A restaurant in my home town serves an appetizer like this and it’s been a favorite of mine for years. If I go to The Little Village, I have to get this dip.  It combines many of my favorite things – roasted red peppers and garlic, hot goat cheese and crusty french bread. In fact, it’s so charming, if I had only those 4 ingredients I’m sure I could be content forever.

Not that I’d want to find out or anything…

Baked Goat Cheese & Pepper Dip - 2-4 servings

A new website called zisboombah is essentially a computer game but instead of slaying vampires and running from werewolves, the object of the game is to pick out a healthy, well-rounded meal. This sounds like my kind of game!

Once they’ve come up with a healthy meal, the kids can send it directly to their parents and voila, dinner is served. If only it were that simple, right?

Go play or send it to the kids you know, I promise it’s fun!  zisboombah.com
