Dips are a major weakness of mine, I’ll be honest. Spoiling my appetite by eating too much dip before dinner is almost its own holiday tradition at this point! And since I know that I’m hardly the only one who has a weakness for dips, I thought I’d put together a list of some of our all-time favorites to share with you! If you’re hosting or attending any holiday parties in the next few days, any one of these dips will make an excellent addition to the food spread. In addition to parties, if you have guests staying with you over the holidays, it can be nice to have a dip or two stored in the fridge that your guests can snack on between meals. Whatever your reason for making them, these dips are sure to satisfy!

Your Mexican corn dip made me think of a Mexican corn salad I had this summer and is addicting too!
CORN SALAD:
2 cans DRAINED Mexican corn (or also used Del Monte Southwestern)
Up to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (must be mayonnaise)
** Up to 1 bag Chili Cheese Fritos (crushed – does not have to be fine)
You mix the drained corn and mayonnaise beforehand, but do not add the Fritos until just before you serve.
Looks different but it’s delicious!!!
Mahumurrah(sp?) dip combine roasted red peppers cooked eggplant crushed red pepper flakes and walnuts in a food processor pulse until chunky . This dip taught to me by my friend Seta it is delicious with wedges of whole wheat pita bread!
Salmon roe sour cream and finely diced white onions. This dip taught to me by my friend Sharon is great on table water crackers and perfect with champagne for New Years!
I’m looking forward to trying your corn dip.
The Mexican Corn Dip looks yummy! Can’t wait to try it.
Your dips look delish.Three days ago I cut up a bottom round roast into steaks.
Ok I tried your recipe for making steaks the best. I coated both sides with sea salt. Two days past so we finally found a day to eat them last night. I rinsed off the salt and dried them well. My husband cooked them out on the grill. Oh my goodness was i eating a filet mignon..no, but the taste and ease of cutting were out of this world. Thank you thank you ..I have been reading your daily ideas. Have a happy holiday season
A staple in my hone is hummus. We eat it with carrots & other veggies as well as w/tortilla chips. I just throw 3 cups cooked garbanzo beans, 6 Tbs tahini, 3 medium cloves garlic, 6 Tbs. lemon juice, salt & a cayenne pepper to taste in the Cuisinart and puree it to smooth, thick dip. If it’s too thick, a little water can be added to thin it out. Ready to enjoy in no time.
Baked Potato Dip
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Green onions, chopped
Bacon bits, real bacon
And anything else you’d put on a baked potato
Mix all well. It’s best if it sits in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Eat with your favorite potato chips.
Yum!
Oehh that artichoke dip looks so good!
