Spicy Corn Dip

Jump to Recipe

I think everyone in a relationship with someone who’s deployed has a crutch that they lean on when things get stressful. And I’m sure some people have productive ones, like running. Or flossing.

I like to collect random things.

I think it’s always been my thing because my family still makes fun of me for saving crayon shavings in my pencil boxes when I was in elementary school.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that I have become a Goodwill stalker. I want all the old Pyrex.

All of it.

My husband was asking me the other night what I plan on doing with all of it.

Uhhh, I’m gonna put food in it and take pictures.

And then he asked why I don’t just look on Ebay.

Because then I don’t get to waste hours driving around to all the thrift stores in hopes of finding just one piece!

I’m obsessed. But you have to admit that the Pyrex is a lot more practical than last deployment’s nailpolish collection. I could live 10 lives and never make it through all that nailpolish. Geez.

Unrelated: Exactly 3 weeks until the first regular season NFL game. I AM READY.

And I’m making Spicy Corn Dip!

I love love love corn dip. Any kind of corn dip. Hot, cold, cheesy, spicy, I love it all! This version is hot and spicy and it’s just perfect with a big bag of the scoopy Fritos.

    I love corn dips – absolutely the perfect game food. And anything spicy is the best for a dip! I had a roommate in college that collected nail polish and literally had a huge storage box full of them – it was so cool. But I doubt she’ll ever get through even half of it :)

      Totally your fault! I’ve got my eye on 2 on ebay right now so it’s progressed from just thrift stores to ebay/etsy. It’s bad.
