There have been many adjustments since I first transitioned to a paleo/primal lifestyle this year. I was pleased by how quickly I got used to avoiding bread and sugar, but the one lingering problem? Surprisingly, it’s booze. I say “surprisingly” because I’ve never been a heavy drinker, so I didn’t even consider alcohol when going paleo. But I love meeting friends for happy hour or enjoying an evening cocktail at home from time to time. Now it’s really just about planning in advance and deciding when I’m going to treat myself to a little something extra. For example: St. Patrick’s Day. This is a fun holiday and I expect I’ll be enjoying a drink or two. But what about the food? No worries here!

Roasted Red Pepper Walnut Dip

I discovered a great dip that makes a fabulous appetizer.  We served it with assorted fresh vegetables before our Christmas dinner and it was a huge hit, even with the grandbabies!  It has the texture and taste similar to hummus, which we haven't had in a LONG time.

Ingredients:

Photo: Cupcakes OMG

• 1 cup walnuts
• 6 oz roasted red peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 clove garlic
• salt to taste

Directions:

1. Add walnuts to food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until creamy and dip-able.  Add more oil, if necessary, to reach desired consistency.
3. Serve with assorted crudite.

This makes about a cup.  Make lots!  It will go fast.   I'm seeing a lot of paleo peeps serving this dish during the Super Bowl...
