**SPINACH DIP**

Another secret thats not so secret... Ivy's favorite spinach dip is straight off of the back of Knorrs Vegetable soup mix (easy to find at most grocery stores). This stuff is so good with some authentic california sourdough bread!!





The recipe is as follows:



1 package (10 oz.) baby spinach, chopped or 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 container (16 oz.) sour cream
1 cup Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise
1 package Knorr® Vegetable recipe mix
1 can (8 oz.) water chestnuts, drained and chopped (optional)
3 green onions, chopped (optional)





Combine all ingredients and chill about 2 hours. Serve only to your favorite people.

Aunt Suzie's Cheese Toasts

Well, we figured that to ensure this blog's success we had to start things off with a knock out recipe. If you've been over to the Glen and Amy Sellers' house in recent years for Christmas Eve, you've probably tried (and loved) the toasty, cheesy appetizers passed around hot out of the oven. They literally melt in your mouth. Our Aunt Suzie (Wiley) introduced us to them long ago and we can never seem to get enough (or make enough, for that matter).

Here goes:

1/2 c. mayonnaise
4 green onions chopped top to bottom
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. beaumond seasoning
1/2 c. mozzarella
1 c. extra sharp cheddar cheese
1-2 baguettes, thinly sliced

Mix all ingredients together. Spread onto baguette slices (a little bit can go a long way if you have a lot of people to feed).

Broil in oven, watching carefully for cheese to bubble (they are easy to burn). Remove, cool for a minute and serve.
