Are you ready for some FOOTBALLLLLL FOOD?!? I am! Last night Tai and I were watching the game (Go Pats!) and I decided to throw together a Mexican dip. I had never made one before but knew what it had to be: Cheesy, creamy and meaty. The typical football messy appetizer. And you know what? It was a great little experiment so much so that I made him wait and took pictures of it first! I guess there are some downsides to dating a blogger, like having to wait for your Cheesy Mexican Dip. But hey, at least there was Cheesy Mexican Dip to begin with 😉

We are beyond thrilled with the Patriots this year. We can’t believe Brady is now the most winning quarterback in history! Does it feel weird to be such a big New England sports fan living in NYC? Yes, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.

This dip is prefect for your party, game, tailgate or any celebration that needs a delicious and cheesy dip. Honestly I’ll probably make this again soon as a “just because” meal because it was so easy and so good. But I’m biased, I love absolutely all Mexican food. From Chipotle to the hole in the wall place down the street from my apartment. ALL is delicious in my eyes.

    Plating it circular is a great idea! So that everyone can get at the sour cream… my favourite part!
