Dill Dip

With the holidays upon us, it is inevitable that you will be assigned a "veggie tray" at your next gathering. Here is a great dip to go along with that old boring veggie tray! So creamy and delicious. My kids eat this with spoons! This is also great to dip crackers in!

2/3 c. mayo

2/3 c. sour cream

1 Tbsp. chopped green onion

1 Tbsp. dried parsley

1 tsp. dill weed

1 tsp season salt

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 drops Tabasco, optional 9I never use this because a lot of people do not like spicy food)

1-Combine mayo and sour cream

2-Add remaining ingredients

3-Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving

*will "keep" for up to three weeks in the fridge

Corn & Black Bean Salsa

This is super yummy! I could eat this all day for every meal. Give it a try with your next Mexican dish!

2 cans (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed, drained

8 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped

1 medium red onion, chopped

3/4 c. minced fresh cilantro

4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

1/4 c. lime juice

1/2 tsp. salt

Tortilla chips

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with tortilla chips

Mom's Caramel Apple Dip

As you can tell (with all her recipes on here) that my Mom is a wonderful cook! Here is another one of her delicious recipes. We always make this for family get together's, or when were just hanging out watching a game on t.v.

4-5 Apples (preferably Granny Smith. The "sourness" of the apple, balances out well with the sweetness of the caramel)

1 block of cream cheese, softened (can use low fat)

1 bottle of caramel topping

1/2 c. cashews chopped

1-Place softened cream cheese on a plate

2- Pour caramel (about half the bottle) over the top of the cream cheese

3-Sprinkle chopped nuts over cream cheese and caramel

4- Slice apples, and place around the edge of the plate

5- Dig in! This is the perfect "sweet & salty" treat! Yummm!

Shrimp Dip

1 pkg cream cheese, softened (can use light)
1 c. mayo (can use light or fat free)
1/2 c. dijon mustard
dash pepper
dash hot sauce
1/2 green onion, chopped fine
1 large can shrimp,drained/ rinsed

1-Cream together cream cheese, mayo, dijon mustard, hot sauce, place in serving dish
2-add pepper, onions, and shrimp, mix well to coat
3- serve with crackers

Mom's Spinach Dip

This spinach dip is so delicious, and really easy to make. My hubby's family is not into vegetables all that much, but I have made this a couple of times for family get together's, and everyone seems to like it. It's a must try, and is different that any other spinach dip recipe out there. My Mom is so creative :)

1 package of Knorr brand; LEEK soup mix
1 large container of sour cream (bigger than a 16 oz)
2 c. mayo
1/2 c. frozen spinach, thawed, and chopped
1 large can water chesnut's, chopped very fine
2 loves french bread, cut into bite size cubes
milk

1-Pour your soup mix, into a freezer bag. Seal rightly. Take a rolling pin, and roll out the soup mix, crunching up all the hard pieces. This takes about 2 min. Set aside.
2-In a large tupper wear dish, combine sour cream, mayo, water chestnut's, and spinach. Stir well to coat.
3-Add in soup mix, stir well (at this point if it is to thick, add a tich of milk to thin it out.)
4- Refrigerate before serving
5- When ready to serve;Cut french bread in cube size pieces, for dipping

* This recipe can vary depending on the taste you wish to achieve. If you don't like the taste of mayo, add less of it, and add more sour cream. If you want; lessen the sour cream and add more mayo. It's up to you. And just remember you can use light mayo and sour cream for this recipe.
*This is also good served with crackers, or veggies. And if you have leftovers it's really great on baked potatoes

Velveeta Salsa Dip

I make this for every Superbowl party, and sometimes with a Mexican dish. It's definitely not low in fat, but it is really yummy. It's always a "guy's favorite."

1 pound Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 (8oz) jar salsa or picante sauce
2 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

1-Stir Velveeta and salsa in saucepan o low heat until cheese is melted.
2-Stir in cilantro

*Serve hot with warm tortilla chips.
*Tip: I have also added a can of re fried beans, just for an extra ingredient and flavor. If you choose to do this, add it in with the cheese and salsa and cook together in saucepan.

Super Easy Fruit Dip

1 pkg cream cheese, softened
1 tub cool whip, thawed
1 can sweetened condensed milk

1.Place all ingredients in a large bowl, and mix with hand mixer until smooth.
2.Refrigerate and chill before serving

*Great with any kind of fruit!! Also use this dip to make a delicious fruit pizza. Simply buy 2 cans refrigerated cookie dough, spread on a baking sheet. Cook cookie dough as directed on the can. Let it cool completely. Smother with fruit dip, and top with desired fruits! Another great, light summer treat!
