Spinach Dip
I chose this recipe as a second one to make for one of my team mates in our monthly recipes swaps. This is a super easy dip to make and it has a wonderful end result. I made this on the weekend for a BBQ were I was having 30 people over. It got rave reviews and lots of requests for the recipe. I made it the night before to allow all the flavours to come through and served it with bread, chips and lots of veggies to dip in it. I am the first one to review this and the only change I made was not to add water chestnuts as I did not have any and am not a big fan. To view the original recipe please click here.

Spiced Carrot Dip

This is a quick easy dip that is healthy and light, it is a great recipe to put out, prior to a meal, for guests to pick at or as something to snack on. I made this on the weekend as I had my family over for my sisters birthday. I have also made this along with other dips when I have had 20-30 people over for a party, as something to snack on, while I am getting together the main affair.
