Thank you. 

I’m letting everything sink in for a few days and figuring out the best place to start.

Until then, is it cool if we just talk about this black bean dip?

Because I hear there is this big game on Sunday.  Who’s playing?  Can someone clue me in?  Is this the day where there is also a puppy-bowl?  I’m sure I’ll be around the TV for some of the action, but you will most likely find me elbow-deep in this dip.

Along with piles of salty blue corn tortilla chips.

5 reasons you should make this simple black bean dip:

  1. You most likely have every single ingredient you need in your pantry.
  2. It takes 5 minutes to throw together.
  3. It’s a good excuse to eat a lot of tortilla chips.
  4. Packed with protein + fiber and also gluten-free + vegan.
  5. It’s versatile!  Use this as a spread in a taco or burrito or slather it on a veggie sandwich. 

Better make a double batch.  You’re not going to want to share.
