I am looking for dips...a potential hostess would like a dip show...lol...any ideas?
 
cold taco dip in the rectangle chillzanne!! served with tortillas. (I don't know measurements, I just make!) Wrap cooled pack in alum. foil (to avoid staining + fill in the corners) ...make taco meat as usual and chill. then spread on bottom of chillzanne. layer sour cream then salsa...then veggies (gr. peppers, blk. olives, lettuce and whatever else) ...then sprinkled cheese....everyone loves it!!!
 
Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip is my ABSOLUTE favorite. Everyone always raves about it. I also love the Touchdown Taco Dip and Buffalo Chicken Dip.
YUM!
 
If you click on files in the menu bar you can search on dip and you will find a master list "Master List for PC Dip Recipies.doc"

I really can't believe that TKG didn't chime in on this one! :D

Seriously though, have you thought about our Chipotle Ranch Seasoning mix? It's pretty good on both canape bread and veggies. Plus, it could be a great add-on sale, pair it with some SA bowls and the scalloped bread tube.
 
My Heaven on a Cracker recipe is around here somewhere, if you want to search for it-- it's real good!
 
I just did that salsa/guacamole duo recipe in All the Best cookbook and it was a huge hit! It's cold not hot but my host used some of the salsa I made for the taco dip she prepared. LOL
 
dipping theme partyi got this off of my other site that I love. I hope this is something helpful to you.

Thanks for sharing the entertaining dip file with us it looks great.
 
Touchdown taco was a hit when we had friends over :D
 
I love the Dill Dip using our Dill Mix. Also, instead of the dip, just mix with cream cheese, and serve with crackers as a spread. I make this all the time! SIMPLE SIMPLE! And delish!

This gets my vote too.

LOVE the Hot Pizza Dip. There's another thread where I mention the "wreath" bread my cluster makes for this - very festive.
There are sooooo many great PC dips, and this is the perfect season to demo some. Hot dips are a fairly classy appetizer for the holidays.
 
when I do the layered Taco dip on my chillzanne server instead of foil I arrange red tip curly lettuce leaves on the bottom then my toppings.

I just did the Warm Chicken Curry Dip for all my shows in October. It was a HUGE hit!! It's in the s/s '06 SB.

I had to respond. I thought at first you were addressing me personally. :D

I've had great response with both the Layered Sun-Dried Tomato Dip and the BLT dip. Both are fast, cheap, and easy!

Don't forget to make the Chipotle Ranch dip and the Zesty Guacomole -- since I started making those for shows I have been selling them like crazy!!

Hey Ann, I've lost count of how many times I've told the old joke, "If you are what you eat, I'm fast, cheap, and easy."
 
The dill seasoning makes an awesome dip also. Not a good one for a demo though.

I used to use that line all the time at my shows. It never ceased to amaze me how many people thought it was funny. I thought it was a little cheesy, but then, it's kind of a consultant joke. And because we hear it all the time, we forget that some people haven't.
