Yesterday at work we planned a shower for our longtime food colleague, probably the cutest pregnant woman I’ve ever seen. Sweet lover that she is, we planned cakes, brownies, etc. Then it hit me, she’s a proud Oklahoma-born eater too. We changed our plans, and what a good move. The individual frito pies, used the chili from my first Mad Hungry cookbook http://www.marthastewart.com/318747/chili, and the infamous cheese dip beloved by so many: melted Velveeta cheese blended with Rotelle tomatoes.
To make the little bundles, slice open the frito bag, plop on some chili, drizzle over some cheese dip, and you’re good to go. Turns our that EVERYONE–man, woman and child went nuts for this.
Make it now for your sweetheart, and they’ll love you forever.
Best, LSQ (and hearts to JR for tech support)
