Chip & Salsa Bowl in a Pinch

June 6, 2011

Company is coming and you are frantically throwing together some appetizers (I know this, because this was me on Saturday before having family over to celebrate my Dad’s birthday). You’d like to serve chips and salsa, but you forgot to pick up that nice bowl you saw at Home Sense. No worries — you can easily create a chip and salsa bowl on the fly using bowls you already have on hand!

Step 1: Find three bowls — small, medium and large.

Step 2: Turn the small bowl upside down and place it in the large bowl.

Step 3: Place the medium bowl on top of the small bowl.

Step 4: Fill the medium bowl with your salsa and place the chips around it.

Step 5: Cross that fancy chip and salsa bowl off your shopping list — because, really, you don’t need it anymore!

Thanks for dropping by The 236!

    What a smart idea! Using what you already have cuts down on eventual storage problems, too.

      Exactly! :)
      That’s why I love buying only white serving pieces. So versatile!

    I feel like you just slapped me upside the back of the head saying “duh”.

    Smart thinkin’ lady!

    So simple and so fabulous! You should make a photo collage for people to pin onto pinterest.

    This is so ridiculously easy I want to smack myself for looking at chips and salsa bowls. Thanks for the tip!
