Jalapeno Popper Dip

This dip is great for parties and family gatherings.  I have officially been nominated to bring this to everything for the rest of my life.  We even served it at our wedding!  It truly does taste like the jalapeno poppers that have cream cheese filling.

1 packages softened cream cheese
1 cup mayo
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles (drained)
1 (4 oz) can diced jalapenos (drained)
3/4 cup parmesan cheese

Stir together cream cheese and mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth.  (I use a hand mixer)  Stir in the green chiles and jalapeno peppers.  Stir in parmesan cheese or you can save some for topping.  Place in a small baking dish.  Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.

This can be served with tortilla chips but I prefer to serve it with toasted slices of French bread

Cucumber Dip

1 whole Cucumber, peeled and diced
1 package cream cheese (use the full fat, otherwise it's not as good)
1 cup sour cream
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Dill (I'm guesstimating on this because I really just do it to taste, but I use a lot)
Salt

After peeling and dicing cucumber, sprinkle generously with salt, let sit for about 5 minutes. Mix all other ingredients together until smooth. Fold in cucumber. Serve with Pita Chips!

Mexican Dip
1Package softened cream cheese (pop that sucker in the microwave for about 15 sec)
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 jar salsa
1 can mexicali corn
A couple of dollups of sour cream
Cilantro to taste

Mix it all together and eat it with tortilla chips. This recipe can also be heated in the oven or microwave and eaten warm. Either way it's GOOOOD.
