Dip Recipes

Last week, my friend and I met for happy hour drinks that inevitably turned into post-happy hour dinner. One glance at the menus, and we just couldn’t help ourselves. Against our usual rules, we both ordered the exact same thing: shrimp tacos. (This was extra embarrassing because when we arrived we realized we were also both wearing almost identical outfits, but I digress.) My friend quickly downed both tacos while I leisurely made my way through my first. I was about to start my second when my friend looked me straight in the eye and said, “That taco looks so good that I just want to rip it out of your hands.” I gave her the taco. Frankly, she earned it. That kind of passion is exactly the enthusiasm shrimp tacos deserve. Why We Love Shrimp Tacos Shrimp tacos are the superior taco, hands down, no argument. They’re the perfect combination of seafood and Mexican. Better yet, they also happen to be the healthiest way to enjoy tacos. Shrimp are a tasty, super low-cal protein, which...

Welcome to Nifty, Gifty Holidays , our guide for all the little, magical ways we make the season sparkle. Today, we’re getting ready to ring in the New Year with a simple but special cocktail. If you're like me, you prefer to stay in on New Year's Eve.
