So apparently there’s going to be a big game on later today. \u00a0This is the first I’ve heard of it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The only reason I pay any modicum of attention to the game is for the ads and I think you can even preview them before the game now, so what’s the point? \u00a0Oh right, the snacks!<\/p>\n

I’m a big believer in snacking as you know. \u00a0Especially if it involves chips and something to dunk them into, like perhaps a dip.<\/p>\n

Well I may have come up with a few quick dips for today.<\/p>\n

This month’s challenge for the Stonyfield Clean Plate Club<\/a>\u00a0called for us to come up with some game day dip recipes using their yogurt and pairing them with Late July Organic<\/a> multigrain snack chips. \u00a0There’s nothing like coming home from work to a huge box full of chips. \u00a0That was definitely a happy day for me! \u00a0I’ll be doing a separate review and giveaway post soon, but I first wanted to share my dips with you!<\/p>\n

After lots of brainstorming, I couldn’t decide on any one particular dip. \u00a0So I figured why not do a yogurt dip sampling? \u00a0I ended up doing a trio of Southwest-inspired bean-based dips that each incorporated Stonyfield Organic Greek Yogurt<\/a>, as well as\u00a0a different type of bean and pepper: \u00a0Black Bean Chipotle Lime, Red Hot Chili Lime, and White Bean Jalapeno Lime. \u00a0Using Stonyfield Organic Greek Yogurt not only made the dips creamy but also cut the heat.\u00a0These were pretty easy to make and you could totally cheat and use black bean and\/or regular refried beans to make them even easier.<\/p>\n

The recipes below can be doubled, tripled, etc. to make the desired quantity of dip. \u00a0Feel free to adjust seasoning and yogurt amounts as needed to your taste. When making these I pretty much dumped in a little of this and little of that and adjusted until I liked the taste. The common ingredients in these recipes are the minced garlic, ground cumin, Greek yogurt, and lime juice.\u00a0I paired these dips with Late July Organic Summertime Blues and Sea Salt Seashore multigrain chips.<\/p>\n
