New Parent Snack Basket

A few weeks ago our friends welcomed a precious baby boy into the world.  I wanted to make them some food but figured they'd likely get the typical items like baked pasta dishes, chili's and stews so I opted to do a snack basket.  Included:  Individual baggies of veggies with dip, spinach and cheese dip  with tostitos, naan bread, garlic hummus and a bottle of sparkling juice to celebrate!

Dill Vegetable Dip

1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dill weed
pinch of salt
* Serve with assorted chopped vegetables

Garlic Hummus
1 can chick peas
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon concentrated lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon cumin
*Serve with warmed naan bread.

Jill, I think this is a terrific idea! It will provide really yummy and high guality grazing foods at a time when one is not so interested in food preparation.
