Roasted Garlic and Sriracha Cheese Dip
Roasted garlic and Sriracha are blended in to this cheese dip, perfect for dipping with your favorite pretzels.
When it comes to professional football, I always tell people that I have favorite players, not favorite teams. Peyton Manning and Drew Brees are my two favorites. So I always root for their teams. Hubby is a Giants fan, so I root for them too. I do, however, have some teams that I dislike. Such as the Patriots. I know we lived in Boston for ~7 years, but I just can’t root for the Pats.
With Hubby being a Giants fan, and me being a Peyton Manning fan, it makes a lot of sense. So I was really excited this weekend to watch the matchup of the Pats vs the Broncos. I won’t go in much detail here, but let’s just say I was happy to be a Manning fan on Sunday. While many of my friends back in Boston were bummed about a loss.
Since we knew that game would be a good one, we had some friends over and I whipped up some appetizers to enjoy. This dip caught my eye because, well, sriracha, cheese, and roasted garlic. Enough said. I served it with some Pretzel Crisps, and this would be great with homemade pretzel bites as well.
