Oh, tell me when you want me to stop doing these nutritional breakdowns--I just figure that people visiting a blog with "diet" in the title might wanna see it? I know you're not a calorie crazie and more just into the health, but yeah--again just let me know! Ok, so since its a dip let's say a serving is 1/3 of a cup? Calories: 37 Fat:1g Sodium:56mg(2.3%) Carbs:5g Protein:2g Yeah. That's right. Say you want a full cup of the stuff? That's just 110. Go wild!!! *knows what she's stuffing into her pita tomorrow.* Oh my goodness this looks gooooooood.

Ask me another day and I might tell you another one! And I am making the pea pesto this afternoon which I have been dying to repeat thanks Ricki but I don’t mind which one you pick – different people, different experiences and different days bring out differet favourites – the carrot dip is not my favourite because it wasn’t the recipe I thought it was (hence my uncertainty about my foodie intelligence) but I think my favourite dip today might be the smoky sweet potato and bean dip for creamy comfort food.

But thanks for the pep talk. . . will hold on (as I watch more snowflakes dancing outside my window. . . ) :( Romina, I feel the same way--love asparagus! Monika, At first, I read your comment as 28C--now THAT would be warm! Glad you're having a bit of a thaw. Choccoveredvegan, Glad you liked it! And thanks for the encouragement. (Oh, and it NEVER looked like goop--or I wouldn't have tried it!) Holler, I love the idea of potatoes with this. I think I'm going to have to try it over the Easter weekend! Karen, It is a fabulous combo. And please do come to that party--it will be a great excuse to throw one ;) Johanna, I like your analogy of clothes shopping! I guess I should have asked which dip you liked best before posting. So, which dip DO you like best? Lucy, The feeling is mutual. Hope your holiday is marvelous, too! (lots of plans for long walks in the woods over here) :) Courtney, Thanks for commiserating. Hope those 4-6 inches never arrive. . .we will have to cheer on spring together, too! simply.belinda, Thanks so much for your comment, and for visiting the blog! I guess being too hot can be just as annoying as too cold (esp. for your cute doggies). Vegan Noodle,

That sound so good--thanks for sharing! And I just got some asparagus today at the store--I think it was meant to be! And I feel you pain with the snow--we had a storm yesterday and we are supposed to get another big snow fall on Friday (4-6 inches)!! What?! Tomorrow is the first day of spring for heavens sake! Hopefully spring will come soon... Courtney (in MN) Oh yuuummmm…I am obsessed with dips! That sound so good–thanks for sharing!

Maybe when spring rolls around! Glad you liked the look of my spicy carrot bean dip - although not my favourite - sometimes I wonder if I do have the ability to taste a recipe but reading as I am often surprised but I guess I have some foodie intelligence as I am always sizing up recipes in the way you check out clothes in a store (sometimes when you try them on they fit and there are a few that look ridiculous!)
