    Helllllooo Friday!

    Is there any better feeling than waking up and realizing it's Friday?

    Waking up and realizing it's Friday AND not having to go to work. Cuz that just happened.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not gunna werk. I have a jam-packed day, full of sleeping in, shopping my brains out (which is like, two stores for me), and calling a bowl full of pizza dip lunch.

    ..or maybe breakfast. Hey, it's Friday, all bets are off and all sweatpants are on.

    And really no celebration, party, or shindig is really complete unless dip and chip are invited. Like, it pretty much never happened if they didn't make the guest list.

    So far in this cauliflower crust expedition, we've merged pizza with nachos, stuffed a calzone with jalapeno poppers, and now we're deconstructing pizza to dip status.

    SEVEN LAYER dip status.

    Seven layer dip is actually one of my all time favorite party foods, just as long as I can dip my way around olives if they're present. There's something about, gee I dunno, having all the dips in one where I don't have to pick favorites. Do you see a theme here? I think I see a theme here.

    But during the winter months, I want something that threatens to inflict third degree burns on the roof of my mouth if not approached with caution. And really, is there even such a thing as TOO MUCH pizza? I don't think so.

    The thing I like about the Cauli-Crust so much is that it gets super crispy, unlike all the cauliflower crusts I've ever attempted, that needed a forklift and double padded support to stand up to any heavy lifting. DIPPING?! Blasphemy.

    But super crispy is how I like my pizza, and makes these guys in chip form the perfect dipping partner. Much like life, never trust a partner who can't dip. It will almost always end up as a mess on the floor, and tears. LOTS of tears.

    And really, it's like getting to have 8 billion tiny pieces of pizza in one sitting while trying to yell at your team through a TV screen. Maybe it's 8 billion, maybe it's 8, who's really counting?!
