We have a veggie garden that we are quite excited about, although it hasn’t really been producing much more than my herbs lately.
But happily, we had some very cute little eggplants growing so I decided to use these in a dip (there wasn’t enough for much else unfortunately!!) when we had friends over the other night.
It is also quite low fat so that can only be a good thing if you are anything like me and love dip and bickies!!!
