I made this for our first Christmas Party and it was a huge hit --next time I will make a double batch!
One 8 oz. bar of cream cheese
One 7 oz. jar of marshmallow fluff
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Let the cream cheese sit out for a bit to let it soften. Add first three ingredients and blend, then add in sugar and blend until smooth. Suggestions for dippers: apple slices, strawberries, graham crackers, pretzels.

Avocado Salsa
I love guacamole, but here is a healthier version that's still great for parties - or using as a topping for tacos, nachos, chicken - and it's so delicious!
2 diced avocados (unlike when making guacamole, you want them to be slightly firm rather than super mushy)
2 diced tomatoes
1 can corn (drained and rinsed) - fresh or frozen would also be delicious!
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
Fresh chopped cilantro
Italian Dressing to taste - I usually use 3/4 c.
Mix first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over the top and toss. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping.

Mini Quiches
I made these for Katie's bridal shower. Yum!
Pie Crust
(Buy refrigerated or make your own)
2 eggs
1/2 c cream, half and half or whole milk
1/2 c 2% or skim milk
1 c shredded cheddar (or swiss) cheese
1 c diced mushrooms
1 c or 1/2 diced green pepper
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (i use turkey bacon, gasp)
Start with a mini muffin pan and preheat your oven to 350. Use a circle cookie cutter to cut circles out of your uncooked pie crust. Use little circles to line each muffin cup in the tin; then bake for about 10 min (check at about 8). Take out of oven, and sprinkle a little bit of shredded cheese in the bottom of each "pie".
Now to saute the veggies. Start with about a tablespoon of olive oil in the pan. When hot, saute peppers and mushrooms. Add salt and pepper. When veggies are soft, add in bacon (you could also use sausage or some other meat). Turn off heat, and add mixture by small spoonfuls to the mini pies. Make a custard mixture by mixing eggs, cream and milk. Pour the custard over the veggies by spoonful - don't overfill. Sprinkle a little more cheese on the tops, and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Makes 24 mini quiches.
