I’m right with you girl! I completely agree that everything is packed into one month and it feels a little crazed, I definitely feel like I have indulged a little too much as well. I tried to be really good during the week just to gear up for the weekend festivities. I love the flavor profile in this dip, perfect for sharing! Thank you!

I’m with you on holiday parties! I need quiet time to recharge, so bouncing from one event to the next really wears me down! If I had a dip like this, I might be able to power through. 🙂
