Here is a Haney Farmers Market market day recipe you might want to try. What makes this dip so special? Well, it’s got everything you need in a dip – major creaminess, cheesiness (I used Happy Days Goat’s Cheese Cheddar), a kick of flavor from The Chef’s Nose Spices (try "The Vegetarian) and of course, broccoli overload, in season right now. And when you take a slice of freshly baked, crusty bread from A Bread Affair and dip that into the piping hot mixture, it is absolute perfection. For an extra zing, try a seasoned salt from The Flour Girl. #haneyfarmersmarket #foodiefriday
