Although March Madness doesn't start for another 10 days, it's not too early to start thinking about what you are going to make. Might I recommend this amazingly easy and sinfully delicious chili cheese dip? Seriously, this dip is so good I've made it twice and served it at two different parties.

In 2003, I attended a Super Bowl party where I had an amazing and different spinach artichoke dip. It was super creamy, rich, and flavorful, and I suspected that the spinach was fresh instead of frozen. It was the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever tasted.

After nachos, my second most beloved party food is dip. I like dips because they are generally easy to make and impart a wonderful casualness to an affair. There's no better time to experiment with a new dip recipe than Super Bowl Sunday.

If you love pizza — and who doesn't love pizza? Everyone does! — you are going to go Lady Gaga for this dip.

Although I do enjoy football, I really think of Super Bowl Sunday as an excuse to go all out with a dazzling array of dips. I make a few from scratch, like buffalo chicken and nacho cheese, and I also buy a few for the sake of convenience. So when I recently received some Stonemill Kitchens spreads and dips, I couldn't wait to see if they made the cut for my massive Super Bowl spread.

The Winter Fancy Foods Show, an annual expo of foods and trends that takes place each January at San Francisco's Moscone Center, happened over the weekend. On Tuesday, YumSugar and I ate our way through the aisles of cheese, chocolate, and every edible item imaginable. Here are my top bites.

Hummus, the popular, pureed garbanzo bean spread, has always been one of my favorite snacks. There's something about its creamy texture that makes it taste far more rich and decadent than it really is. Normally I'll purchase hummus from the store, but recently I remembered how easy it is to make — even when I'm in a hurry!Use a food processor and canned beans, and you'll have homemade hummus in a matter of minutes.

When I tried Baconnaise for the first time last year, I declared it the best thing since sliced bread. Its savory roundness led me to ponder: if Baconnaise is this good, why buy regular mayonnaise ever again?
I knew, from the way bacon turned up in just about everything, that this was only the beginning for J&D's, the mastermind behind Baconnaise.

After Thanksgiving, it always takes a couple of days to regain my appetite. That's why this weekend, when I had guests over, I decided to serve an easy and healthy party dip with crudités. Typically, spinach dips call for a great deal of sour cream and lots of shredded cheese — resulting in a dish that can be heavy.
