Huevos Rancheros and Saucy Mama Blogiversary Giveaway!

With all of my list making and such, it probably won’t surprise you to know that I am a planner.  Not having a plan makes me anxious.  Nervous.  Unsettled.

I guess technically that makes me a planner and a worrier.

Anyway.

I’m not saying that my plans always work out.  In fact, most of them end up getting changed once they’re in progress.  Usually because I pack too much in too short of a time span.  Or because I’m running late.  Or both.  Let’s just say timing is an issue for me.

You would think, with all of this planning, that I would have something magnificent up my sleeve for today, my one year blogiversary.  And I do! Only, it wasn’t planned.

No, the serendipitous timing of my fun Saucy Mama Fab with Five contest entry, along with a Saucy Mama giveaway for one lucky reader, was pure chance.

(Actually, that’s a lie.  It was actually quite predictable.  It’s because I waited until the very last day to submit my contest entry. Again, the timing thing.)

I thought a lot about what I wanted to make for the contest.  And for a while I really was stumped.  I mean, it’s no easy task to utilize only five ingredients (plus the freebies – olive oil, salt and pepper) and put together a winning dish!

But once my Saucy Mama sample products arrived in the mail, my inspiration became clear.  The delicious new Sante Fe Creamy Chipotle Dressing would be my muse.

I knew I wanted to use the dressing in an unusual way, not just as a salad dressing or dipping sauce for veggies.  But I also wanted to showcase it.  Let it shine through.  Steal the show.

I just wasn’t sure how.

And then, when thinking about my upcoming trip to Mexico (just four more days and two finals stand between me and Cabo!), it hit me.  I would make Huevos Rancheros!
