This dip! I love dip. Some of my favorite dips include my Buffalo Ranch Dip, BBQ Chicken Dip and Southwest Ranch Dip. It might seem like a weird thing to love but I really do love dip, and I really love this Paleo Roasted Garlic and Artichoke Dip. This was my first time roasting garlic myself, but it definitely won’t be my last! The roasted garlic gives this dip an extra savory level of flavor. My taste-testers aka my friends loved this Roasted Garlic and Artichoke Dip and couldn’t believe it was paleo. I call that a win!

So it is my birthday this week. I never seem to share “birthday” type recipes around my birthday. Oh well! I love creating savory recipes way more than making sweets. Don’t get my wrong though- I love eating sweets! Just not baking them! This year has been crazy. I posted 53 new recipes, moved states and started a new job. This year has been a year of transitioning and a year of new beginnings. I have loved every minute of it, and I can’t wait to see what the next year holds!

In other news last week kind of sucked, but I am trying to not let it get me down. Along with my blog, I work a full-time job along with freelance writing. Well last week the company I freelance write for, Mode Media, shutdown unexpectedly and isn’t paying any of its writers’ money owed, including me. This sucks! I can’t begin to say how much this sucks, but I don’t like being a negative person. So I am focusing on the happy! I love my blog and my blog readers! You guys are the best. Since I won’t be freelance writing ever again, I will have more time to invest back in my blog. Get ready for lots of recipes and more of my ramblings!

  1. Wow! This looks and sounds amazing! Would probably be good served over chicken too. Is it really supposed to be just 2 small cloves of garlic?
