Directions
1 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.
2 A blender or baby food grinder will give you a smoother consistency than whipping with a fork.
3 Add garlic powder to taste.
4 Refrigerate in a covered container.
5 Dip it again 1 (8 oz) container of plain yogurt 1 cup sour cream 1 pkg onion soup mix combine and chill before serving.
6 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.
7 For use as salad dressing, substitute a second cup of buttermilk for the sour cream or yogurt.
8 Hint: use cucumber "coins" instead of crackers.
9 Other quick dippies that make up in small quantities: * blend 1/3 to ½ of a mashed banana with 2 or 3 tsps of mayonnaise.
10 * whipe together 1 tsp of smooth peanut butter with 1 tsp of mayonnaise.
11 If still too thick, add a few drops of milk.
12 * mix ½ tsp of lemon juice and ½ tsp of honey or sugar to 1 or 2 tsp of mayonnaise.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Actually thinking of snacks as hors d"oeuvres - rather than desserts ~ will open up a whole new way of looking at this category.
