So, my understanding is that there is a football game or something this weekend?
Nah, I’m just kidding. I know that this weekend is the Superbowl. That is the extent of my knowledge, though. My Dad wasn’t really into sports when I was a kid (other than boxing), and my hubby doesn’t do sports – at all. It’s not that I have anything against football, I’m just not very interested. Once I went to a game, and I think I was a cheerleader for my uncles’ team when I was about . . . 5? Maybe 7. I dunno. Anyhow, you see how involved I’ve been in the sport.
Actually, there is one other thing I know; people eat at Superbowl parties. So I thought maybe I’d get busy with some of my favorite appetizer-ish type recipes. That way you can take something new and good to your Superbowl party. We’re going to a bowling birthday party, so I’ll count on you guys to do this for me.
Here’s my first pick. Honestly, I discovered this dip a while ago when I was really sick with endometriosis. My doc told me I had IBS and that I wasn’t eating right. I darn near starved that year; that is, before they found an endometrioma the size of a small child’s head embedded directly over my gut (yeah, I got a new doctor). Anyhow, I was looking for a dip without any dairy products or egg yolks - no cheese, no yogurt, no sour cream, no milk, no mayo. Well. Not exactly a small order to fill. This is the recipe I found, and it’s darn good. Vegans unite! (disclaimer: I’m not a vegan, but I ate as one when I was really ill.)
