Hey dips, the club is open
And we're posting dip recipes, if you couldn't tell. Hot or cold dips will do! New Year's Eve is tomorrow night and I'm sure there will be no shortage of dip recipes needed!
Our Featured Cookie is no dip...Michele already posted her Featured Recipes and they rock!!
Making this short and sweet because a) this browser is not easy to maneuver and post hyperlinks and b) I'm hungry.
HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES!!

Re: Hey dips, the club is open
This is Janine's recipe, but I must rave about it: Bacon Bleu Cheese Dip
This of course is a must have: Buffalo Chicken Dip
This just looks insane: Cowboy Beef Dip
This Roasted Eggplant Spread sounds good to me. Too bad Brian doesn't like onions. I wonder if I could substitute shallots and still get a great tasting dip... Hmm...
Then, this Shore Is Good Seafood Dip also sounds good!
Here's a Three Cheese Hot Artichoke Dip by Paula Deen. Artichokes and cheese? Yes please!!
And, I just love this one! Easy Tzatziki with Toasted Pita Crisps (my sister's MIL makes Tzatziki w/ just sour cream, but I've got to give this recipe a try). Yum!
i'm not a big dip fan but i really liked robin's White Pizza Dip
this is my family's favorite:
seven layer dip
I'm making this tomorrow!
