When I go to a party I try to bring amazoids gluten-free snacks and leave my piss poor attitude at home. After all, I’m a fun gal. Are you heading out to a shingdig this weekend? A par-tay? A good time? I certainly hope you are, but even if you aren’t, you will require snacks in the next few days, right?
Just last weekend I was invited to a birthday party that involved a Family Feud tournament and cleverly named cocktails (Regis Phil-Gin & Tonic, anyone?) and I came armed with food to soak up the gluten-free booze I was about to consume. But the goal is not only to have porous snacks in your gut, but to also impress others with gluten-free deliciousness. Which is why I busted out my gluten-free peanut butter pretzel buckeyes and my all-time favorite lemon ricotta basil cheese dip with the best damn gluten-free bagel chips you’ll ever eat. In fact, I’ll even go out on a limb and declare gluten-free bagel chips better than those gluten-filled types.
That’s right, I said it.
Here’s what you should shovel onto those bchips.

Love the dip recipe! Maybe my picky kid will even like it, which would be helpful to my life. And I agree about the bagel chips! Glutino brand, right? I nearly freaked out at a family function when they put them out in front of my daughter until I saw the package.

Yes! Glutino. I meant to add the link, but seems I forgot. They are super delish.
That dip sounds amazing! I must make it.
