Dear Em:
I love having football parties at my house, but I get tired of serving chips with all my favorite dips. Any ideas for a new dunking food?

Even though chips are a great dipper for festive party dips, think outside the box! Spread oven baked waffle fries or tater tots around a dip tray for a different treat. Fresh, crunchy veggies always work well with all dip types. Refrigerated dough makes for quick, easy breadsticks for dipping into dips. Simply, roll out dough slice into thin strips and bake on a sheet according to package directions. For an extra zing, add your favorite dried herbs to bread dough before baking.
