Questions:

1. Fave chips?

I’m going with Doritos!

And homemade raw vegan kale chips as a close second!  You can make them in the oven, too.

2. Fave dips?

This is hard because I love dips, sauces, dressingsI’ll take a little food along with the big bowl of dip.

Guac, spinach and artichoke dip, any kind of dips that you can bake and get sort of thick “top layer” on them, raw dips, cold dips, hummus, you name it, I really never met a dip I didn’t like.

But, easy on the added sodium, garlic, and onions.  Not a fan of those things.

3. Taking any trips or doing anything special this weekend?

No trips for me.  I am happily staying put for awhile.  I had a really crazy July and August was plenty busy, so I am glad to be hunkered down this weekend in San Diego.

Finding Some Calm, I hope.

And Finding Some Happy, as my friend Marla blogged about.

We’ll be avoiding the beaches, though, since the traffic and commotion on holiday weekends on the beaches here is just insane!

P.S. Here’s a link to my 4th of July Holiday Recipes Post in case you need any inspiration

    Ok, this is tough……Chips are my weakness…I love potato chips, but I also love doritos and pretzels. Of course I never eat the dang things, but in my mind or “perfect” world I would :)

    Happy Weekend!
    xxoo

  5. Cool Ranch Doritos definitely rock, but the best chips I’ve had in a long time are Food Should Taste Good chips the best flavor is The Works! and my next fave from them is Sweet Potato. Sooo good.

    Dips – I agree, too many awesome choices. How to pick just one or five for that matter? Love them all!

  6. Love all types of chips. They are my weakness.

    Dips – If I’m eating corn chips, I really like gauc & salsa.

    Happy weekend:)

  7. I’ll be going to Orlando, FL today!! my whole fam will be there. It’s my nephew’s 1st bday tomorrow!! so we’ll be there celebrating his bday at a resort and going to magic kingdom! yahooo!! have a lovely weekend!

  8. My favorites are by far homemade chips and salsa! Yummy! Put a basket of those in front of me, and they will have magically disappeared after a very short amount of time! ;)

  9. enjoy your at-home long weekend, averie!
    i’m not a fan of onions, either – keep them away! favourite chip is probably a corn chip, like fritos, and dip would be french onion dip with a regular ripples potato chip to dip in (haha, that totally contradicts my onion statement, above, doesn’t it?! – > ok, it’s the exception to the rule).
    i like to clean, organize, declutter on the labour day long weekend – it’s the kick-off to the fall season – like new years!
