How to Gift a Grocery Store Bouquet

Spring is so close, I can practically smell it. Well, that's probably because I scored quite the deal on lovely flowers at Trader Joe's this weekend. I love that place! The best deal of the weekend? $1.49 for 10 daffodil stems. 

For that kind of price, you can't even complain about the flowers' basic packaging - a rubber band. Definitely can't gift them in their current state (even though they're incredibly lovely!) So, what's a girl to do? Fancy them up! But how?!

Four Ingredient Low-Fat Chili & Cheese Dip

Yep. Four basic ingredients. One bowl. Done.

Oh yeah, and it's low-fat. Please, thank you, you're welcome!
