{Eat Your Veggies}


Why is it that when someone else prepares fresh vegetables they always look so much more appetizing than when I chop them myself?
Or is it just me?

Well...Aunt Peggy blew us away at our family Christmas party a few weeks ago with this:


So today I tried my best to copy it:

My friend, Norma, suggested putting the dip inside a pepper to make it even more fun!


Sometimes it's all about the presentation, folks.

Veggies are veggies, but when you take the time to make them look posh (that's a fancy word for fancy), they magically dissappear! 


sorry...I promise I won't imitate Fancy Nancy again...

    I think I just may use this to make myself eat more veggies, and snack healthier throughout the day! :) Who needs a party!? ;)
