A Cozy Fall Recipe

I like what October smells like.

As much as I love Love LOVE summertime, this is the time of year I am craving fall and everything it entails. Boots, scarves and warm snuggly sweaters.

Halloween.

Spicy warm apple cider.

Halloween.

Cooler temperatures and smoky scented evenings.

Halloween.

Comfort foods and my slow cooker having a permanent place on my counter. 

Halloween.

Vegan Caramelized Shallot Dip

We are still enjoying light and fresh flavors of the summer, but I am also beginning to make more comfort foods as well. Heavier, warmer, creamier, heartier.

Sometimes I am serving these contrasts side by side – when we had friends over recently, I served the heirloom tomato bruschetta alongside a creamy dip.

I love dip. Dippy dip dip. Here it goes down, down into my belly.

I have memories from childhood of those short squat tubs of dip, rare in our fridge but when they were there? I’d go dippin’ for sure! Usually after a grown up party or when Uncle Dudley would visit, there would be leftover onion dip and the perfect accompaniment – ruffled potato chips.

Ah.

My own grown up parties sometimes have crostini in place of those tasty ruffled chips – sometimes – just as often when this dip is served? You will find a large ruffled edge glass bowl of ruffled potato chips.

Yep. The ruffled edge glass bowl is the perfect serving container.
