Pup cakes, I found a cheesy corn dip on Jill Bauers blog, the video with Laura Gellar and I tried it last weekend for a get together and it was great!!!! It's very simple so look on her YHJ blog. The only thing I will do different next time is use less corn and I may try to add some hot sauce to spice it up a little. Have a great 4th!!!

Everyone loves this when I serve it. Red Pepper Jelly, Cream Cheese and Crackers. So simple too. A bowl of red pepper jelly or hot pepper jelly, a bowl of cream cheese, and a platter of crackers. Put a spreader in each bowl and set the bowls on a platter with the crackers. They disappear fast.

Thank you!

Edamole: A Mexican Edamame Dip

This easy Mexican dip is a great alternative to Guacamole for anyone watching their weight or for those who don't like avocadoes.

Ingredients

water

12 ounces of shelled frozen edamame beans

½ cup cilantro (leaf coriander) leaves

¼ cup lime juice

¼ cup chopped onion

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp minced jalapeno pepper (optional)

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp ground coriander seed

a pinch of sugar

1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Bring two cups of water to a boil. Plop in the beans. Bring the pot back up to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn off heat and cover the pot. Let it sit until the beans are soft, 7-9 minutes.

Drain the beans.

2. Put all of the remaining ingredients except for the olive oil into a blender. Add ¼ cup of water. Blend until very smooth. Add the olive oil and blend until it is well-combined.

This is always popular no matter where I take it.I get my pepper jelly at trader joes. The thing I do differently is put softened cream cheese block into a dish and pour pepper jelly over it. I also like the pepper jelly with grilled meat.

I posted THIS dip a while back. I still make it. It's wonderful and easy!

Happy 4th!

Carmelized Onion Dip from Alton Brown - Use sweet Vidalia onions for this...it's simple and fantastic - you'll NEVER buy pre-made onion dip again!

Hi terrier & Ladies,

While I've not made this one, I do make a caramelized onion dip (I think I got it out of a book called Skinny Dips) and it is FANTASTIC! I am not even an onion dip girl, but it's so fresh and delicious.

Hi pupcakes - I've been making this for years, super simple and people STILL love it.

Hot Taco dip

8 oz block of cream cheese

1 jar Salsa (I use thick and chunky - medium)

8 oz block of pepper jack cheese shredded (or if you can find it pre-shredded, easier yet)

Black olives (optional)

Layer cream cheese, salsa, cheese then olives, cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 5 minutes, and serve with tortilla chips. Careful removing the plastic wrap, it gets really hot! I use a quiche dish, fits perfectly. Enjoy!
