Lesley's Feta Spread

I remember the first time I tried this spread, I was surprised by the amount of flavour in something that looked so unassuming!  This mixture is packed with tangy, garlicy flavour and has made frequent appearances at our Goodberry Family Christmas parties over the past few years.  It definitely doesn't fall into the category of light or low calorie but who's counting during the holiday season anyway????

Ingredients
1 cup of butter
1 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
1 pkg of cream cheese, softened
2-3 cloves of garlic, crushed (I say the more, the better!!!)

Combine the ingredients until well blended. 
This will make a large enough batch to be divided .... serve one and freeze the other for the next get together!
Serve with crackers and a breath mint ;-)

Spinach Dip

This is a "go to" holiday recipe that was taken to many Goodberry family Christmas parties over the years.  Although it is easy to throw together, this dip is best made a few hours or preferably the day before to let all the flavours release. Don't forget to thaw the spinach before you start, watery dip is never hit.  Carve out the center of a pumpernickel loaf and cube up the bread.  Right before serving scoop the dip into the hollowed out loaf bowl and place on a tray surrounded by the cubed bread.  I always buy extra pumpernickel buns just to make sure there is enough to scoop up all the yummy dip!

Ingredients
1 pkg of frozen spinach (thawed ahead of time)
1 cup of sour cream
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 large pkg of Knorr Vegetable Soup mix
1-2 cloves of fresh minced garlic

Mix and refrigerate until serving.
