TAKE A BITE: 4 INGREDIENT DILL DIP

Summertime means picnic time, amiright?

Our standard picnic fare is cheese + crackers, fruit, and veggies + dip or hummus. I know, I know, nothing exciting- but it's all easy and quick. 

Since the veggie dips you buy from the store have about 20 ingredients and plenty of preservatives, I decided to make my own!

What you'll need to make it happen:

- 8oz Sour Cream

- 2 tsp garlic powder

- 1/2 tsp salt

- Fresh Dill (2 Tbsp, chopped)

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Mix all ingredients together & let sit for at least 2 hours.

Step 2: Enjoy!

So easy. So good. 

Also, fresh dill smells amazing.

Also x2: Broccoli smells pretty gross.

What's your go-to food for picnics?

CROCKPOT SPINACH DIP (so. so. good.)

This recipe will make you popular. Yup. Not empty promises, my friends, it really will.

It's that good.

Ask the friends I made it for at the last Packer game. Ask my coworkers from the last potluck.

They'll agree.

All you need it a crockpot. WAIT. If you don't have a crockpot, you CAN make this in the microwave- but I can't promise it will be this easy or clean!

 What you'll need to make it happen:

- 8oz cream cheese

- 8 oz sour cream

- 10 oz frozen spinach

- 4 large cloves garlic, pressed/minced

- 1 1/2 cups shredded parmesan/mozzarella blend cheese (or just use parm. either way.)

-  2 tsps paprika

-1 Tbsp olive oil

- 1/2 tsp cayenne optional

**also: you will note there are no artichokes in this dish. it's not because i hate them, or that i'm trying to be original, i just happen to like this recipe without them. by all means, add artichokes as necessary!**

How to make it happen:

Hold onto your hats, it's going to be a wild ride:

Step 1: Defrost your spinach in the microwave.

Step 2: Put all your ingredients into the crockpot. Yup. All of it. 

Step 3: Put crock on high for 1 1/2 hours or until bubbling. Enjoy with crackers, chips, or whatever.

Rough, right? That's the beauty of crockpots! 

 So creamy. So delicious.
