So I know that it’s resolution time. The gym is full and there is lots of healthy eating going on. I definitely am back on the healthy eating train, but I also know that it’s NFL playoff time. That definitely calls for some awesome appetizers, so I have a few to share with you in the next couple weeks. This loaded baked potato dip is floating around the internet in lots of places, but I thought I would change it up a bit and add some ranch dressing mix and it took the flavor over the top! This dip is amazing and super addictive, perfect for any party! Oh and just to clarify, there aren’t any potatoes in this dip, it’s just all the things that normally top a loaded baked potato.

This is making my belly growl! I made a very similar version last year for a Superbowl party but it didn’t have the Ranch mix or hot sauce in it. I’ll bet that makes it even better.
🙂 I bet it’s good without them but the ranch definitely seemed to give a deeper more addictive flavor
Oh yum. . . appetizers are my FAV! Seriously, I could stand at the chip and dip station all night and skip everything else! 🙂
