TwoFaced Red Pepper

"TwoFaced Tuesdays" is a joint venture between CupcakesOMG! and Jenna from The Paleo Project. Each week, we select one secret ingredient and put our own paleo spin on it. You can catch up on the entire series here. Also, if you have any special ingredient requests, you can always tweet us (@MHeraldo and @ThePaleoProject) using the hashtag #TwoFacedTuesday.
In todays first order of business: do you guys like the recipes that Jenna and I are coming up with each Tuesday? I mean, for weeks now, weve been toiling away for hours in the kitchen, whipping up innovative and delicious Paleo-friendly recipes to suit your every whim. Your EVERY. WHIM. 

And because we both crave constant validation and admiration, were gonna keep going, knowing that, at some point, you will give us the approval we so desperately need/want/expect. So with that, we bring you complementary recipes. Yes, were taking TwoFaced one step further this week by not only using the same star ingredient, but also two dishes that are designed to be enjoyed together. Dont get it yet?? Please, to see the roasted red pepper walnut dip I made below:
The ingredients are simple and yet full of flavor. Whirred up real good in a food processor until creamy, its the perfect dip that will get you to eat your veggies...or, ya know, the thing that Jenna made. (And yes, this makes two dips in a row for TwoFaced Tuesday, but screw you! The SuperBowl is nearly upon us and everyone knows the SuperBowl is all about dips. And thats it.)
 I dont even LIKE red peppers and I LOVE the dip. Just sayin.
 On a separate note requiring praise and admiration, how great is my manicure??
Yeah, theyre nail polish stickers. Pretty great, right?

Be sure to check out the fantastic recipe Jenna made that would pair amazingly with this dip!!
