Welcome to Family Friendly Friday! Today my two chefs are my twin daughters, Aubree and Brynn. This recipe is so simple, I didn’t even have to help them! Now was there a mess? Yes! 🙂 But isn’t that part of the fun? My girls sure think it is. I am so thankful that my twins are not my picky eaters. They love veggies and always ask me for some “veggie dip”! So this is our recipe, we hope you enjoy it!
Measure out 1 cup of full fat greek yogurt or organic raw yogurt into a medium bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or raw sour cream (see recipe) to the bowl.
Add 1/4 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp unrefined sea salt to the bowl.
Now add 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/8 tsp paprika, 1/8 tsp celery seeds, and 1/8 tsp dill weed. How cute is Aubree writing her first initial in the salt, always learning!
Now stir together until well blended.
Allow the dip to marinate for several hours or overnight. Place the dip in a serving dish and serve with some fresh vegetables.
- 1 cup raw yogurt, See Recipe
- 2 tbsp raw or organic sour cream
- ¼ tsp unrefined garlic salt
- ¼ tsp unrefined sea salt
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ⅛ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp celery seeds
- ⅛ tsp dill weed
- Mix all of the ingredients together and serve cold with some fresh vegetables.
So cute!

Little chefs in the making! I can see them on TV one day! Great job, Halle! Keep it up! 🙂 Love the veggie dip recipe. Thanks so much for linking up with us at Kids in the Kitchen. Such a blessing having you! Have a great week and see you next Tuesday!

It looks like your daughters had a lot of fun learning to make this delicious veggie dip! What a great healthy snack. I really like the seasonings in this recipe too.
[email protected] girls love to cook and I can’t think of a better gift to give them then teaching them at a young age how to cook and how to cook with wholesome healthy ingredients. Thanks for the great blog hop, I enjoy it every week!
Well done girls- your dip looks so tasty! Thank you so much for sharing this with us on Natural Mothers Network’s Seasonal Celebration and best wishes for a very Happy Easter!

Yum. What a lovely dip. Its so great to see your kids involved in the process. Brilliant.
Learned something new today–thanks, Halle! At Christmas, we make both male and female fudge!
I love this!!! Thank you!
I don’t think this is accurate. I thought it was really cool and then I asked some master gardeners and they said it’s not true …
You are correct Jessica, this is absolutely false. Even if the male/female thing wasn’t a load of poppycock, even the correlation to taste based on bumps is incorrect: http://www.academicjournals.org/jhf/pdf/pdf2010/March/Sharma%20et%20al..pdf Long story short bell pepper lobe number doesn’t affect taste, but positively correlates with number of branches of plant and length of the harvest (i.e. the more branches or the longer the harvest period, the more the lobes). That’s about it. Feel free to buy any shaped bell peppers you want. 🙂
No such thing as male and female peppers!!!!!
According to foodreference.com:
Question. I was just told today that when choosing bell peppers I should look for one with four bumps on the bottom because it is a “female” pepper and thus will be sweeter. The “male” pepper has only three bumps. Is this factual???
Answer. Peppers have complete flowers, that is both male and female parts in the same flower. *
Male and female fruit can only come from plant types that have separate male and female flowers, and with a few exceptions, only the female flowers produce fruit. (one of the exceptions – some papaya male flowers will set fruit).
The number of lobes is related to the specific variety of pepper. There are varieties of peppers that produce 2, 3-4, or 3-5 lobed peppers. The 4 lobed ‘bell’ pepper was (and is) more popular in the U.S., so plants have been breed for this characteristic.
* (Pepper trees [black & white pepper] have separate male and female flowers).
🙂 thanks! Love peppers! Now I can choose them more carefully!
False. It has nothing to do with sweetness. It is a marketing variety. Read above link by Stuart.
How cool, I will have to take notice to see if I can tell a difference!
Your chef’s are adorable, how fun! We are going to try this at home. Fun recipe and fun post. Great job. Thank you!
Thank you Vegy! 🙂
