I LOVE DIP.  It makes EVERYTHING better. 

Whether you’re enjoying a glass of wine with a group of girlfriend’s, relaxing at the cottage with your family, or curling up on the couch solo to watch an absurd number of Mad Men episodes, nothing compares.

There is no doubt…delicious, crispy, salty, tortilla chips, and creamy, satisfying, flavorful dip…is DEFINITELY my weakness.  I’m known in my friend circle as the Queen of Dips!  No matter what the occasion, my go-to hostess contribution is a delectable dip, served in my favorite turquoise bowl, accompanied by a bag of fresh tortilla chips. 

My ongoing efforts to shift my eating habits toward a healthier framework has sent me exploring for a handful of dips that won’t break the calorie bank, but still satisfy my  love for this indulgent treat, and please the lovely people around me.

Below, I have listed some of my favorite healthy dips and chip alternatives, with links to their recipes.  They are the perfect addition to any party, and in my case, portioned out into single servings, the perfect afternoon or evening snack.  Bon Appetit!
