The cheese wedges were sent along with a recipe card for The Laughing Cow Simple Cheesy Salsa that we followed to make the dip.

That dip practically flew out of the bowl and neither of us were all that hungry. I think chips and dip are like ice cream to me… I always have room for more!
Dinner
Dinner tonight came together quickly as nearly all pasta dinners around here tend to do.
In my bowl:
- Whole grain rotini pasta tossed in olive oil
- Apple chicken sausage
- Steamed broccoli
- Mozzarella cheese
Such a good dinner!
I thought I would miss topping my pasta with marinara since I’m a red sauce girl through and through, but the olive oil and mozzarella cheese added plenty of flavor and omitted the need for a sauce.
Off to dive into a new book!
Anyone else read Wither? It was highly recommended to me by a friend and Lisa gave it a glowing review, so I have high hopes!

That dip sounds great! Must try – I always have room for chips and dip too!
There’s something about unwrapping a Laughing Cow that makes eating cheese so much more fun.
I think most of us are that way with chips and dip … it’s so hard to stop. Ever have the chips and salsa at Chili’s? Their chips are so thin, that I end up eating about 10x more than I normally would! So yummy! 🙂
ooh, that cheesy salsa looks amazing! i love that it’s so healthy too.
i’m putting Wither on hold at our library, looks like a good one, thanks for the recommendation! I loved Divergent (based on your rec).
I just started reading The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes last night before I went to bed – it definitely has me intrigued already. I was literally falling asleep for a few seconds and then waking up to keep reading, haha – I would have kept reading if I wasn’t so tired!
My house is never without Laughing Cow wedges. Why is it I never thought to mix them with something else?!
Any sort of chip and salsa snack is my weakness… Can’t wait to try this! I love how versitile Laughing Cow is!
OOH! Is that a new book club book for the blog??
That dinner looks like something I’ve made myself many a time… 😉
nope! the book club book for march is the secret life of ceecee wilkes. 🙂 i finished it a couple weeks ago and just picked this one up for personal reading!
LOVE chips and salsa! Unfortunately I’m not a huge fan of Laughing Cow-it tastes very processed to me. Is that weird?
I had salsa+ cheese a few years ago at a party, I was grossed out by the look of it. But SOO in love with the taste.
I could eat like a half gallon of chile con queso and still have room! It’s the most addictive thing ever. That recipe looks pretty easy, I may have to give it a try for when I need a quick chile con queso fix!
Oh gosh, that looks so good! BOTH! Ahhh can I come over for dinner? haha. Oh and I’m in the middle of the bookclub book and loving it! I’ve never heard of Wither though
I looove that Laughing Cow cheese flavor! I don’t know how they make them so tasty and so low calorie and low fat! Glad you got to enjoy, I’ll need to try mixing them with salsa sometime soon!
I really enjoyed Wither once I swallowed some annoyance with a character. Fever (the sequel) just came out last week.
I loooovveee that cheese! And so that dip sounds amazing to me. YUMM.
What a great idea for the Laughing Cow Wedges!
Where do you find your Laughing Cow Wedges I feel like I can never find some of the flavors you use!
i always see them at publix!
That laughing cow cheese is my favorite! Sooo yummy… I love it with pretzel chips. Heaven. I’ll have to try it with the salsa though. That.looked.delicious.
I really enjoyed the book Wither and also the sequel Fever. They were recommended on Amazon after I got Divergent when you wrote about it. You might also like Matched by Ally Condie and Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Both have a similar feel to them.
i’ve heard great things about delirium!
Although be prepared while reading Delirium that you might want to say “Yeah, I know, you told me already” about 100 times. I don’t know if the author thinks I have a bad short-term memory or what!
just pinned this julie!!
I’m obsessed with those wedges… what a genius recipe idea!!!
Mmmm, now I want cheese and salsa! Have you tried mixing salsa with plain greek yogurt for dip?? Soooo yummy too! 🙂
no! that’s brilliant!
I love those laughing cows, I haven’t seen those flavours here though! Great little dip!
I saw this post on the way to the grocery store and made it tonight!! It was sooo awesome. Seriously. Amazing.
I bet that dip would make a great sauce on grilled chicken too !
I absolutely love Laughing Cow. I had it today. Have you seen their strawberries and cream flavor? I saw it somewhere online!
noooo! i need to try that!
That dip sounds delicious! 🙂 I didn’t realize that Laughing Cow came out with that flavor. I’m dying to try their new cinnamon cream cheese. It sounds amazing! Totally going to try this dip.
I love Laughing Cow cheese! This is a great idea to tuck away for unexpected guests… looks like it comes together in a few minutes!
That cheese and salsa combination looks and sounds amazing! Is that cheese currently out in stores? I must try this. I had my family’s homemade salsa TWICE yesterday so I am most definitely on the salsa kick… Must. Try. Now!
Have you read The Lone Wolf by Jodi Piccoult? I recieed a signed copy yesterday in the mail from a former college roommate and we are going to start a “book club by distance” and read it together. Just wondering if you’ve heard anything about the book yet…
yes! i’ve seen it at publix!
Great, thanks Julie! I’ll have to look for it online because I’m from NY and we don’t have any publix here.
Ps. I’m still thinking about that salsa and cheese…
Loved Wither! I just read the second book and it created more questions than answers so I’m excited for the 3rd book. Have you read Poison Study by Maria Snyder? It’s an easy read but completely absorbing and really well written. I read Poison Study and then immediately began to read everything she’s ever written.
I love cheesy salsa mixes! We like to use pepperjack cheese with chili beans and salsa- so good with an extra kick from the pepperjack!
I love Laughing Cow! I will definitely try this! Last night I made a Quinoa Salsa bowl with Quinoa, Salasa (duh), Light Sour Cream, FF Cheese and chopped cilantro. It was Awesome!! Im wondering how that Laughing Cow Chipotle flavor would do melted into Quinoa. Definitely doing this!
mmmm I love queso dip! I haven’t seen this flavor of Laughing Cow anywhere yet. Do you know if it’s in stores?
i saw it at publix!
Thanks for the dip recipe! I have both of those ingredients in my fridge and will definitely be trying that out tomorrow for an afternoon snack!
I just put Wither on hold at the library – I can’t wait to read it!
