Broccoli=healthy
Broccoli covered in cheese sauce=not healthy
Running=healthy
Never stretching after your run and then wondering why your right hip is always sore=not healthy and also stupid.
Short shorts with thigh high boots=never healthy and also white trash (which we saw a lot of at the Muddy Frogwater Festival in Milton-Freewater. Lucky for you I didn’t take a picture.)
Fruit=healthy
Fruit dipped in “old school” fruit dip (cream cheese and marshmallow cream whipped together)=not healthy
Fruit dipped in “new school” fruit dip=not too shabby!
I was in charge of dessert for family dinner. I knew the menu included mashed potatoes, corn and rolls to name a few. We needed light. We needed summery. And maybe, a little protein?
My strawberry cheesecake fruit dip was just the ticket. It has the typical attributes that I love:
1. Fast
2. Kinda healthy
3. Easy. In a non-short shorts kinda way.
Now, take off those thigh high boots and put on some flip flops for goodness sake!
