Delectable spreadables!

Now that my little girl is going to preschool, we don't get to dine out as often as we used to. My favorite food trip buddy goes to kindergarten from 1:00 - 3:30 p.m. so we spend the mornings getting ready for class (a tedious process, if you know what I mean) and the afternoons working on her homework. Left without a choice, I told myself that if I can't have my restaurant adventures, I'll just scour the neighborhood for new and exciting food finds.

         
                              Boopsie's homemade dips and spreadables

One serendipitous day, I attended the parents' orientation at Bea's preschool, where the administrators and staff served snacks to the parents in attendance. There were Dunkin' Donuts, juice drinks in foil packs, and Fita biscuits with some kind of a dip. One taste of the dip and I found myself inching my way to the back of the classroom, looking at the label on the dip and recording the contact number on my cellphone. About a week later, I placed a small order for Boopsie's garlic cheese & chives. Fortunately, she lives in the nearby subdivision of Moonwalk so I met up with her in her lovely home to get my orders.

Boopsie del Rosario is the wonderful lady behind these incredibly delicious homemade dips and spreads. She is a flight attendant by profession but she enjoys whipping something up in her kitchen during her days off. She and her husband Aries, also a flight attendant, personally make the dips and spreads--from grating or shaving the cheese (that she buys abroad) to packing and labeling the finished products. The garlic cheese & chives (P50/cup) is packed with an intense garlic flavor, which I absolutely love, and has just the right creamy consistency. It's great with crackers, chips, veggie sticks (my husband dipped cucumber sticks in it, while I had carrot sticks) and Aries swears it's perfect even on steaks (must try that next time). Instant gravy--voila!

         
                                                   sardine paté

The sardine paté (P50/cup) is made with premium spanish-style sardines. Mildly spicy, the paté provides that extra kick to ordinary crackers. Spread it on and you've got a nice  hors d'oeuvre to serve your guests when you're entertaining at home.

         
                                     sundried tomato and pesto cheese

The sundried tomato and pesto cheese (P65/cup) is a pleasant surprise. It's subtly flavored yet very appetizing. Great with tortilla chips, tofu chips, potato chips, bread sticks, and especially crostini. This is my favorite among the three. I actually licked the cup clean with my finger after snacking on chips. It's highly addictive! If you're on a cracker diet, I don't recommend any of the 3 dips/spreads because I guarantee that you wouldn't want to stop munching on your crackers.

Boopsie says she's coming up with hummus to add to her homemade line. I can't wait for that because my Bea and I are very fond of hummus. Yum. There's no doubt that Boopsie's homemade treats are going to make waves. She may be starting very small, but that's how many successful home businesses usually start, right? By using only the finest and freshest ingredients, there's no way for Boopsie's to go but soar.

For orders, you may contact Boopsie at 09189293152. She has international roaming. *wink*
