Recipe
Ingredients
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, , softened
1 cup cottage cheese
Recipe
Preparation

mix
Combine and chill before serving.

1 cup buttermilk 2 cups mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream or yogurt 1
envelope Ranch style dressing mix
Stir together and chill. For use as salad dressing, substitute a
second cup of buttermilk for the sour cream or yogurt.
Hint: Use cucumber "coins" instead of crackers.
OTHER QUICK DIPPIES that make up in small quantities:
* Blend 1/3 to 1/2 of a mashed banana with 2 or 3 tsps of mayonnaise.
* Whipe together 1 tsp of smooth peanut butter with 1 tsp of
mayonnaise. If still too thick, add a few drops of milk.
* Mix 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of honey or sugar to 1 or 2
tsp of mayonnaise.
CUTTING UP WITH KIDS
Have your children help you cut up green onions, parsley, lettuce,
cheese slices, fruit, etc., using a scissors instead of a knife.
Using a scissors helps coordination (YES!) and keeps them busy for a
_long_ time!
CHERRY BALLS
Stuff whole (or half) cherry tomatoes with cream cheese, a cheese
spread, egg salad or tuna salad.
Actually thinking of snacks as hors d'oeuvres - rather than desserts
