Dippy Snacks Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, , softened
1 cup cottage cheese
Recipe Preparation
With carrots, celery, green pepper strips, cucumber slices, cherry
tomatoes, cauliflower pieces or crackers, try any of the following:
CHEESE SPREAD
garlic powder
Blend shortening with cottage cheese. A blender or baby food grinder
will give you a smoother consistency than whipping with a fork. Add
garlic powder to taste. Refrigerate in a covered container.
DIP IT AGAIN
1 (8 oz) container of plain yogurt 1 cup sour cream 1 pkg onion soup
mix
Combine and chill before serving.
BETTER-WITH-BUTTERMILK DIP
1 cup buttermilk 2 cups mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream or yogurt 1
envelope Ranch style dressing mix
Stir together and chill. For use as salad dressing, substitute a
second cup of buttermilk for the sour cream or yogurt.
Hint: Use cucumber "coins" instead of crackers.
OTHER QUICK DIPPIES that make up in small quantities:
* Blend 1/3 to 1/2 of a mashed banana with 2 or 3 tsps of mayonnaise.
* Whipe together 1 tsp of smooth peanut butter with 1 tsp of
mayonnaise. If still too thick, add a few drops of milk.
* Mix 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of honey or sugar to 1 or 2
tsp of mayonnaise.
CUTTING UP WITH KIDS
Have your children help you cut up green onions, parsley, lettuce,
cheese slices, fruit, etc., using a scissors instead of a knife.
Using a scissors helps coordination (YES!) and keeps them busy for a
_long_ time!
CHERRY BALLS
Stuff whole (or half) cherry tomatoes with cream cheese, a cheese
spread, egg salad or tuna salad.

Its all the rage, but it is truly safe for you?

Superfoods containing lycopene
(includes apricot, red bell peppers & rosehip)
Lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring compound and one of the carotenid family. It is behind the dark red color of some fruit, vegetables and pulses.
Unlike numerous nutrients, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is truly improved by being heated.
