Feeling worn out this week? Perhaps last weekend—with its abundance of both St. Patrick's Day celebrations and racing opportunities—is to blame.
Perhaps you had a few beers on Saturday night, then accepted another from a crowd of revelers along the course of your neighborhood 5-K Sunday morning. (Note: Runner's World Walking Could Add 11 Years to Your Life, Study.)
Perhaps you're not jazzed about drinking the Guinness left in your fridge.
If that's the case, use your stout to make this dip.
The recipe is deceiving—despite containing cheese, sour cream, and beer, the finished product is much lighter than you'd expect, and the rosemary adds some fresh notes.
If you're hoping to load up on veggies this week to atone for your St. Paddy's Day sins, they'll taste lots better dipped in this.
