    With super bowl comming up soon I'm sure there will be some good recipes to surface[;)]

    This one is simple but oh so good!
    1/2-can no bean chillie
    1-block cream cheese
    mix together well and serve with Doretos!


    I also like avacado dip that is almost 100% avacado, not that sour cream stuff they sell in the stores.  I just mash up avacados, add spices-minced garlic, season all, whatever spices you like.  Not really a recipe but I just love avacados- I could eat them like an apple once the skin is removed[:)]

    If you want a really easy but really good dip to use with ruffles... Mix one packet of onion soup mix into a 16oz. container of sour cream
