The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Here's to a healthy year!

About this time every year, I begin my quest into a healthy new year.  Yes, it's delayed about 4 months to wait for the fresh ingredients that you cannot get at a decent price in the winter.

This year, I stumbled upon a new dip that seems to be good for a lot of different uses.  My mom made a variety similar to this when we were kids.

Mom's Veggie Dip
2 C un-flavored yogurt (you can use Greek yogurt too!)
1 package of Good Season Italian (there are now many flavors; my favorite is Herb and Garlic)
2 T sour cream

Mix all together and chill for at least 2 hours.  This can be used from filling celery sticks to a salad topper.
