Mother Earth News Radio – Artichoke and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

This recipe was given to me by one of our guests years ago and when I make it on the Riggin the plates NEVER come back to the galley with even a speck of food on them.  Of course, as is my nature, I switch it up some – adding crab meat, cream cheese, spinach or black beans – but the basic recipe remains the same and we don’t tire of this bubbly, melty, zingy, addictive dip.

This week, it became the Project of the Week, on Mother Earth News Radio.  Andrea Ridout and Dan Lepinski, hosts of the show, and I talked about composting, buying local, food, sustainable business and well, more food.  The show will air this Saturday and then be on Mother Earth News Radio website to stream.  I’ll be sure to post the link when its live.
