t stop! I LOVED Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid and now my 11 year old son loves them too.  These books are a fabulous way to occupy kids for hours and keep kids interested in reading during the summer break which is so important.

During this special Frito-Lay and Choose Your Own Adventure books promotion families can not only choose their own snack adventure but a book adventure to go with it.  Pretty great huh?
