Plano 1150 Tackle Box

Just got this on sale at Bass Pro Shop for 14.97 and plan on migrating all my pan-fishing tackle over to it. I love the compartment sizes and it is lightweight. This should ease my carry load some and eliminate me from toting around a few of my other smaller tackle boxes that store all my panfish gear.

 

 

 

 

  • Adjustable storage area features up to 46 wormproof compartments
  • Up to 25 adjustable spaces in top section
  • Long compartments
  • See-thru DuraView lid

Buffalo Turkey Dip

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked turkey breast, diced or shredded in very small pieces
8 ounces Ranch dressing
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces shredded cheddar
3 celery stalks, chopped fine
¼ cup onion, chopped fine
6 ounces hot or Buffalo sauce
loaf of crusty bread or crackers

Directions:

Soften the cream cheese then mix all ingredients well. Let stand in refrigerator for an hour or more (can be made the night before), then bring up to room temperature to serve. Cut thin slices of a crusty bread, long and not very big around. Serve the dip on bread rounds or crackers.

Lucky Charms No-Bake Ice Box Cake

Ingredients:

4 cups Lucky Charms Cereal
8 Tbsp butter, melted
2½ cups Lucky Charms marshmallows, divided
1½ cups marshmallow fluff
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Add 4 cups cereal to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until your mixture is crumbs. Slowly pour butter in through the feed tube. Pulse until combined and crumbs are moistened.

Pour crumbs into a 9” pie plate and press mixture on the bottom and around the sides to form pie crust. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

In a tall bowl whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until you can start to see a defined trail through the cream. Slowly add powdered sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. (In other words when you turn off the blender and lift the beaters out of the cream, the cream stand up on the end of the beater). Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

To prepare the filling: Combine cream cheese and marshmallow fluff in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Fold in ½ of the whipped cream and ½ cup Lucky Charms marshmallows until completely incorporated. Pour into chilled pie crust. Smooth with a spatula. Pour remaining whipped cream over top. Sprinkle remaining marshmallows around the edge of the pie. Freeze overnight if desired, refrigerate until ready to serve or serve immediately. Enjoy!
