Vegetable Goat Cheese Dip is a savory easy to prepare dip with a sprinkling of lots of green vegetables.  Perfect to serve at a party, tailgating or over the holidays.

My hubby runs with a friend a few days a week and sometimes after the run they come in and have a beer to celebrate their accomplishment!

This celebration usually coincides with me finishing up a recipe for this blog..hmmmm, you think that’s a coincidence?  Anyway, I plopped this dish down in front of the boys to have them be my taste tasters.  Jeff gave it a thumbs up, but my hubby said it needed a little kick, so I threw in the red pepper flakes, which then I was told  it past muster.  I think he may a bit spoiled, what you think?

Anyway I think this  is a great appetizer to serve this weekend or to take to your next cocktail party!  I am a huge fan of artichoke dip, but making this with the goat cheese made it divine!  I serve it up with a great cracker, but a baguette would be just as delicious.
