Marshmallow & Cream Cheese Dip

Jeff’s family made this all the time growing up, and I love it–especially with apples. You could consider it an appetizer or dessert, since it’s such a sweet and delicious thing to serve with fruit. You can also make it more festive by adding food coloring–we colored it green for St. Patrick’s Day.

And this one is naturally gluten free–just serve it with fruit and stay away from graham crackers.

Seven Layer Bean Dip

The best part is the seasoned sour cream.

If you’re making this gluten free, make sure to use a gluten free taco seasoning mix because many have wheat in them. I know for sure that McCormick and Kroger don’t have gluten, or you can make your own taco seasoning mix.

Dill Dip

Growing up, we always had Dill Dip at Thanksgiving with the relish tray. Haha, we probably consumed most of it before dinner with carrot sticks, just as an appetizer.

If you’re making it gluten free, this is naturally gluten free. BUT just make sure to use a brand new mayo jar or one that’s dedicated to be gluten free–otherwise, you could end up with bread crumbs from double-dipping to make previous sandwiches.

Directions

Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate. Best if made the night before.


Sausage Dip

Whenever we take this to parties, it always gets eaten quickly. Just bring the chips or cucumber slices, and you’ve got a great appetizer for any Super Bowl Party, New Year’s Party, or Church potluck. It does tend to get pretty thick, so you may eventually need to add some water or milk.

And hurray, it’s naturally gluten free! Just serve it with naturally gluten free tortilla chips.
