Hi everyone – it has been a heck of a long couple of days for me at work. I did make it to an actual yoga class for Tuesday night yoga tonight, so I am happy about that, especially since my visit to the ER last month, Tuesday night yoga had involved a lot of savasana and/or child’s pose and not much else. I have a post brewing about fear and yoga but that’s not happening tonight. Instead, let’s talk about crackers and dip. I love crackers and dip on days where work is the kind of hectic where you can’t take a break to eat. My usual solution is hummus but today I put the hemp seeds from my package of IHerb goodies to good use:
I made Averie’s Cheezy Hemp Nacho Dip. It is absolutely delicious. I had it with some Mary’s Gone Crackers for my snack at 5pm, and it really made my day better, especially since I had just had some crackers with hummus for lunch and was starving by 5pm and still had a couple more hours of work before going to yoga at 8.45pm.. Averie has suggested trying it with cashews instead of hemp seeds, so I may do that next time, though I have to admit I am really partial already to hemp seeds. This is a lovely dip in that it tastes rich but does not feel heavy,which is a great combination. Also, Averie is having a giveaway for a TofuXpress gizmo. Ok, it’s not a gizmo, but my brain is a little fried. If you are sick of using paper towels and/or dishtowels to press your tofu, you should definitely check out the giveaway. On that note, I am off to finish slurping on my green smoothie and to sleep. Good night!

Valerie! hi! Thanks for posting about the cheezy hemp dip.

it's just a little bit different and really awesome…trust me, you will love it!
also if you make my kale chip coating, you can use that as a dip..it's what happens when you use cashews as a base rather than seeds.
