Apricot Dip for #SundaySupper

There we were standing at the bus stop. We waited and waited and finally the bus arrived. The driver asked us if we were going to the elementary school. Nope, we were excited to be going to what was then called “Junior High”. The driver said our street was no longer in the zone for the school we thought. So the bus drove off and left us standing there. We called our parents and hours later we finally were settled in the other school. And so my back to school day memories that year are filled with being left behind, discovering new things, and being confused about it all. These were the thoughts I had when making this Apricot Dip. It brought me back to a time long ago and a day I will not forget.

The first day of school was always a big day. The weeks prior were spent shopping for clothes and supplies. I would be just as excited over a new notebook as I would with a sweater or jeans. My weakness for office supplies surfaced early. Still today I could browse through an office supply store for hours. However, a lot of my time spent shopping these days is at grocery and housewares stores. Such is the life of a food blogger.

Apricot dip with fresh fruit is great for an after school snack. It certainly was my mid-afternoon snack after taking the photos. I almost devoured half of what you see on the platter. The dip is creamy from Greek yogurt, sweetened with apricot preserves, and given some extra flavor and texture with coconut and walnuts. Pecans would work nicely too. Oh, and another great back to school snack is Honey Oat Bars.

What’s your most unique first day of school memory? Being left at the bus stop is mine. At least now I can look back and laugh about it. What about back to school recipes? Would you happen to be looking for some? It’s your lucky day because all you have to do is scroll down to find a list of ones by Sunday Supper contributors.
