This roasted garlic cheese dip is creamy and delicous, with a hit of basil. It's a paleo dip. Serve it up with my gluten free crackers.
I am not always just about chocolate...I am a huge fan of cheese also. Here is a recipe for roasted garlic cream cheese basil dip. And to go along with it, I borrowed this recipe from Elana's Pantry of gluten free crackers.
If you are on a paleo diet and you miss eating cheese and crackers like I do, you will love making these. It is also a great appetizer to entertain guests and they won't even be able to tell it is grain free and paleo.
