White Bean Dip

Today I am thankful for YOU! Cheesy? Perhaps. But seriously. I started this blog about 5 or 6 weeks ago because people seemed to be enjoying the things I was eating for dinner. I never thought that in such a short time I would already be at 589 views!! Mind blowing! So thank you to all of you who read this faithfully, or you catch a dish every now and then or hey, thanks to you if this is the first time you've been here!! This is becoming a fun little hobby. And really for me, its kind of like a digital recipe book to go back to things I've made. Its just that all of you get to come here too.

Bonus: today you will learn a little more about me and my husband. Ahem. For us, life is...at the core, all about Christ. Our relationship is based with Him at the center. Al and I go to this really amazing home church. We meet at our pastors house each Sunday. We've been going for the past few years and couldn't have found more amazing people to fellowship with. Each week I usually try to whip up something to snack on. A few of us do. Its funny how one week we all bring sugar-loaded-desserts, the next crunchy-salty-snacks, and then the next we all cut up fruit. Ha! Remember the Apple Donuts, those were a huge hit there. Anyways, this is something I brought this past Sunday.

I am all about hummus. I make it all the time and we use it on everything. But a girl can use a break sometimes. Hence, a white bean dip. (I can hear the ooo's and ahh's now) This was born out of a simple concept...substitute what type of bean you are using normally. But then I had to experiment with the herbs. Result, a rosemary and thyme spread. I toasted up some thin slices of french bread to smother in the stuff. Delicious. Also, I made it in a hurry Sunday morning...so, umm, I hope I'm remembering all that went into it!!
