Would you be in a position to heat some up? I have a great recipe for a bride cheese dip! Just had it Sunday as a matter of fact! Let me see if I can find the link,or else I can type it in tomorrow. It has an apple, cranberries, cinnamon, butter and a little bit of brown sugar along with Brie cheese.

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F.

Coarsely chop apple with food processor. Combine apple, almonds, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl and mix gently. Stir in butter just until ingredients are moistened.

Cut Brie in half horizontally. Place one half of Brie, rind side down, on pan. Spoon half of the apple mixture onto bottom half of Brie, spreading evenly. Top with remaining half of Brie, rind side up. Spoon remaining apple mixture over top. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is soft and just begins to melt. Serve with toasted French bread, apple wedges or assorted crackers.

Yield: 8 servings
HELPFUL HINTS
Brie is a French cheese known for its soft texture and downy, white rind. When preparing Brie, leave the rind on the cheese. The entire cheese is edible , including the rind.

Golden raisins or dried cherries can be substituted for dried cranberries, if desired.

Tomato dunk. All measurements are approximate:
2 baskets "baby" tomatoes (Santa Sweets, Cherubs, cherry tomatoes... you know what I mean)
2 or 3 tablespoons of minced sweet onion
2 or 3 garlic cloves, minced
Maybe 20 oily black olives (pitted- I get them at the grocery store on an olive bar)
Put all of this in a big ziplock bag and add some good olive oil, balsamic vinegar, some ground black pepper and maybe a teaspoon of sugar. You could shake on some dried basil or oregano if you want. Make sure there's enough oil/vinegar to coat all the tomatoes.
Pour all of this out on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Bake at 375-400 degrees for maybe 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes split and the "juices" thicken up a bit.
Put everything in a bowl and squoosh it up with a fork. Serve with toasted slices of baguette (I brush baguette slices with olive oil/garlic powder, then toast in the oven... or I buy them in the bakery section of the grocery store, already sliced/toasted if I'm short on time or lazy, LOL!), or sliced baguette (soft), crackers, etc.

Pizza bombs -

Take cresent rolls and put a few slices of pepperoni in there and 1/2 a stick of string cheese - fold up and put in a cupcake pan. Bake 400 until browned. Serve with a side of pizza sauce. Taken from pinterest and it was a huge hit at a party I had in the fall.

Also take a block of cream cheese, flatten down the middle of it, pour some carmel in the midde, top with nuts and put apple slices around the side. Very yummy!

I love this super simple Greek/ Feta dip. Just serve with a couple of crusty, sliced baguettes. Really yummy.


INGREDIENTS:

• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3-4 (about 1 1/2 cups) Roma tomatoes, chopped
• 2 green onions or a bunch of chives, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
• 8 ounces feta cheese
• 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
• White or regular balsamic vinegar (optional)
• Sliced baguette for serving

DIRECTIONS:

1. Drizzle the olive oil over a plate or platter. Add the tomatoes and green onions or chives and crumble the feta cheese over the top. Sprinkle on the Greek seasoning and toss lightly to combine. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, if using (just a teaspoon or so to start – add more to taste).
2. Serve the dip with soft, sliced baguettes (pita chips are delicious, too).

Here's a basic recipe but this is always popular.

These are always popular and easy to throw together ahead of time. I use Wishbone Robusto Italian dressing for the tortellini (use refrigerated, not frozen, yes it makes a difference.) Can sub whatever you have and feel go together. I use mozzerella and halved grape tomatoes instead of cheddar. Also lightly sprinkle extra dressing over the platter before serving.

Super easy spinach dip that is great - I serve it with Wheat Thins, but it could be served with most anything

1 container sour cream
1 pkg frozen, plain spinach
1 pkg powered ranch dressing mix.

Thaw the spinach and squeeze all the extra water out, mix it with the sour cream and ranch.

These are super simple and very popular. Everyone, from my food snob aunt to my meat-n-potatoes inlaws, loves them!

--1 pkg crescent dough
--1 pkg Boursin cheese, softened
--1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon (optional)

Preheat oven to 375. Unroll crescent dough and go over it with a rolling pin to thin it out and fuse seams together. Spread Boursin evenly over dough and top with bacon crumbles, if using. Roll lengthwise, jellyroll-style. Cut into 1" pieces (kitchen shears work well for this) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 13-15 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 24 rollups and they're good hot or room temperature.

I found this one online that sounded good. I plan on making it tomorrow for Bill and I.

I like simple -
french baguette cut into slices
put Gorgonzola cheese on the slices
heat in the oven til it melts
drizzle honey over it and serve

These are delicious and take no time to make.

I make an easy cheese ball with about equal parts brick cream cheese and shredded cheese. (You can shred your own or use the packaged if you're in a hurry. Cheddar is always a hit, but I've used Swiss, Gouda, pepper jack...pretty much anything.)

Take the cream cheese out to soften up a bit. Mix with the shredded cheese. Form into a ball (or log) and roll in whatever coating you like - crumbled bacon bits, chopped walnuts or pecans...(This year, we had a guest with a nut allergy, and I crushed up the French-fried onions you use for green bean casserole. - It was a big hit!) Serve with any crackers you like.

(Leftovers are great on bagels, too!)

 

[PollyannaMom]

Another cream cheese one -

Soften the cream cheese and spread it over a plate. Mix a can of tiny shrimp (drained) with cocktail sauce and pour over the top. - My mom always served this one with Triscuits, but I like Ritz as well.

I've also done this with crab meat instead of shrimp. Equally yummy!

It's too late now, but I've made a really good bacon-wrapped fresh jalapeno popper...very savory...
