Everyday Mom's Meals: Wow Wee That's Good {A Review and Giveaway}

French Fries into ketchup. Celery in Blue Cheese Dressing. Prime Rib into Horseradish Cream. We are a family of dippers. If it can be dipped, and sometimes even if it can't, we will find a way! So when I found out I was going to be lucky enough to review Wow Wee Dipping Sauce, I knew it would fit right into our family!

A Louisiana original, Wow Wee Dipping sauce is most commonly used for dipping boiled crawfish, but can truly be used as an every day condiment. When I first discovered them on Facebook, I was super excited because of those two little words...boiled crawfish. See, they are one of Mr. Everyday's favorite things in the world, and he doesn't get to have them nearly as much as he would like, because they are very hard to find here in Northern Indiana. The Original sauce is tasty to say the least, but now they are making a Spicy version too, which only intrigued me more because my boys like it spicy! So having the option of a little extra heat or not is nice because mama can't take it like they can!

So next was deciding what to make to dip into this new sauce. Oh how I wish it could have been boiled crawfish. Mr. Everyday would have been so surprised. But alas, I had to think of something else. Then I remembered that we had an entire bag of something else he loves in the freezer...fresh caught catfish! In fact, catfish we had caught with our very own hands over this past summer in a family pond! I knew I had found a match made in heaven. Forget frozen fish sticks, these hand battered fish nuggets are something your kids will flip for. And I will be totally honest, while this sauce was perfect for this fish, I served steak fries alongside, and found myself dipping those into Wow Wee too! This sauce goes so well with everything from fish, to chicken to fries...your only limit is your imagination. It has a delicious, unique flavor, and even the spicy isn't too over powering. Alex said it was "just right" for his young palate. I also like the fact that while it has deep flavor, it's not overpowering and does not hide the flavor of whatever you are dipping into it. It still allows the flavor of the food to shine through. It only highlights and compliments!

Wow Wee can mainly be found in grocery stores in Central and Southern Louisiana; and you can also order online here. But don't worry, you aren't going to have to do that. Well, at least one of you isn't going to have to. The folks at Wow Wee have been kind enough to offer 2 bottles to one lucky winner! Just scroll down for the giveaway! Please pay it forward though. Visit them on Facebook, browse their site, and if you don't win, consider ordering some too!

I'm proud to say we are a family of dippers, and I'm so happy we have a new favorite in our fridge. Wow wee...it sure is good!
