Yum! spicy red pepper dip (click through for recipe) If you’ve ever had food restrictions in your diet for health or allergy reasons, you know that frustrating feeling of trying to find alternatives for some of your favorite snacks and meals. I did a pretty intense diet change a few years ago to try and correct some health issues I was having at the time, and the list of things that I could eat was so teeny tiny that I just about gave up on the plan. Thankfully, I found a few staple recipes to adapt like this pepper dip and this chocolate pudding to satisfy my snack cravings while maintaining my eating path. Since the ingredients are so simple, I’ve found that it also has worked for a lot of other people that try to steer clear of their own list of items, so I thought I’d share it with you to hopefully enjoy as well!

1/3 cup sunflower seeds (unsalted)
1/2 cup hemp seeds (try sesame seeds if you don’t have these)
1/2 of a red pepper (seeds removed)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

If you are timid when it comes to spice, dial back the spices a bit, and if you like it hot, then add a little more. The weird thing is that I don’t even like red peppers that much, but I love this dip! Think you’ll give it a try? xo. Laura
