    Oh, these look so good! I will definitely have to try them. By the way, I love to mix different herbs and spices into my sour cream to use as a dip… basil, dill, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper, etc. No proportions, just whatever looks good. Yummmmmm! Now where are the chips?
