M and I love dips, but rarely do appetizers. So, occasionally we make a dinner of a dip. Here's a new one we've tried that HAS to be a regular in the rotation. This is amazingly healthy and SO good. This was also a perfect Friday meal - easy to accommodate grocery list making, but also festive to celebrate the weekend. Yippee!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Herbs, peppers, feta
Time: 30 minutes
Make ahead: You could make this days in advance or even freeze it.
Reaction
J: "Dippity-doo!"
M: "This is too good to be lima beans."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
