Confession: Up until recently I hadn’t eaten many-an-endive. Sure, a couple times they made their way into a salad I ordered at a restaurant. A friend may have snuck them on a plate at a dinner party without me noticing.
But a few months back while on Twitter I met someone. I met @DiscoverEndive. Actually, I met Casey who works to help get the word out about endives. And that’s when things changed for me… (more…)
I’ve never been one for sporting events, yet I love to go to them. Better still, I love to go to parties focused on sports. No, it’s not the tight ends. Although, that’s nice. It’s the party dips. You probably could’ve guessed.
As a result of my love for football party dip a Super Bowl Dipstock only seems logical. So, here we are a few weeks from the Super Bowl and I’ve made Dipstock easier than ever. (more…)
That cute young thing you see there was born November 27. Maggie, who was aptly named the “Little Dipper” by Karen Harris over at Savoury Table, has slowed down the Saucy Dipper a bit. I used to post twice a week, then once a week, then every two weeks, and now…
My posting frequency may go down even more in the months to come, but never fear. I’m still here. Just a bit inconsistent.
However, I am making time for one of my favorite dip things. A Super Bowl Dipstock!
It’s been a really long time since we’ve had a Dipstock. Don’t you think it’s time? I do. So, get your datebooks out — February 5th is Super Bowl XLVI and the days leading up and the next few days after the Super Bowl will be dip recipe mania here.
Details will be posted to the Dipstock page soon.
Everything tastes better with sauce…and bacon. Right?
This little gem came to me in November while I was spending a crazy amount of time on the couch waiting for baby. Giada De Laurentiis on the Food Network made it. And it is GOOD. We’re talking restaurant quality here.
This picture is of me and my husband, Jason, in Singapore about three years ago. It has nothing to do with sauce or this post. Well, except for that fact that WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for visiting the Saucy Dipper and for leaving comments when you feel up to it.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Dips are essential to have on hand while entertaining for the holidays. They keep the snackers and lurkers from coming into the kitchen and getting their grubby hands on the turkey or casserole or pie you’re working so hard on.
In other words, a quick dip or two works as a diversion. Keep your sides and main dishes safe by thinking ahead with dip. (more…)
That’s why when I learned how stupid easy it is to make sour cream I just had to tell you about it. It’s the easiness that makes homemade sour cream so amazing.
It’s so easy that I think we should change the saying “easy as pie” to “easy as sour cream.” Seriously. Who is with me?
A whole chicken from the grocer costs less than four chicken breasts. Did you know that?
I didn’t know that, and I was pleasantly surprised when I bought a completely gutted and ready-to-go chicken for a batch of chicken soup I made recently.
I’m not crazy about canned chicken soup. In fact, I don’t like it at all. That’s why I normally use store-bought stock to make my soups.
But on this day I was feeling adventurous. On this day I wanted to boil Ms. Cockadoodledoo down to the bones instead. It was very rewarding to actually SEE the flavor floating in the stock.
