Knorrs Spinach dip is a good one. I've always had good luck with that one. Another one that has been a HUGE hit is a VERY easy one. Warning: it sounds disgusting but everyone LOVES it! 1 jar of green olives and 2 blocks of cream cheese. I put the green olives in the food processor and then add the cream cheese in there to blend it all together. That's it! SUPER easy and everyone loves it and wants the recipe.
Summer Sangria
1 liter white wine
1 lemon or lime, thinly sliced
3-4 tablespoons sugar or honey (I think sugar works better)
1 peach, fresh and ripe, sliced into thin wedges
1 seedless orange, thinly sliced
4-5 sprigs fresh mint
Mix the wine and lemon slices with sugar or honey, and stir until dissolved. Add the peach, orange slices and mint. Makes 1 1/2 quarts.
(You can throw in any fresh fruit that you happen to have. We've used berries, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, even figs.)
Red Sangria
2 orangs
1 lemon
1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
fifth of burgundy (750 mL)
8-10 ounces club soda
Ice
Cut one of the oranges, the lemon and the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juices from the fruits into a pitcher and add the rinds and sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon. Add wine and soda and mix well. Pour into tall, ice-filled glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice from the second orange. Serves 6.
I love entertaining and trying new things. Can I come to your get-together? :-) Have fun!
