Bacon-Blue Cheese Dip Recipe

There are two camps when it comes to Thanksgiving. The first is the starvation camp where one believes that you should eat nothing until the mashed potatoes hit the table, saving as much room as possible to gorge yourself at dinner time. These people also prefer to eat “dinner” at two in the afternoon, which in my opinion is cheating a little bit—if you are going to starve yourself, you should have to wait all day.

The second is a fan of the Thanksgiving hors d’oeuvres table and sees this as a day free of restrictions that would otherwise limit you to consuming what society deems appropriate. I am firmly grounded in this camp. I love Thanksgiving and it’s devil-may-care attitude and I most definitely like to nibble and sip from sunup to way past sundown.

The original recipe for this dip had diced avocado folded into the mix, which gives it more of a Cobb salad feel. The avocados at my grocery store were more volcanic rock than velveteen so I did without.

    Do you live in my head? I ask because I’ve made this several times (omitting the avocado for the same reason) but never blogged about it 🙂 So incredibly addicting – yum!
