GLUTEN FREE ARTICHOKE DIP AND CRUNCHMASTER CRACKERS!
I’m really pumped about Christmas this weekend. I live in Queens, NY. But this week, I’m in south Texas with my family and I love it!! And my sister-n-law suggested we have an “all gluten free” meal for Christmas. This kindness honestly made me tear up. On a daily basis, I don’t expect others to eat gluten fre
e with me, just respect the fact that I do. Anyway, it’s really sweet and I’m thankful for it. I know how anxious a holiday can be. I know what it’s like to not want to be the “weird one” that eats gluten free or start to sweat as “normal” people stare at you, wondering “what in the world do you eat, honey?” lol. I know that many of you have incredibly supportive families, and many of you don’t. So, for those who don’t- please let me give you a cyber hug! You are not alone, hang in there and stay strong in your need to take care of your body, okay?
So, in light of this Sunday, mom and I made a gluten free artichoke dip to have with my favorite Crunchmaster crackers. This is dip SUPER easy, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free and made with some zest! The pepper jack cheese gives it a great kick. I’m rocking it with Crunchmaster crackers because these crackers are not only really yummy, but they are PERFECT for dips. My precious gluten eating family won’t notice they are gluten free. Plus, my hubby, who is a tough critic, really digs these crackers too. So…it fabu-licious all the way around. 
Ingredients:
1) Crunchmaster Original Crackers
2) 14 ounces of extra small Artichoke hearts
3) One packet, Good Seasons Italian mix
