Look over your shoulder, Hummus: there's a new dip in town.

Now, don't you worry, my precious hummus hasn't been completely replaced. But recently I've had my first exposure to salsa verde. I tried it first on Amy's organic black bean tamale frozen meal. I still have to let it sink in that I found a frozen dinner that I can walk in, purchase, heat up and eat. Homemade is still better, but sometimes convenience is a beautiful thing.

I then purchased some from Bonnie at B and B naturals. If you are in the N Raleigh/Wake Forest area, I highly recommend it. Her hummus is good too and I hear the naan is fantastic (not gf, and I'm not sure about its veganness). It's just not all that convenient for me to buy it from her. But by the time I finished the container I bought from her, I was hooked. Lo, and behold, there is a recipe for it in my trusty Veganomicon. And it's fantastic. I didn't change a thing. If you haven't had it yet, try it. It's good w/black beans. I love it on a taco salad or on pinto bean tacos. And it's fabulous with the chickpea pizza from my last post. Pretty soon I'll may just be eating it with a spoon.

If you haven't tried it yet and can't buy it from Bonnie, go get some tomatillos and make it...now!

Thanks :) I've just been in a bit of a rut lately with more working out and summer life.

I've thought about expanding my blog to not just be food related so that y'all don't think I've dropped off the face of the earth.
