Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip & Easy Veggie Dip

I made these two dips last night for our pot luck supper. Larry is so blessed to work with such a great group of people, and I love being able to call all of them my friends, as well! The food was all absolutely wonderful!! Larry made Mark's Smoked Pork Tenderloin, and everyone brought tons of great dishes to accompany it. I have requested all the recipes!! I'll share them as they are passed along to me. I am going to post everything according to category, so that I can label them. Hopefully, this will aid in our finding them later!

Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip

I think you will either really like this, or you'll really not like it. It has that sweet and savory mixture of flavors that some folks really like, and other folks really don't like. It's quick and easy!!

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Serve with crackers.

Easy Veggie Dip

This is "ranch-like." We all really like it!

1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. sour cream
2 tsp. dill weed
2 tbsp. parsley
3 tbsp. minced onion

Mix all together, chill and dip with fresh veggies! I served it with carrot sticks, grape tomatoes, celery sticks, cauliflower, and broccoli.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant! When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

They were a hit! These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
