Kale and Artichoke Dip
We all have a spinach artichoke dip in our recipe box but do you have a Kale and Artichoke dip recipe??? Probably not. Both kale and spinach are superfoods packed with vitamins and nutrients, but in the green and leafy nutritional boxing ring who comes out the winner? It's actually kale. Kale is packed with more vitamins and nutrients than spinach.   This Kale and Artichoke Dip is a cheesy twist on the spinach and artichoke class... Read More

Jalapeño and Bacon Popper Dip
Jalapeño poppers are all the rage these days and no, I don’t mean the deep-fried variety. I mean the variety where an entire jalapeño is stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked or grilled. Those are popular for a good reason: they are delicious. They also happen to be a bit of a pain in the you-know-what to make. Luckily, with my Jalapeno Bacon Popper Dip, you get all of the same flavors with a tenth of the work. You reall... Read More

Sweet ‘n Spicy Cranberry-Jalapeño Cream Cheese Dip
When I dip you dip we dip! You know what’s better than decking the halls, singing Christmas carols, drinking hot cocoa with mini marshmallows in it and watching “A Christmas Story” 100 times in a row during the holiday season? Decking the halls, singing Christmas carols, drinking hot cocoa with mini marshmallows in it and watching “A Christmas Story” 100 times in a row, while snacking on this scrumdiddlyumptious Cranberry Jalapeño...

Dreamy Cookies and Cream Dip
There’s not much that’s better than a chocolate sandwich cookie. They’re practically a rite of passage for kids. And adults. Twist and eat the cream first? Dunk in a glass of milk? There are many ways to break into a sandwich cookie. In fact, people have serious rules for eating their cookies. But rules are made to be broken.... and I’m about to break those rules by making a fluffy Cookies and Cream Dip! The ingredients have a common... Read More
Chip Dip Jack-O’-Lantern Style
Well, wouldn’t you know it? October is upon us (how did it sneak up so fast?) and that means one thing to me… pumpkins! We are headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend. I like to keep some whole and decorate with them for all of October and November.  Of course, I like to carve a few into jack-o'-lanterns. You know a great way to make pumpkin carving more fun is to have a pumpkin carving party. You could serve pumpkin treats and cider, b... Read More
Score! Easy Game Day Pizza Dip
Football is right around the corner and I can’t wait. Not for the sports action, but for the food! I love all things food related to football – from full out tailgating to just sitting in front of the TV at home, snacking on dips. Oh, how I love me the dips! And the easier the dip is to make, the better! Enter Progresso Recipe Starters to my rescue. I tried the Fire Roasted Tomato flavor to make a super Easy Pizza Dip that the kiddos went... Read More
Easy Peasy Cheesy Pizza Dip
I have only two cocktail party rules. Rule Number 1: There must be food that is nibble-y, but also substantial. Rule Number 2: A girl in a fabulous cocktail dress must be able to fearlessly consume all food items referenced in Rule Number 1. The key word there is “fearless.” For me, any dip item automatically enters a danger zone. So when I decided to serve White Pizza Dip at a recent event, my first thought was, “Oh, that sounds so...

Hummus = Yummus!

Hummus = Yummus!
I think my body is made up of 25% hummus. Considering I eat it at least once a day, I think that 25% is a fair guess. I discovered hummus in college at the salad bar, and I’ve never looked back. I take hummus to work, put it in my salad, bring it to a party; I pretty much take it wherever I go. It’s an incredibly versatile food made primarily of chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. The fact that it’s also healthy is just icing on th... Read More
I Dip. U Dip. Taco Dip!
I am mad for a Layered Taco Dip. Always have been.  Always will be.  Everyone is, in one iteration or another.  The dip’s versatility is the reason that I didn’t preface it with “7 layer” or “5 layer”.  At my house, taco dip components vary wildly based on what’s in the cupboard, and what people like (or can’t eat).  Aunt Betty allergic to avocados?  No problem, leave off the guacamole.  Out of salsa?  Chopped tomatoes it...
