A couple of years ago, we were visiting my sister at holiday time, and sampled a delicious dip made by my niece. I don't know where she got the recipe - maybe the Internet - but she shared it with me. It's a favorite with all the family. Here it is:
EASY CHEESE DIP
1 pkg. ranch dip mix
2 pkg. chive and onion cream cheese
Seasoned pepper blend
Mix dip mix and cream cheese until well blended. Top with pepper blend.
Another favorite of the family is Italian Cream Cheese Ball. There are probably dozens of recipes for this, but the following is one that Mother and I experimented with until we got exactly the flavors we wanted:
ITALIAN CREAM CHEESE BALL
8 oz. cream cheese
1 chopped fresh green onion
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature, then mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. The cheese ball improves with age.
The dip and cheese ball are good served with varieties of snack crackers or with raw veggies.
