Win a Frito-Lay Backyard Party Fan Pack

A package of goodies arrived at my doorstep just in time for summer festivities! With 6 active and involved boys, our backyard can seem like party central with kids (and grown-ups) coming over to jump on the trampoline, bat in the batting cage, or just coming over to hang out.  But, when they all come over, I need to make sure we have some goodies to eat.  Luckily Frito Lay brands have some amazing goodies like the ones pictured below for making your backyard party central.

 

 The barbeque dip is to die for by the way! It has real pieces of beef inside - yum!

In addition to the yummy chips and dips, their chefs have prepared some great recipes for backyard entertaining. Just click on the pictures for the yummy recipes!

Frito-Lay Flavor Kitchen Chef Jody will be sharing tips and recipes during a Facebook Fan Chat.  The chat will take place on the Frito-Lay Facebook Page on June 25 from 8 – 9 p.m. ET! They will be giving away fun prizes all night long, so don’t miss your chance to win!

 

The folks at Frito Lay have also offered to give one of my lucky readers the same pack they sent me!

Tastes from Home with Frito-Lay recipe Contest & Giveaway

Lays has a new line of potato chips that were  inspired by popular American regional cuisine and include:


1. Northeastern U.S. – Lay’s Honey Mustard
2. Midwestern U.S. – Lay’s Creamy Garden Ranch
3. Northwestern U.S. – Lay’s Balsamic Sweet Onion
4. Southwestern U.S. – Lay’s Chipotle Ranch
5. Southeastern U.S. – Lay’s Cajun Herb & Spice


All of the Lay's Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients and cooked in healthier oils, like corn and sunflower oils, which contain 80% or more of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat - the "good fats." They also contain 0 grams of trans fats per serving!

There’s also less sodium in them than you might think – a 1-oz serving of our Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips contains less salt than a plain bagel!

I can't wait to try the Lay’s Honey Mustard and the  Lay’s Creamy Garden Ranch!

I live in the Northwestern region of the United States which inspired the Lay’s Balsamic Sweet Onion flavor.  I actually think this is super appropriate because one of our regions most loved festivities is the rib cook-off where you can also partake in yummy beer battered onion rings made with sweet onions.  Not content with enjoying these yummy onion rings only once a year, my hubby and I were bound and determined to recreate our own version at home.  Here is our recipe:

Beer-Battered Onion Rings

Ingredients:

Onions


1-1/2 cups flour


1-1/2 cups beer,  room temperature


2 large Sweet onions


oil for deep frying

Directions:

1. To prepare the batter for the onion rings, thoroughly whisk together flour and beer. Let batter stand, covered, at room temperature for at least 3 hours.

2. Slice onions 1/4-inch thick. Separate into rings.

3. Pour oil into a large frying pan about 3 inches deep.  Heat.

4. With metal tongs, dip a few onion rings into batter, then carefully put them into the hot oil.

5. Fry, turning the rings a couple of times until golden brown. Remove from oil.
