I am going to do the Garlic Pull Aparts in the Deep Dish Pie Plate and heat the pizza sauce for dipping in the Mini-Oval Baker.
 
Hot Pizza DipHot Pizza Dip

1 8 oz. package cream cheese softened
1 t. dried Italian seasoning
1 C. mozzarella cheese shredded
3/4 C. parmesan cheese
1 8 oz. can pizza sauce
2 T. green pepper chopped
2 T. green onions sliced

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine cream cheese and Italian seasonings , spread onto a 8" mini-baker.

In a small bowl, combine mozzarella and parmesan. Sprinkle 1/2 on top of the cream cheese. Spread pizza sauce over the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with bell pepper and green onions. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Serve with French bread or fresh vegetable dippers.



Preheat oven to 350° F.
 
Here is a favorite of mine for the Fall Season....Spiced Pumpkin Pie Spread.

¼ cup pecan halves
4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese 1 can (15 oz) solid pack pumpkin
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¾ cup miniature marshmallows
2 red or green apples

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coarsely chop pecans using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add pumpkin, brown sugar and spice blend; mix well. Spoon mixture into Small Oval Baker using Small Mix ‘N Scraper. Top with marshmallows and pecans.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until marshmallows are light golden brown. Cut apples into wedges using Crinkle Cutter or Apple Wedger. Serve warm with apple wedges and Cinnamon Pastry Wedges, if desired. (Cinnamon Pastry Wedge recipe is in the Fall/Winter 2004 copy of the Season’s Best Collection.)

These go great to do the dipping with:

Sweet & Crispy Tortilla Chips

8 (7") flour tortillas (I usually add cinnamon to mine for this dip)

Preheat oven to 400*. Lightly spray tortillas with water using Kitchen Spritzer; sprinkle with sugar. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges using Pizza Cutter; arrange half of the tortilla wedges in a single layer on Large Round Stone.
Bake 8-10 mins or until edges are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from baking stone; cool completely. Repeat with remaining tortilla wedges.

Yeild: 64 chips (16 servings)

How many does this serve? I'm looking for recipes, too. I have a show on Monday that may have quite a few people there (15+ I'm thinking).

Thanks,

Mexican Bean Dip (It's Good For You Cookbook - page 19) and Lime Tortillas are great. I put this info on the thread about Theme Shows. My guests just love it. I am doing three show back to back at the end of the month that they all want my dip show. (4 different dips)
