Apple Dip

Easiest stuff in the world!

1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 TBS vanilla

Mix it all together and enjoy! It is soooo yummy! We ate it with apples, strawberries and pears. (I didn't put in the vanilla and it was still great.)

Quick and Yummy Hummus

INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

DIRECTIONS
Combine the garbanzo beans, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, water, salt, pepper, and cumin in a blender or food processor, blend until smooth.

*I made this recipe because it's a little thinner with the yogurt but I want to make a batch that's thicker. After I made the hummus, I added cooked, shredded chicken breast to it (maybe 1 1/2 pounds?) and let it sit over night. The chicken absorbed the hummus so it then had the consistency of chicken salad. I ate it in whole wheat pita bread and it was so yummy -- and healthy! Next time I will probably put less chicken in and maybe add celery and almonds.

Peanut Butter Dip

As made famous by Teresa Fulwider (I have to giver her all the credit as she invented this!)
1 16 oz jar creamy peanut butter
2 small containers of extra creamy cool whip
a couple TBS of honey
Mix it all up with a hand mixer.
Sooooo yummy! Serve with celery, apple slices, graham cookies, etc.
My friend made this for the Primary kids on Sunday. Everyone, adults included, loved it. One little girl was actually carrying the bowl around licking it.
