If you have been reading Bobbi’s Kozy Kitchen for very long you know we are football fans.
I mean like we decorate in green and blue for Christmas, fly a Seahawk flag year-round, and even named our dogs Sia and Hawk.
Sea – Hawk…..get it? I know 🙄
Yes, we are those football fans.
Ya, we are just a teensy bit obsessed errr enthusiastic when it comes to football.
So, when this time of the year rolls around my head is filled with thoughts of all sorts of delicious appetizer and party kind of food.
Things like my Buffalo Chicken aka Chicken Crack Dip that is requested EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR. and these Philly Cheesesteak Bombs that I am going to try using fathead dough this year.
Other family faves are Cheesy Artichoke Crab Dip, Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs, Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings, and Smoked Salmon Dip.
OK, OK, get to the dip already Bobbi.
First off, let’s start at the beginning.
WHAT IS TEXAS TRASH DIP?
I am not really sure where the name came from. Possibly the Tex-Mex flavor profile? But Texas Trash is traditionally a warm bean dip with green chiles, Mexican spices, and cheese, all baked into a delicious dip.
So, what a low carb girl like me to do when she is craving this ooey-gooey goodness?
Well, at first I just thought it was one of those things I had to say adios to anything like this.
But now, over a year and a half into this lifestyle, I have become determined to find a way to enjoy anything I want.
