Award Dipping Onion Dip

This is it. This is the last post written in Kansas City. This time next week I’ll be somewhere on I-70 driving east – well, weather permitting. So you’ll have to excuse me for not posting next week. I know – I have some nerve.

But hey it’ll be okay. Once I’m settled in I’ll be back. I’ll even leave you with a new recipe – my version of Onion Dip. I mean who doesn’t love onion dip? It’s award season and while I’m a little late for the Grammy Awards, the Oscars are coming up! And you know what? This dip would taste great with Homemade Potato Chips– don’t ya think?

What? You say you’re not really into onion dip? Hmm, well okay. Maybe clam dip is more your thing. Want something a little more filling? How about making a thin crust pizza and topping it with your favorite toppings? Anyway you like it, any of this ideas would be a great addition to your award party spread or even if you’re just watching alone.

So I’ll spare you the nutrition talk this week. Why? Well, because quite frankly I’m up to my knees in packing and I want to get a move on! But guess what? March is National Nutrition Month so it will be a month packed with nutrition! I can hardly wait!

Do you have a favorite dish for your award watching party?
