DIPS BASKETBALL NCAA Basketball – Healthy Game Day Dip Recipes

Skinny Dips!

If you are hunkered down on your couch today watching all the NCAA Basketball, Big 12, Big East Tournament action, you are probably devouring a few snacks along the way. And the best game day snacking to me is a nice spread of dips! Here are my favorite dip recipes to get you started.

But instead of chowing down on high calorie, fat-laden, cheese and cream dips, try a few of these healthier dip recipes instead. Like a “Cheesy” Spinach Dip Popeye would be proud of, a sunny flavorful Asparagus-Sunflower Dip – and my fave the Bold Butternut Squash Dip. Add a nice platter of veggies, fruit and crackers and game day is delish (and guilt-free!). ..I like to call it skinny dipping. Get my recipes…
