Wine Wednesday

My blog's titled dinner, wine, & my spare time
So I figured it's time for wine! We can discuss my spare time later, after I finish this glass lol!

 Here is my philosophy on wine
Box wine is good, there I said it! Wine doesn't have to cost more that $20 a bottle. Don't be afraid of twist-offs. I will drink $5 champagne (or to be technical sparkling wine). That being said any "champagne" less than $5 I will probably pass on! Yes, I am a sucker for pretty wine bottles.
For Thanksgiving I bought box wine, I decided to go with a little more upscale brand (upscale for box wine, it that an oxymoron?) Which gave me more flavor options. I wanted some pinot grigio and hubs wanted pinot noir.  What can I say we love our pinots :-)

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
