GIVEAWAY Gifts That Give a Hand Up Through the Women's Bean Project

For several years, I was a single parent to two young children and I hated the thought of hand-outs. I worked full time, went to college full time, and I was so thankful to those who gave me a hand up to success. There is a company that has been providing hand-ups for women since 1989, to help them break the cycle of poverty and unemployment. It's called the Women's Bean Project and I had the pleasure of trying one of their gift packs, called the Three Dip Bundle.

It is a darling gift package, perfected pre-wrapped for giving. I loved the Women's Bean Project bow on it, that shows the receiver of the gift that you not only thought of them, but you also thought of someone else. What a wonderful gesture.

My family voted to try the Garlic and Herb dip first. It took me just a few minutes to dump 8 ounces of sour cream, 8 ounces of mayonnaise, and the dip mix together. It took my family even less time to make it disappear. Normally 16 ounces of dip should be enough for a party, but I have two teenage boys and they're a party all unto themselves.

It was supposed to chill in the fridge for at least an hour, but apparently my family decided that step was unnecessary. It was, of course, more important to them to "sample" it for the review. Yeah, okay.

The next day, I selected PJ's Smoky Tomato dip mix and again simply mixed it with sour cream and mayo. I opted for low fat on both, since we're all trying to eat healthier around here. When I opened the package, I could tell by the sharp, spicy smell of this dip mix that I was going to really like this one.

Amazingly simple to make and simply amazing to taste.

It is a wonderful combination of spices and it was delicious on both the carrots and the Cabo chips. I love, love, love this dip mix and will definitely be buying it in bulk. I hid the bowl of PJ's Smoky Tomato dip in the back of the fridge and I am hoping no teenagers find it before I get more of it.

The third mix in this pack is called Dillicious Dill. When I first opened it, the smell of dill was really strong. So much so that I worried about whether I'd like it. I mixed it with sour cream and mayo, 8 ounces each, just like the other two mixes, and put it in the fridge for an hour.

This dip is also very good. The taste is not as strong as I thought it would be; rather it's just right. I took this dip and some salty crackers to a potluck and the bowl was nearly licked clean. Obviously everyone else liked it too!

I definitely give this Three Dip Bundle a two thumbs-up! From the beautiful packaging of the gift to the delicious taste of the final dip mixes, I am very pleased. The Smoky Tomato is my favorite. Best of all, purchasing from the Women's Bean Project will give a hand up to someone who is working hard to combat their own poverty.
