How I Celebrated

Nate was inspired by Chipotle and he made some spicy guac. The Melba Toast is super bland, but it works well as a chip too. I am not really sure why that is a thing or why you can buy it at the store like I did. It is basically a crouton chip with zero flavor.

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Make sugar free bread for your melba toast. Chips and dip are usually savory, so you are in the green.

• Gluten Free

  Once again, just gluten free bread to make your toast, chips are generally gluten free, just watch out for what is being used as the thickening agent. Try some of these recipes.

• Vegetarian

  As long as you aren't going for bacon dips or chili nachos, I think you should be fine.

History

 Punchbowl
Hummus was one of the first dips for chips, and it was the last one that I tried. The dip most popular in my house growing up was cottage cheese. I had the other dips at parties, and I also loved going to my friend's when she made artichoke dip.

Merchandise

There are a lot of cute toast things, but you should probably just get Nacho Libre and watch the part where they eat toast in his room.
