Pineapple Cream Cheese Dip

I know a lot of bloggers write huge posts telling tales of adventures and a lot of times I just want a recipe and scrolling down a post gets to be very tiresome so you will find that most of my blog posts are short and sweet...that's the way I believe my readers like them. To the point! immediately.  Enjoy!

I went to our garden lunch on Saturday and it was a pot luck picnic type luncheon.  I decided a quick dip would work fine for this.  I had been thinking of what I would bring to this and decided that I had basically everything to make the below recipe.  

Both hubby and I taste tested it with pretzel thins and vanilla wafers.  I loved the pretzel thins (a little salt to compliment the sweet in the dip. He thought vanilla wafers might be a good option. 

I decided to do half pretzel and half wafer.  

The results were the pretzel thins were the favorite.  

This is one the of tastiest and super easy appetizers for summer parties.
