When I first named this blog I got nervous after a few weeks. I thought to myself, my name is too long. My name is too weird, I am going to scare away people without kids and make the foodies reject me for the kid element. Then Indigo bit me (literally), and I came back to reality (seriously how old am I to be debating the name for 2 hours?!!) - the name works.
But…always a but!
Lately I have thought a few other names would work here too. Let’s see what they are.
1. The “I just potty trained my daughter now where is my trip to Hawaii blog”
2. The “OMG is it Monday again, why is it always Monday again blog”
Seriously..it is always Monday!
3. The “Why can’t I pay someone else to work out for me blog” You could be rich if working out was your thing.
4. The “I copy everything that the Pioneer Woman Does Blog” That one fits the most today, girlfriend makes the kind of food I adore.
INGREDIENTS
Delightfully borrowed from Pioneer Woman
{Printable Recipe}
• 32 ounces, weight Velveeta Cheese Loaf
• 10 ounces, weight Rotel
• 1 pound Jimmy Dean Hot Breakfast Premium Pork Sausage
• 7 ounces, weight Chopped Green Chilies
• 1 whole Yellow Onion
• 1 whole Jalapeno, or more to taste (I left this out for the little one, still plenty of heat!)
DIRECTIONS
Dice the onion. Using a nonstick sprayed skillet, cook sausage and onions until brown, stirring occasionally. Once browned, drain some of the fat from the skillet.
Cube Velveeta loaf. Add cubes to browned sausage and onion mixture. Add can of Rotel (juice and all), can of green chilies (juice and all), and stir over low heat. It will take almost 10 minutes for everything to get all nice & MELTY.
Now if you please you can chop up a jalapeno and add that into the mix, I had my little ones taste buds to think about so I skipped that. The Queso was still plenty hot, and oh so tasty. We ate only 1/3rd of it and saved the rest in 2 ziplog bags. Easily Freezable.

Well, we ALL love pioneer woman. :)
But I like the other name too. Every mommy deserve a trip to Hawaii after potty training.
A great Pioneer Woman recipe! It looks so scrummy.
I like the name of your blog. Mine is also long and weird... ;-P
Cheers,
Rosa
DANG IT! Why didn't I think of a Hawaii trip for ME when we got them potty trained?!?! We took THEM to Disney. That was the big bribe all along....but perhaps had I bribed myself with Hawaii...well, I could have had it done in 13 hours flat I am sure, lol!
My kids love Queso dip in all of it's many forms. Perhaps I should try this one. I love the name of your blog. How could you resist with that face and curly locks?
I feel you on the Hawaii thing. And the Pioneer Woman thing ;) But I LOVE the name of your blog. Indigo is such an awesome name.
You just used Rotel. AKA: I love you forever and ever. Going to college in Texas, I practically bathed in queso, except back when we made it, it was simply melted Velveeta with a can of Rotel and a big bag of Tostitos. You just kicked it up a notch and for that I salute you.
Now send me a big ol' batch of that.
YUM! I make the same thing but use 2 blocks of cream cheese instead of the velveeta. It's what I'm required to bring if any of our friends have a party!
The beautiful thing is your blog is every bit as entertaining - without all the other 'stuff' to sort through! And it just wouldn't be the same without the name. I adore the name of your little girl. Might have to steal it from you one day... ;)
WOW, this looks amazing! You could also name your blog "I Will Make You Laugh" because you always do:)
Can I just come to your house for a day. You are such an amazing cook.
xo
this looks amazing. i wish i was eating it right now!!! i usually read you in reader so i just saw your new header and i love it!
I love your name -- like you, unique and special. (And I'm a big Pioneer Woman fan, too.) Did I tell you I made your sliders and they were a hit?
Right now I love the paying someone to workout blog name;) This dip looks awesome-Love PW's recipes!!
When BOTH you and the PW blog about the same dish, I know it's a winner!
That dip looks so good! I guess there are a lot of us who could call our blog Recipes from Pioneer woman :)
YUM-MEE! i make a dip similar to this every new year, and i LOVE it! i love the sausage and green chiles, delicious!
I love your blog's name! If it helps, I seem to always wonder and fret about my blog's name too. I mean, who understands Jolts & Jollies?? It has meaning to me and that's what is important. If your name has meaning to you...that's all that matters!
Queso rocks! I love your blog name- it suits your blog! (Who am I to be talking about weird blog names anyway?) And I love Indigo's curls. :)
Smile. I love the Pioneer Woman too...and I also love your blog (and queso, of course) Thank you for sharing with me...and for your kind and uplifting words over the past few days. Your presence has brought me joy and comfort.
I want the "why can't someone work out for me blog"
I didn't know it!
Very interesting recipe
Have a nice week end, Barbara
I love queso...and the Pioneer Woman... and the why can't someone work out for me blog!!! :)
Haha, I don't have any kids but I can imagine what an accomplishment it is to potty train! One of my past coworkers said it was a "raise" because she didn't have to spend money on diapers anymore. That always stuck with me for some reason!
This queso dip looks aaaaamazing. I'm starving right now and could dive into that bowl.
I always enjoy your take on a PW recipe! My family wouldn't pass this dip up either. Oh, and I thought a trip to Hawaii is mandatory after potty training ;o)
I didn't know that Hawaii was part of the potty training gig... yay! Shae and I will see you there in a few days!
I flippin' LOVE queso dip. Why didn't it ever occur to me to make it with pig?! LOVE MORE.
Have a great weekend, Furla and Mizz Indigo Joule!

I LOVE queso dip, and I'm always making Pioneer Woman's recipes. I totally understand. Love it! And congrats on getting Indigo potty trained!!
I love this recipe...I mean deep love!!
This post made me giggle :)
Hawaii does sound like fun. The queso dip looks deeeliiiciiious. I got chips, yes. Pass the bowl please.
Jennifer when I'm being a total dork I mimic the "Yo" of my generation. At the weirdest times, because I always thought it was so dorky it was funny.
You are so fun! I love love love the picture of all the queso ingredients piled up in the pan. I've been thinking about making queso for weeks, now you've convinced me.

I love your sense of humor and all your alternate titles...especially the one about Mondays. It seems like it's always Monday in my world too...and I've never quite come to understand it. I think making this dip on Monday for dinner would be a great start to the week and ease a little of the Monday yuck. Thanks for the recipe!
I thought your title was a reference to gas chromatography mass spectrometry test of sugar and that it yielded an indigo color. Ok, I'm kidding.
Love the cheese sausage dip!
Haha, love the recipe, love the story. I originally called my blog 'in the Kitchen' then changed it cos I thought it was boring. Then I had to do a post about why I decided to change it, and it got very confusing... anyway, I know how you feel. WHY IS IT MONDAY AGAIN???
I think I might eat some chips, and cheesy meaty chilli dips, now.
can totally relate to what ure saying about the naming... could call myself “I copy everything that the 'Deeba of Passionate about Baking' does Blog”

Hmmm - this is one darn good lookin dip!
Yuuuuuummy! I adore queso -- how did I miss it on PW? See, it's great that you shared this, otherwise I don't think I'd ever have found it. I love all of your cute blog names, too! Including the current one. ;-)
Those are all great names! Haha. This dip looks great.
