Well, Punxsutawney Phil is back in his winter habitat after his proclamation of six more weeks of  Winter earlier this week and now we head for SuperBowl XLVI (Superbowl 46) Sunday.  With all the predictions going around on Phil Thursday and the Patriots and Giants for this weekend,  anything is indeed possible. 

A good way to relax through the game is with the beverage of your choice and some appetizers with family and friends.  Here is an old time Natures’ Heritage favorite recipe for chips and dip–

Party Time Chips

1 Tbsp butter
1/4 Cup Watkins grapeseed oil or olive oil of your choice
4 cloves garlic
3 loaves pita bread

 Preheat oven to 300 Fahrenheit.

Melt butter in small skillet, then add grapeseed oil or olive oil and garlic and sauté over low heat for about 5 minutes.

Split pita loaves in half and separate the top & bottom halves. With inside of the pita side down, place pita slices in the butter/oil mix for a few seconds each, then placing them on a cookie sheet, oiled side up.

Bake about 8-10 minutes, then place under broiler until golden brown. Remove and cut each piece into 3 smaller pieces  and serve with one of the great JR Watkins easy to make dips.  Makes about 3 dozen appetizers.  Enjoy!

 We’ll be back for Monday morning quarterbacking on the Super Bowl!
