I am really excited to bring you this giveaway - the great people at DYMO sent me this great Labelmaker kit to play with - it has EVERYTHING you need to organize and label your entire house. I got SO excited when I got mine that I went a bit overboard with the labels…

Um, yeah…just a TAD overboard.

So what do you get in your prize? You will recieve a DYMO Personal Label Maker LetraTag Plus LT-100H , a HUGE selection of tapes for all purposes, AND batteries, so your Labelmaker is ready to go right out of the package…

All you have to do to win is leave your best labeling ideas/tips in a comment below. What would YOU use this fantastic labelmaker for? In the Kitchen, in the Craft Room, to keep your children straight (KIDDING!)? Let us hear your best ideas!

Entries for this giveaway will open til Friday, August 1st at 9PM PST. Good Luck!!

This is one of my most-often made recipes lately - we put salsa on EVERYTHING, and although this has a bit of bite, my boys love it as much as the grownups do!

Domestic Chicky’s Quick & Dirty Salsa

• 2 Cans Ro-tel Tomatoes, original (you can vary the heat by combining mild or hot), drained
• 1/2 onion (I used purple in the picture above), cut into chunks
• 1 handful Cilantro (mostly leaves, but a bit of stems too)
• 1t salt
• 1-2t minced garlic
• few grinds fresh black pepper

Put the onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and garlic in a food processor or blender. Pulse til finely chopped. Add tomatoes. Pulse again til desired texture is acheived (we like ours on the not-so-chunky side). Serve with tacos, fresh tortillas & butter, mix into avocados for guacamole, chips, nachos, or my personal favorite, Wheat Thins (I know, but it’s SOO good!). You can use other brands of tomatoes with chiles, but nothing beats ro-tel!

*If you have ever been to Chevy’s Restaurant (or Anchos in Riverside CA), and you love their Salsa, try this, and add a drop of mesquite liquid smoke - it will be a dead ringer!
