Chocolate Chip Dip

This recipe comes from Sarah C, a follower on Facebook. Thank you for sharing it with us. I love this dip. It is a little dangerous as I could eat it by the spoonful.

Ingredients
1 stick butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 tbsp vanilla
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 bad mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Your favorite cookie, graham cracker, etc

Directions
Mix all ingredients and chill until ready to serve. I have also seen people roll it into a ball with wax paper and after it is well chilled you remove the wax paper and serve it like a cheese ball. Serve with vanilla wafers, graham crackers, or other cookie/ wafer.

7 oz jar marshmallow fluff

Hummus

I don't know about you, but I love hummus. I could eat it everyday. Actually I eat it several times a week for lunch. My mom makes the best hummus in the world. She learned to make it many years ago & has perfected it.

Ingredients
16 oz can Garbanzo beans aka chickpeas (reserve liquid)
1/2 c Tahini (a paste made from crushed sesame seeds- can be found at most grocery stores)
Juice of 2 lemons
1/4 c olive oil
2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, crushed

Directions
Put chickpeas in blender. Add a little of the reserved liquid. Blend. Add garlic. Blend. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend. If too thick, add a little more of the reserved liquid & blend. Put hummus on a platter & drizzle lightly with olive oil. Chill until ready to serve. We like to serve ours with pita bread & banana peppers. You can also serve with toasted pine nuts and/or olives.
