Tasty Dip
I’ve been trying to find foods our daughter will eat which is sometimes challenging. She’s a picky eater and doesn’t eat any vegetables …. ohhhhhhhhhhhhh man.
I am across this dip back in January from the Daily Garnish and thought I would try it out. Well, it’s taken me weeks to finally get the items for the recipe, and list isn’t long … crazy eh! Grocery shopping with a toddler isn’t always fun so I’ve been doing small runs here and there after work or on my lunch break. Today, I took Lilly grocery shopping and it wasn’t bad because it wasn’t busy and we were in and out in no time. Not to mention she always makes a few new friends while out and about.
“Cheesy” Black Bean Dip from Daily Garnish:
- 1 can tri-bean blend (kidney, pinto, black) * I made the mistake of getting chic peas, kidney etc – I’ll stick to her recommendation of kidney, pinto and black beans next time.)
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt *I used sea salt as that’s all I have.
- tortilla chips
- I also added 1 teaspoon of ground flax-seed – I had this to everything.
Instructions:
1. Rinse and drain beans.
2. Put all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth!!!!!!!
3. All done – eat with tortilla chips.
Yum Yum!
My only food critic at the moment is Lilly. She tried it and came back for more!!! Success … at least for today! This was such an easy dip to make, so tasty and VEGAN!!! I know my husband is going to love it.
This is tasty Mom!
She is adorable!
Thanks!
One trick that sometimes works for us is to pretend that certain dishes are *just* for mommy and daddy, and we’re doing them a huge favor by letting them try it. If I can get them to ask for it, I can usually count on them liking it.
That’s a great idea. Thanks.
She likes to eat from our plates sometimes so maybe i’ll try that approach.
That sounds great! Definitely going to try it! We have been making cauliflower popcorn at our house: cauliflower tossed with a little olive oil and some seasonings and then baked. My three year old and almost two year old love it!
Thanks for the great recipe idea!
Cauliflower popcorn – that sounds interesting. I’ll have to try that one!
What a great idea!
