-closed- My Frito Lay Chip Dip Recipes and a $100 Gift Card Giveaway! *closed*

So the kind folks who work with Frito Lay's, asked if I'd like to come up with two healthier dip recipes and pair them with their chips! Chip and dips? Sure I'm in! I thought and thought and though, and decided on twisting one of my favorite dips up a little, it's super simple. I made Chive and Garlic Sour Cream Dip which also has cottage cheese in it! Now don't knock it till you try it! Even my kids loved this dip with Lay’s Original potato chips.  I also made a Hot Chicken Artichoke Jalapeño Dip to serve with Tostitos Scoops! tortilla chips. Mmm, it's great nice and hot and all cheesy out of the oven. That was my favorite! Using low fat or fat free ingredients will help cut the calories but won't sacrifice flavor and no one knew otherwise! Perfect for those parties coming up.

 most of my ingredients needed to make these two dips
