I origianally started putting my recipes in my story blog, but have since decided to move them to their own space, so this was actually written awhile back...
Day 2 of being snowed iced
in here in North Dallas! Us Texans are STUCK at home! Lucky for us my
parents live 1/2 mile away, along with one sister in law and her
family, and my brother's family is 15 miles north...they ventured our
way in the ice to celebrate their son's 2nd birthday! So, Aunt Jess
tried two new recipes...here's the first one!! It's so easy and was a
HUGE hit, so I wanted to share it with you!
Ingredients for Cake Dip:
- Cake Mix of your choice - I used Vanilla because I wanted to use Christmas colored sprinkles to add to it
- Plain Yogurt
- Cool Whip
- Sprinkles - the larger ones to mix in to add some color
- Graham cracker squares or sticks to dip with - I found small Graham cracker squares, they were perfect
Pour
the entire cake box powder into a bowl, add all of the Cool Whip and
then mix in the yogurt (I used almost 1/2 of the container)...taste as
you go, you may like more or less yogurt.
Last mix in the larger sprinkles to add some color to it. I topped mine off with some smaller sprinkles as well!
This
is only HALF of the dip, I froze half of the dip for a later date....took it out of the freezer the day before I needed it to thaw in the fridge...and served - it was just as FABULOUS as it was the day I made it...just top it off with some more sprinkles!
I
love changing things up a bit to make them my own....so, I merged a corn
dip recipe my mother in law made and one I found on Pinterest, to
create my own recipe! This was a huge hit at my nephew's birthday
celebration the other day....the family devoured it, and I thought for
sure there would be left overs! HA!
Corn Dip
Ingredients:
2 cans of Mexi-Corn (drained)
2 cans of green chili's
1 can of diced tomatoes (drained)
1 1/2 cups of shredded Mexican Cheese

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
Jimmy Dean sausage (browned & drained) ** optional (it's yummy with or without)
Salt (I used kosher salt) & Pepper to taste

Heat
oven to 375* - Brown the Jimmy Dean sausage and drain off fat - Mix all ingredients together - grease your baking dish (I
used a 6x10 dish) - bake for 25-35 minutes (should be browning on the
top and bubbly on the sides...adjust cooking time based on your oven and
your liking) - Serve with chips
