Feta-Walnut Dip

Feta-Walnut Dip isn't exactly a Saturday morning food ... but I went ahead and made it as I sipped on some green juice.

I started by toasting walnuts.

The walnuts went into the food processor with feta cheese.

Along with a clove of garlic, paprika, a little milk, and cayenne. I pulsed until everything was smooth.

You can almost see my jammy pant leg in that photo. Awesome!

I sprinkled some dried oregano on top and chilled the dip in the refrigerator for a bit. Then  I served the dip for lunch on a crispy baguette with bell pepper slivers. YUM! It's salty from the cheese and nutty from the walnuts. A delicious dip!

Wicked Garlic Dip

I made Wicked Garlic Dip as an appetizer on Thanksgiving Day. The ingredient list is simple: potatoes, garlic, mayonnaise, and salt. I boiled the potatoes and blended everything together in the food processor. Unfortunately, the dip was quite gummy; I think I let the concoction whirl around for too long. The flavor of the dip was intense, super extreme raw garlic flavor! A little too intense at times.

Baba Ganouj

Baba Ganouj is roasted eggplant dip! I roasted a whole eggplant, scraped out the inside, then food processed it with garlic, fresh lemon juice, tahini, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pita chips are the perfect vehicle for transporting garlicky goodness to mouth. Yum!
