CrockPot Cream Cheese Sausage and Rotel Dip
Day 277.
Happy Friday Fondue Day! Except this is more of a dip, than an actual fondue. Ive never been very good at rules.
This dip is famous. This is The Internets Dip. When I posted that I needed more recipes for the Little Dipper, I got no less than FORTY emails telling me about this dip. Pretty much everybody acknowledged that the ingredients were weird and shouldnt taste good together, but they just do.
Last night I had the extreme honor of going to a local book signing for Sleep Is For the Weak (which you should totally buy for everybody you know for a holiday gift) and then the fabulous Mizz Jenny spent the night.
Because I love her, and I know how much she loves The Internet, I made her this dip. I also gave her pink champagne. Because nothing says high-class like rotel and sausage dip with pink champagne.
The Ingredients.
--8 oz block of cream cheese
--1 can tomatoes and green chiles (aka Rotel), drained
--1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained
The Directions.
I didnt use the Little Dipper (I said I wasnt good at rules!), I used my 1.5 quart crockpot, and it was the right size. Youll need to cut the recipe in half to fit the Little Dipper.
Brown the sausage on the stove, and drain on paper towels.
Unwrap the cream cheese, and put it into your crockpot. Chop up the sausage and add on top. Drain the Rotel, and add it.
Cover and cook on low for about 90 minutes, or on high for 45. Stir well and eat with tortilla chips.
The Verdict.
Dude. This is good. I can not believe how good it is.
The ingredients are still weird. I totally agree.

Dark Chocolate Hemp Seeds by HimalaniaMakes A Great Topping For Fruit Or Ice Cream

Healthy, Yummy Treat
When I saw this new product in the store, I scooped it off of the shelf as quickly as I could and couldnt wait to try it. You know Im a big hemp seed fan - to date Ive got over a dozen posts on them. And who doesnt love dark chocolate?
Hemp seeds are one of the best sources of highly digestible protein. And they contain all of the essential amino acids making them a "complete" protein.
Hemp seeds also contain a good amount of omega-3 fatty acid with the perfect balance of omega-6. These fatty acids are important for the nervous system to function, for brain development, healthy skin, and a healthy heart and immune system. They also contain Stearidonic Acid (SDA) and Gamma LInolenic Acid (GLA), both of which help you utilize your omega essential fatty acids.
The best news is that American farmers are once again allowed to grow hemp thanks to a provision in the 2014 farmed bill. Because hemp is in the cannabis family (but has almost no THC and cannot make your high), the U.S drug laws prohibited the growing of hemp in the U.S. But everyone has finally come to their senses and now our farmers can tap into this very lucrative market. Canadas hemp production is bringing in almost a billion dollars a year!

Where to Buy
I found these at my local Whole Foods Market. But, as most everything else, you can buy them online at Amazon. If your local health food store doesnt have them, ask them to get them. They are delicious and healthy and I highly recommend them!
They state that they are not dairy free (so they are NOT VEGAN) but Im lactose intolerant and have had no issues with them since I only sprinkle a teaspoon or so on my fruit.
Enjoy!
