Super Bowl Six-Layer Dip

I’ve never been a big football fan, but for some strange reason, I’ve really gotten into it the past few weeks. And who have I been rooting for? None other than the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, they lost their playoff game this past Saturday, which means I don’t really care about watching the Super Bowl for the game itself, but I’ll be tuned in to the commercials and eating good food during the game. Enter this dip for game time diversion.


Everyone loves seven-layer dip, but it usually involves ground beef, which I am obviously not cool with. And I’m kind of over meat substitutes (Trader Joe’s soy chorizo, I’m looking at you), so I just left out the seventh layer and made this a six-layer dip. Blasphemy, I know, but it’s tasty, I swear, and you’ll never miss that seventh layer.

Tropical Dinner Part 3: Mango Papaya Salsa

The idea for this fruit salsa came to me along with that for the macadamia-crusted marinated tofu, as a similar fruit salsa was the accompaniment for the crusted yellowtail that was the inspiration for the tofu recipe. I just happened to have mangos and a papaya sitting in my fridge last week, so I decided that I would invite both of them to the party.
This salsa totally exceeded my expectations – it’s perfectly sweet, tart, savory, bright, and spicy all at once. You’ll have more than you need for the 4 servings that the rest of menu calls for, which is a good thing, because you’ll want to just eat it straight out of the bowl – it’s really that good!
