Re-Post: New Year's Eve Celebrating appetizer suggestions.
The Fourth of July will be here in a few weeks so I'm thinking ahead and sharing some easy new and old dip recipes. I'll share some others closer to the holiday.
Thinking what to serve my guests has always been a chore for me. I want different, I want easy and I want it to be tasty. I imagine one of the above reasons is why I hesitant to entertain. Today I am offering a few new dips that you may like to try. I haven't had a chance to make any of them but found them interesting. Fresh basil and mint are needed to make them garden tasty. Enjoy!
If you don't find yourself to be as adventuresome also I'll include a few links to my oldie but goodie favorites.

Mint Julep Dip
