Holiday Shopping Survival Tip


With the holidays upon us, who's got time for shopping? (Huh?) I'd rather be in the kitchen perfecting my someday-to-be-famous red sauce. Notice, I don't say soon-to-be-famous red sauce. That's because it just seems like there aren't enough hours in a day to make it happen right away! By the way, red sauce, for all of you non-Italians out there wondering, is simply red. I mean, you know, spaghetti sauce.

Anyhow, all of that aside for now. In this household, we like to save money and time so, thought I would pass along this holiday survival tip that can help you avoid the mall madness. Right now you can save an additional 60% at restaurant.com, where $25 dining certificates can be purchased for as little as $4. To take advantage of the instant 60% off savings, just go to restaurant.com, enter discount code 10523 and hit "recalculate total" during the purchase process.

Italian Beefy Potato Chip Dip


Here's a variation of a chip dip with an Italian spin. My friend and business associate, Chuck Anthony came up with this one between brainstorming sessions--still mapping out our website strategy, by the way. Anyhow, follow this link to the Jays Potato Chips recipe page. Just substitute the one pound of ground beef with your favorite Italian beef (shredded). You may also want to mix in a small bottle of hot giardiniera.

Oh, if you're unfamiliar with Italian beef, check out Portillo's.
