Dips and Appetizers

I thought I'd bump this topic up to see if there are any more great ideas. I'm going to our lovey (

) local beach, Galveston, with 8 other ladies this weekend. We are renting a couple of condos and I know it will be fun, in spite of the ugly water, seaweed, stench, tar, jelleyfish, etc. We decided to eat out at night and do appetizers for lunch. I am leaning towards nothintolose's spinach and artichoke dip and mia's fruit dish. I just thought I'd see if anyone has any new ideas that are to die for before I go to the store tomorrow. I've also been assigned to margarita duty, so I'm taking the easy way out and getting one of those buckets. Maybe two.

Oh man, Tom, I love that dip. I could eat my weight in that stuff and probably have.

I like the extra spicy Rotels. Thanks for the reminder. Even I can't screw up that recipe.

If you like Rotel then try this one: two blocks of cream cheese, one pound of sausage and one can of Rotel. Mix all together and bake for about 20 mins. Serve with Fritos scoops.

I made Mia's fruit dip the other night for a get-together. I almost didn't since I typically like my fruit straight--the usual marshmallow fluff dips aren't something I like. Her brown sugar dip, however, was delicious! I had more than one person ask me for the recipe and all were surprised that it contained brown sugar. Yummy!

Got this recipe from a friend...

Mexican Cheesecake

16 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 packages of taco seasoning (recipe calls for Lawry's)
2 cups sour cream (separate)
3 eggs
2 cups shredded cheddar
4 oz can chopped green chilies
1 cup picante

Mix cream cheese, 1 c. sour cream, taco seasoning, then eggs one at a time. Add chilies and cheese. (I added 2 or 3 T chopped olives this time) Pour mixture in a springform pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Cool and refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, spoon/spread remaining sour cream on top of cake then picante on top of that.

Serve with corn chips.
