Since most of our meals thus far in the Cooking Rocks Challenge have been on the greasy/cheesy/red meat side of the house, Nolan and I decided to try something a little healthier this week. We selected "The Big Dipper Menu" consisting of Creamy Salsa Dip and Veggies, Crunchy Oven-Baked Chicken Toes and for dessert, Fuji Apples with Peanutbuttery Caramel Dip.

First up, the Creamy Salsa Dip and Veggies. Let me just start out saying that Nolan was immediately turned off to this recipe when he saw me mixing the fresh salsa and sour cream together to make the dip. This dish is supposed to be served with the Crunchy Oven Baked Chicken Toes, but I quickly learned it's more of an appetizer when your little one doesn't like it! He ended up eating a bunch of the veges - baby carrots, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes (his favorite) and sugar snap peas. As for me, the dip was not my favorite but perhaps it was my salsa selection - a mild one. If I had used a salsa with more zing, the dip likely would have tasted better.

Total prep and cooking time: Less than 10 minutes.

Next up: Dinner with Crunchy Oven-Baked Chicken Toes.
