It’s August, which is also known as the Saucy Dipper’s “Month O’ Fruit Salsas.” I already told you about a mango-cucumber salsa and today you get lots o’ strawberry-yellow pepper salsa goodness. Now, I’m not one to brag, especially since the following recipe isn’t really mine. I found inspiration on the Whole Foods website. However, I… Continue reading Strawberry and Yellow Pepper Fruit Salsa

Month O’ Fruit Salsas: Mango Cucumber
Most of the time I prefer a smooth dip over a salsa, but on a hot night not too long ago I got a hankering for a fruit salsa that couldn’t be denied. After some research, I decided on a mango-cucumber salsa. The freshness of the mango and cucumber was exactly what I wanted on… Continue reading Month O’ Fruit Salsas: Mango Cucumber
Aji Amarillo Chip Dip
This dip was truly an experiment. I read a few recipes for aji amarillo dip, yeah, but when it came time to produce, I just threw a bunch of ingredients together until I found a flavor I liked. I’m not sure what I expected. Something spicy? Something unique? Again, not sure. But what I got… Continue reading Aji Amarillo Chip Dip
Fava, Er, Lima Bean Dip
Do you know this saying? “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Of course you do. Well, I have a new saying. It goes like this…”When life hands you a set of beans that you’re not sure you like and definitely don’t appreciate the color of, make bean dip.” That’s what I did when I… Continue reading Fava, Er, Lima Bean Dip
A Traditional Pimento Cheese Dip
Who knew pimento cheese dip had such history? No, really. Who? All I knew was that I have long loved the crazy orange dip from the cheese aisle at the grocery store. When I researched pimento cheese dip recipes on the web, I learned that this grocery store dip is actually a faux pas to… Continue reading A Traditional Pimento Cheese Dip

Something about it just belongs in a dip. Today I’ve got two more peanut butter dip recipes. They may be super… Continue reading Peanut Butter Fruit Dips
I Made Shrimp Butter Because My Mom Told Me To
Is a spread a dip? I’ve debated more than once about what qualifies as a dip, a sauce, a spread, or a condiment. In my mind, they all may range in consistency and application, but the result is the same: combined flavors. One of the flavors is a vehicle in which to get the second… Continue reading I Made Shrimp Butter Because My Mom Told Me To
Your Kitchen Needs Blow Torch Excitement
A blow torch brings drama to the kitchen…in a good way. How else you can get that perfectly caramelized sugar in seconds flat? During my recent blow torch adventure I was a little hesitant at first. It seemed scary! But the truth is that once you master your flame, cooking with a blow torch is… Continue reading Your Kitchen Needs Blow Torch Excitement

Creamy Crab Dip Recipe
Chung, a friend of mine, has participated in all three Dipstocks. She’s what you call a real dip lover. For the spring Dipstock she confessed to making three dips–pumpkin dip, olive tapenade, and this creamy crab dip that she compares to GoldCoast crab dip. Don’t know what GoldCoast crab dip is? Me neither. I had to look… Continue reading Creamy Crab Dip Recipe
