Some sports are Greek to me

Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, so it seems fitting to pay homage to the country of the greatest sporting event ever.

Taking away all the media hoopla and focusing on physical accomplishments and mental preparedness; it is truly remarkable what a human being can do on the playing field. The best part of the Olympic Games is the chance to experience new sports normally not shown on mainstream media.

Men's field hockey? Never knew it was a thing! Rugby, synchronized diving, and handball? Again, I had no clue these were included sports on the roster.

It's been fun to watch and worth the sleepless late nights.

Like any competitor, one needs to keep their strength up, so this 7 Layer Greek Dip was made to fuel our couch surfing (will that be a sport soon?) and keep us laser-focused on which channel we should click to for the next go- for-the-gold, silver or bronze hardware moments.

Enjoy this as is or as a topping on baked chicken or on salad greens and most importantly, don't wait for 4 more years to make it again!
