Feta Dip

⅓ cup (about that ) olive oil
1.5-2 containers of cherry tomatoes, seeded and cut in quarters
4-5 green onions, sliced thinly
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2-3 teaspoons Greek seasoning
fresh baguette, sliced thinly

1. On a large platter drizzle olive oil until you have a thin layer on the entire platter. You may use more or less here depending on your preference.
2. Add the tomatoes, green onions, and feta on top of the olive oil. Sprinkle with the Greek seasoning to taste.
3. With a spoon carefully combine the ingredients.
4. Serve with warm sliced baguettes for scooping up the dip.

LAYERED TACO DIP

1 pkg cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 tbsp taco seasoning
3-6 leaves of lettuce (I usually do 4)
1 tomato cored(seeds removed) and diced
1 cup salsa (more or less to your tastes)
1 ½ c shredded cheese
Drizzle of taco sauce OR hot sauce (we like tapatio)

1. Shred the cheese and scoop seeds out of tomato (so it doesnt get watery).

2. Put the cream cheese in the bowl of a food processor and mix until smooth. Add the sour cream and taco seasoning and mix until well combined.

3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the bottom of a glass baking dish. Top with the lettuce, salsa, tomatoes,then with the shredded cheese and taco sauce/hot sauce(optional). Chill until the cheese firms back up a bit, about 30 minutes. (Or it it right away!)

* You can also add ground beef, onions, jalapeƱo, peppers, beans, avacodo etc.

*Instead of sour cream (or to do half and half) you can use plain yogurt, cottage cheese, mayo
