Happy Monday! To remind, you can leave comments or questions on this thread. Scroll to the bottom to see where. I was invited to a friend’s house over the weekend for Rosh Hashana dinner and she asked me to bring some light hors d’oeuvres. A cheese board always looks impressive and it’s relatively simple to put together, but it can be easy to fill up on cheese and crackers before dinner. I’ve been serving a lot of dips with drinks before dinner. Most of the time, they can be prepped the day before and served with both crackers or chips or raw vegetables, which is great if you don’t want to overdo it. Here are some of my favorites and some presentation tips:
Personally I can make a full meal out of dips; it's probably one of my favorite meals. And your black bean dip with sweet potato coins is one of my ALL time favorites, and go to. Every time I make that dip I get such positive feedback. I've saved some of your dip recs on Pinterest - thanks!
I love when you share dip recipes! I host mahjong every couple of months and love to have new things to make. As someone gluten free, my favorite crackers are the Blue Diamond Nut Thins, with Pecan being my top choice. I also really like the Mary’s Gone Crackers Super Seed version. They feel very fancy. Finally, the Siete tortillas are wonderful for those of us allergic to wheat AND corn! I can finally enjoy pico de gallo again!
I made your Hatch Chili Dip. Fantastic! Everyone raved about it, and Hubby couldn't get enough. I had forgotten about Pinzimonio, my Italian father loved it, he didn't use vinegar though, just salt and pepper-personally I like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes. FYI; Enzo's Table makes an organic olive oil with fresh crushed fresno chili that I like quite a bit.
Wow great ideas. Pamela you’re the best👍! Now will have to invite some friends over 😊. Question: any general guidelines re: how many of these would you prepare for four people if we’re serving just dips and cocktails/wine or before serving dinner? Thanks!

Hi! I went into the Thrive market link to sign up, but the offer is only for 30% off not 40%? Is there an alternative link we could use?
