A couple of Sundays ago, I did one of the hardest things I’ve done as a parent. I dropped my daughter off at college and headed back home.
I thought I was ready for her to start a new chapter..
I thought she was ready to start a new chapter.
But, boy oh boy, was I wrong.
I’m thinking our “waterworks” would have rivaled the tallest waterfall here in Georgia! I kid, I kid!
Seriously, for me, this past week had been one of the longest and quietest weeks ever. At least, that was until Friday rolled around. This was one time when I wasn’t saying FriYay because of the arrival of the weekend – you see, this FriYay, my kiddo arrived home!
And, on Friday night, we talked, and talked, and talked, all the way until 2:00 am, while we dipped into this Tomato Basil Hummus Dip and this Green Goddess Hummus Dip with GOOD THiNS- The Beet One- Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt and GOOD THiNS- The Potato One- Sweet Potato!
I first stumbled on GOOD THiNS when I was walking down the cracker aisle at Kroger a few months ago. Seeing I am a tad bit beet obsessed, I brought home “The Beet One,” and, it has been a favorite of ours ever since. In fact, when my daughter moved into college, we snacked on thin and crispy GOOD THiNS- The Beet One in between carrying loads of stuff between my car and her dorm room.
GOOD THiNS start with real ingredients (like wheat, potato and rice), combined with enticing flavors (like garlic, spinach and sweet potato) and baked thin and crispy without any artificial flavors, colors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. GOOD THiNS come in a variety of flavors, here are three of our favorites:
GOOD THiNS- The Wheat One- Ancient Grains
New! Rediscover wheat with ancient grains like quinoa, amaranth & millet. Baked deliciously thin & crispy. Age-old grains for the new age. We’re made with 100% whole grain wheat. The wheat one.
GOOD THiNS- The Beet One- Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt
New! A baked snack with a delicious tangy twist. Root for the Beet! Flavored with balsamic vinegar and sea salt.
GOOD THiNS- The Potato One- Sweet Potato
Sweet Potato GOOD THiNS are made with real sweet potatoes. So if you share them, you’re sure to hear “Sweet. You’re the sweetest.” 60% less fat than the leading regular fried potato chip.
My local Kroger store carries a wide variety of flavors of GOOD THiNS – and, over the next few years that my daughter spends in college, we plan on trying as many of them as we can – over our long, long, chat sessions.

Pretty and delicious dips! Those beet chips look and sound really interesting, Shashi.
Wow! That green goddess hummus is so brilliantly green and gorgeous. We love how you snuck in some healthy veggies.
Those Good Thins sound amazing, Shashi…and they look like the perfect dipper for this incredible hummus! 🙂 So I love that you and lil Shashi got a chance to sit up and chat til the wee hours of the morning. I’m sure she had so many incredible stories after her first week of college! It’s a tough transition time, but those college years really are the best! Happy Monday, my friend!!
Beautiful, delicious and the color is spectacular. Love it Shashi!!
I’m not surprised you talked up until 2.am Shashi. I’d definitely be staying up that late not just to catch up but to “finish” up this yummy dip!! 🙂
I can’t even imagine what sending my oldest daughter off to college will feel like! Hugs to you momma. What a wonderful dip to chat the night away with your favorite girl pal. #client
Awwww! I can’t imagine how hard it was to drop your mini me off at college, but I do remember when my parents dropped me off, both my parents were crying. I think it took a few days to hit me, but I started to miss them terribly after the first week. It’s so sweet that she already came home to visit you!! YAY! Speaking of yay – these dips! You know I’m all about hummus, so these are speaking my name! Love them both and can’t wait to try them! Cheers, my sweet friend! XOXO
