I have to be honest, I had a completely different post planned for today but... it just didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. Thankfully, I always have a plan b, c, d, e...
I'm a planner. What can I say?
My desk and home are full of lists, sticky notes, and note pads to keep me organized and as on top of things as I can be. I've even been told that my organization skills can even be a little... intimidating...
Read MoreYou know... the term '7 layer dip' always confused me as... I've never actually seen a 7 layer dip with exactly 7 layers. Seriously. Think about it...
Mind boggling, I know.
In any case, this is my healthified take in the traditional party staple dip.

It's one of those things that is so spicy that it's almost hard to eat, but tastes so amazing that you can't help but indulge...
Read MoreMm... this sauce is thick, rich, and very hearty with bold pieces of sautéed onion and garlic littered through it. It's absolutely perfect for dipping, but would be just as amazing atop some 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough, or in any other place that you would use a typical pizza sauce...
Read MoreThis is a super simple summer dish that's light, full of flavor, and comes together in all of 15 minutes! There is barely any cooking required. I promise!
Don't be scared. I realize that the tomatoes in this are not cooked. I think that's what keeps this dish so fresh and perfect for summer! Of course, the lemon and fresh basil don't hurt...
