Chips and salsa… one of my favorite snacking combos! Perfect for a pigging out treat and couch potato day. Are chips and salsa your pig out food too? Or do you snack on something different? Tell me! Tell me! Here’s my chips and salsa ritual when it’s pigging out time.
Grab a bottle of salsa. This is one of my favorite brands. I’d also recommend Bravo’s Pepperonata sauce as a chips dip. Mmmmm!
Nachos, Doritos, Mr. Chips, Nova… whatever chip choice you desire is fine with me! I prefer Tostitos AND Granny Goose Tortillas.
Place some chips in a microwaveable bowl, then top with salsa.
Cheese makes your salsa dip creamier. I think I put too much though! My dip ended up a tad too salty. I’ll use maybe just 1 slice of cheese next time.
Stick it in the microwave for about a minute and a half. Make sure to cover it with a paper towel to guard against salsa splatters!
Mix the salsa and the cheese, munch on the hot and crunchy chips, grab that soda and get settled in front of the TV… time to catch up on those seasons of Entourage!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

January 29, 2007 at 7:40 pm (17 years ago)tortilla chips are my favorite junk food at the moment! i sprinkle them with cheese, put them in the oven til the cheese melts, and eat them with or without salsa. i like home-made ones, with tomato, spring onions and mango bits the best, but katamad to chop! hehe…
ey, sidney, this is gulay: corn chips, and the salsa is tomato based naman, hehe

I also love Nova, Tortillos and various potato chips. Recently I’ve been eating a lot of those Oishi garlic bread.

January 30, 2007 at 3:16 am (17 years ago)I recently discovered pepper jelly and cream cheese. Mix them and it’s awesome! I eat them with Wheat Thins. another thing that’s good with cream cheese is this pepper & onion relish from Harry & David. OH man, I’m hungry just thinking about it.

No wonder our living room smells of popcorn butter which have stuck to the walls. 😀

January 31, 2007 at 5:46 pm (17 years ago)Ay, that does look yummy! I try not to use the microwave too much though, because my Tita recently got a tumor in her stomach (she was so bloated that she looked like she was 5 months pregnant) and had to get it removed AND undergo chemo treatments. She did research and it seems microwave radiation. She lives alone so for convenience she gets a lot of takeout and heats them out in the microwave. Now praning ako about using the microwave, especially for Annika’s food

We tend to stay away from it unless there’s parties in the house and for sure lagi may Tostitos with salsa. I like that one in your photo as well. Although I like the mild one with lots of corn and beans pati. Sweet tasting kasi.
