Creamy Zesty Sausage Dip

If there’s one truth I know, it’s that we should upgrade starter foods to main courses. This Creamy Zesty Sausage Dip is so good, my daughter did just that. Grab a fork y’all…

Have you ever felt like that? Like main courses seemed like a waste of time when you could easily make a buffet of starters? That’s me. And apparently, my daughter Sadie, too. She is definitely cut from the same cloth as me, which sometimes is extra fun now that she is almost a teen. 

I was going to make a funny about how there are no street drugs in this dip despite its addictive nature, but then I’d most definitely hear from someone who lacks a sense of humor. I’m kind of over that shit (<- oops another reason to get negative feedback), so I’ll refrain from using cuss words and making off color jokes. <<wink>>

Anyway, this dip might be one that feels familiar to you. It might be one you ate at a party back when GMOs were all the rage and poorly sourced dairy was everyone’s fave. And I finally dug in to make this one with a dairy free option, because while I love cow boob juice, I also know it’s not always the best choice. Luckily for us all, this was an easy fix, with a few options. 

While we’re on dips (which is where I’d like to live along with soups and tacos), did you try my Paleo Lasagna Dip? It’s also filled with all the goodness and should be a meal more often. I’m also working on a crab dip soon, because I’m all about the abundance mindset, ya heard?
