The One with the Dip
My family has never really cared much for sports (watching or playing), but boy, do we enjoy watching expensive commercials while munching on salty treats. When I was a child we would always go for the quick and easy store bought French onion dip with plain potato chips. Pairing this with different bologna, cheeses, and crackers created a salty bounty of yumminess. As my sisters and I got older and began exploring different culinary avenues than what our parents traditionally stuffed us with, we began crafting our own dips. One of my all time favorite dips is a spinach dip paired with bread or crackers. I prefer it cold with the crunch of water chestnuts and the tang of a vegetable soup mixture of dried seasonings. For a more sophisticated taste, I like to make a roasted red pepper dip. Once upon a time I stumbled upon the recipe in one of my first cookbooks. Hello, adulting. Ranch or veggie dips with carrots or salsa (sometimes sweet or spicy) have always been classics as well. Fresh fruit such as strawberries or pineapple dipped in a whipped topping always satisfies that pesky sweet tooth (not to mention a glass or two of wine).
