Has anyone ever taken a hard fall, smack onto the tailbone and injured/fractured it?  I did just that this weekend.  I was standing on top of my kitchen counter and fell straight backwards, my backside landing smack dab on the hardwood floors.  I never knew tailbone injury means such excruciating pain.

At least I can still type.  While sitting on my donut-cushion.  Guess those aren’t just for post-baby-birth.

I think it’s safe to say I’ll (probably) never stand on the countertop again.  In my head, I somehow think I’m still that nimble little monkey-bar-climbing girl.  Uh, reality check.  Reality can be painful sometimes.

Thankfully, I have a few Game Day goodies I recently made and ate (with friends, of course!) prior to The Fall…

Let’s talk chips ‘n dip.  Specifically, this unforgettable 7-Layer Mexican Dip that is out of this world.

This dip is a marvelous symphony of layers…refried beans, browned beef, guacamole, seasoned sour cream, veggies, and lots of cheese.  It’s perfection in one big platter.  People are more than happy to grab a huge spoon and shovel plenty of dip onto their plates.

Many 7-layer dips don’t necessarily include browned ground beef, but I love the flavor and gusto of ground beef with taco seasoning.  It’s like eating tacos, but in dip form.  Guess this could have also been called a Taco Dip.

Whatever you want to call it, it’s undeniably mouthwatering and delicious!

Game Day, SuperBowl, or any day get-togethers…make this and watch it disappear.  Be sure to have plenty of good corn chips laying around!

Enjoy!

  Thanks so much for the dip recipes! I hate to admit it but I can totally pig out and fill up on a good dip recipe with chips or crispy baguette slices!
  I too broke my butt a few years ago while salt water fishing. Had a big King Mac on the line and was on the side of the boat reeling, went to step backwards onto the food cooler to get to the bottom of the boat and my (now ex) husband had left the lid open on the cooler! I fell backwards hard & broke my tail bone but did reel in the fish all while saying a few expletives! It’s a pain like no other and still gives me fits today (sorry to tell you that)!
  Hang in there and keep the recipes coming! I really enjoy your blog! Have a great weekend!

    This recipe looks yummy, I’m making it this weekend. Also this past weekend, I also fell in the kitchen. I can barely sit down or standup. My tailbone is killing me

  Years ago while playing in a softball game I slipped on the wet grass and ended up falling backwards and landing on my tail bone while in the sitting up position. It knocked me out for a couple of seconds and I was just sitting there in the grass. People thought that since I was sitting up that I was OK, but I wasn’t getting up. Doctor said I “bruised” my coccyx. After a month I went back for more x-rays, I couldn’t believe the pain and how uncomfortable it was. So I sympathize with you. Just give it a while to heal (years), take the pillow where ever you go and sit sideways in all chairs and cross your legs like a lady (to keep pressure off your butt). Hopefully this will work for you too. Good Luck
  Oh, and I will let you know how my dip turned out.

  So sorry to hear about your fall!! I hope that you’re feeling better soon. We take our everyday actions for granted, don’t we? That the simple act of sitting down (an act that is supposed to give us rest) can bring you such pain, makes me feel so bad for you.

  The dips are fabulous… Dips and Prudy are so dangerous together…I have no willpower when it comes to them, and pretty much succumb to my weakness when they’re around!! Yum.. 🙂

  Oh so sorry about your fall! I had a similar injury snowboarding… so sad! Never knew it could hurt so bad to sit. Hope you recovery quickly so you can keep up with your boys. Love the recipe!

    Thanks for the well wishes, Julie! I can’t believe I never hurt myself like that all the times I went snowboarding — and instead, I break my behind falling off a kitchen counter! The irony. Thanks for coming by today and bringing your kind words with you! 🙂

  I love that someone like me, who may have to work until 3 on Sunday, could still put this together and enjoy it by 3:30 kickoff. We are totally stealing the black bean avocado salsa idea, incidentally.
