Welcome to
"A Little Birdie Told Me..." Tuesday!
If you're here to share a craft, recipe or project post,
you'll find the linky and the specifics on how to
join the party after the features below.
------------------------------------------------
Last week's party was incredible!
So many new friends
So much returning talent!
Thank you!
------------------------------------------------
Some would argue that it's simply not a party without some chips and a good dip and this is a party, right? So, this week I'm highlighting three fantastic dips and a recipe for homemade BBQ Potato Chips. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------
Let's start with the CHIPS


These Homemade Barbecue Chips
from Shugary Sweets
get a special somethin' something'
from bacon salt and a touch of brown sugar:
a power duo like Ponch & John. Tee hee!
------------------------------------------------
And now, the DIPS
Unless you're living in an area where Avocados are plentiful,
they can be costly. Jessica of O. Alouette has a clever
culinary trick for extending the guacamole goodness
without compromising taste.
What's her secret?
You'll have to visit HERE to find out.
------------------------------------------------
When it comes to party dips, there are so many choices!

Hummus? Salsa? Guac? Can't decide?
This Spicy Hummus Avocado Dip
from LaForce Be With You
has it all!
------------------------------------------------
Avocado not your thing?

Try the Red Lentil & Feta Dip
from Hungry Homebody
