Cheesy Tomato Dip

Now that autumn is here with cool nights, shorter days, and temperatures steadily dropping, many of us will start turning to our favourite comfort foods to help keep us warm and cheery. We just discovered an ultimate new comfort food that is about to blow your mind; it certainly blew ours! This recipe for Cheesy Tomato Dip is absolutely to die for. Really! Careful though, because after you try it you will crave it forever and no other dip will satisfy you. We all love dips and there are so many to choose from these days: garlic, onion, spinach, 7 layer, baba ghanouj, hummus, black bean, artichoke, salsa, and the list goes on and on. But what about cheese dips? And what about cheesy dips with roasted tomatoes? And what about adding all of the right spices? If you do it right, you may never want any other dip again!

This is a recipe you can cook up all for yourself if you're feeling needy or greedy or if you're going through a rough patch and need a quick carb-and-cheese fix. Or, if you and your loved one are going to kick back on the couch with some good movies, some cheesy tomato dip can also come in pretty handy. We admit it's not exactly healthy but it sure is yummy, and everything is fine in moderation. This is also the perfect recipe for a party, get-together, or potluck, and beware: you are bound to become a culinary superstar after you serve it for the first time. Expectations of your keen abilities cooking will rise! This dip is highly edible and therefore addictive and people will be lining up on your doorstep to get more, we promise you.

In fact, there is probably an in-depth scientific explanation as to why this dish is so addictively delicious. With all of the wonderful cheese, it's bound to be chock-full of mood-enhancing tryptophan. Tryptophan elevates levels of serotonin in our brains and gives us an overall feeling of well-being. Unfortunately, it doesn't last! That's why we find ourselves craving cheese dishes like this again and again (and again!)Whatever the reason, we know we love this cheesy tomato dip and if you like cheese and tomatoes as much as we do, we know you will love it too! It's so easy to make, you'll be able to whip one batch up after another as the demand rises with each and every bite.

The other great thing about this recipe is that it includes French baguettes, another favourite of ours. There's nothing like French bread and cheese in the cool fall months, not to mention the dark days of winter! You'll learn how to slice and toast these beautiful baguettes for optimum presentation and flavour. But please be sure to keep an eye on them when they're in the oven, because it's true - they do burn fast.
