So Tuesday was the third and final day of Skinnies. My room was tore up because it was the second to last day of school. I got it together enough for the group of students to have a place to eat.

I’ve decided to join a blogging club called the Secret Recipe Club. Each month, we are given a blog to visit. We are to make one of the recipes from the blog. This month I was selected to visit The Spiffy Cookie.

About 15 years ago, my mother-in-law and father-in-law were on the Adkins diet. They created a dip/ dessert that we used to eat with cut strawberries. Their recipe contained sugar-free pudding. Usually, the pudding was either cheesecake-flavored or white chocolate flavored.
When I was a new teacher, I would make this recipe with regular pudding to take to carry-ins. One of the retired teachers loved this dip. She would request it every time there was a carry-in.
I posted this recipe back in 2010 when this blog was still new. I didn’t have any pictures to go along with the recipe. This would be a good side dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. You can serve it with a tray of fruit. That way, people can pick and choose their favorites.

Last night, Hubby and I had to attend a get-together for a possible new pastor. We ate dinner with other members of the Call Committee and their spouses.
I was to bring appetizers or finger food. A veggie tray was my first thought. I bought some red pepper hummus and pumpkin hummus for dipping. Since people don’t always like hummus, I made some ranch dressing, also. So right before we get ready to leave, I can’t find my veggie tray. (I was packing the veggies in containers to assemble them there.) We had to come up with a plan B. We ended up using one of my cake pans instead.
I also brought queso dip and tortilla chips. That was the real star. The host kept some of the dips while another took the remainder home. A third asked for the recipe. It is super easy to make!

Are you looking for an easy gift to give for Christmas or the holidays? This is an easy mix to whip up. Place in a fancy holiday bag with instructions and give to a friend or relative. (Or be like me and put it in a snack-sized bag with the instructions. I have an overabundance of sandwich/snack bags.)

I love chocolate chip cookies. Actually, I like most cookies. You might say cookies are my weakness! I mean dessert weakness. This dip reminds me of a chocolate chip cookie. Best of all, you don’t have to bake cookies to get deliciousness. 🙂
Now the question is, what should I dip into this yumminess! I’ve been dipping chocolate cat cookies from Trader Joe’s. Tomorrow I’m going to try dipping my sliced apples in the dip. That sounds absolutely divine.
Side note: Have you ever had someone obsessed with your food choices. I eat in my classroom and have limited time to eat. Today I was running late getting to eat because I had to print some papers and then talk to two other teachers. I was finishing my lunch when my four students came for social studies. They were intrigued by what I was eating. They would have been shocked to find out what was in the dip. (My students have seen my lunches many times. Fortunately, most of the time, it’s something fairly healthy. This way, I can be a good role model for them. One is concerned that I don’t eat a lot of meat. I eat meat, but it depends on my mood whether I eat a lot of meat or not.)

The Wee One and I like to crack open a jar of salsa and then enjoy it with tortilla chips. This usually our evening snack. So when I saw this recipe the other day I decided to make it. After I made it, the Wee One and I snacked on it. Did it meet his deal of approval? Yes, he did.

Freeze or can the leftovers.
This barbecue sauce is easy to cook and also delicious! Both Wee One and Hubby gave their seal approval with this sauce.
The only issue is that I’m trying to avoid eating or drinking foods or drinks that include high fructose corn syrup. I recently found a ketchup that does not have high fructose corn syrup (Kroger’s organic ketchup), so I used that. The root beer, however, did contain high fructose corn syrup. My next mission is to find root beer without corn syrup.
