Hot Onion Souffle Dip

 

This is the time of the year you want to start eating those yummy hot dips instead of those cool summer dips and here is the perfect one …..
 



This is the best stuff I have ever had! I could literally eat it every day. A very kind caterer left me some when she packed up to leave after catering a wedding at the park where I work. One bite and I knew I had to find a recipe for it. I looked over several recipes and after several combinations, I ended up with the recipe below.
To be honest, I don’t measure my ingredients. I just dump whatever I happen to have on hand into a bowl. I usually make a small batch by using only one 8oz package of cream cheese. I then throw in a small onion (chopped) and dump the cheese in “unmeasured”. But if you are the type of person who needs exact measurement…….

2) 8-oz blocks of cream cheese
1 1/2 to 2 cups parmesan cheese (grated or shredded work, but shredded is better)
1large onion (chopped)
1/3 cup mayonnaise


Combine and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes (depending on how brown you like the crust on top). It can be made in a pie plate or a small casserole dish. I serve mine with pita chips.
 
This is one of those recipes that you can add extra of the things you love and use less of what you don’t. I usually add extra onion and less cheese because that is the way I like it!
 
 

The Best Fruit Dip EVER !


Hands down, this is the easiest, best tasting fruit dip ever. I have been making this fruit dip for about fifteen years. It actually came about as an accident. I wanted to make some fruit dip and could not remember what you actually put in fruit dip. I couldn’t decide if it was cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk or was it cream cheese and marshmallow creme? I was pretty sure there was cream cheese involved somehow. I finally decided to just dump everything in together. How could you go wrong. Anything with cream cheese is good and who doesn’t like marshmallow cream? And sweetened condensed milk, well….I won’t even go there. Let’s just say there is not ever a drop left in the can. EVER! And that it will cut your tongue if you are not careful while licking the lid….I mean cleaning the lid, before disposing of the can.

 
Here is how to make it:
 
1 8oz package of Cream Cheese
1 container of Marshmallow Fluff
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
 
That’s it. Mix everything together. (I use a hand mixer) Make it ahead of time and just pop it into the refrigerator. It taste better after it has been in the frige for a few hours. Serve with fruit of your choice.

CUCUMBER DIP

 
I got this recipe from my friend at Simply Nanna and it makes a great refreshing dip. When I make this, I add 2 - 4 large cucumbers because I love, love, love cucumbers. It’s a great way to use of some of those cucumbers that are ready in the garden. If you want a milder cucumber taste, add only one cucumber as the origional recipe calls for.

Note:  I used Triscuit Dill flavored crackers for an awesome taste combination. 


2 - 4 large cucumbers
2 (8oz) cream cheese
1 pkg Ranch Dip Mix
2 Tablespoons Mayo

Slice cucumber and chop very fine (I put it in my mini chopper) and set aside.

Put cream cheese in bowl and add Ranch Dip mix, mayo, and chopped cucumber. Mix well and serve.
