Sweet or savory? That is the question?
Super bowl is right around the corner so are you team savory or team sweet? I won’t lie my favorite part of super bowl parties are the food and halftime show. Last years super bowl was just amazing especially with Queen Bey shutting the whole show down again. This year I want to show you that you can incorporate some healthy treats into the mix as well … it’s all about balance. Both of these dips use under 5 ingredients and is so easy to make! So are you team sweet or savory? For me, I have a killer sweet tooth so I’m going to have to say I’m team sweet. When I made these last weekend for a group of friends it was a tie, and that’s fine because these dips are just that good that it’s hard to pick one so just make both and enjoy 🙂
First up is this amazing easy white bean dip. This calls for 5 ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry. This can be served with carrots, pita bread, or pretzels.

Did I eat a whole spoonful of this dip? I may have… but it’s just that good. Take a look at the ingredients, I am a lover of e v e r y t h i n g peanut butter, and Oreos are everyone’s favorite. If you haven’t had any speculoos butter, do yourself a favor and just go to trader Joes now. So what Exactly is cookie butter? Cookie Butter according to traderjoes.com is, in the most simplistic terms, spreadable Speculoos cookies. Speculoos cookies are classic Belgian cookies with great crunch, and a slightly caramelized, almost-but-not-quite-gingerbread flavor. After the cookies are baked to a fabulous finish, they’re crushed and mixed with vegetable oils and turned into a spread. It resembles peanut butter in color and spreadability aka heaven on a spoon!
This week’s playlist features some of my favorite songs off of albums that just came out this week. Kehlani & Migos both came out with albums this past week and have both been on repeat. Mixed with some of my favorites as well. Hope you enjoy my current jams for the week…
