1 pkg (8 oz.) package cream cheese

2  teaspoons orange zest 

3 tablespoons fresh orange juice (just use some juice from the the orange that you zested)

Warm Cheesy Beef Dip

From my awesome friend Nicole who throws great parties. This is always a crowd pleasing favourite.

16 oz. sour cream

9 oz. Jack Cheese

6 oz. cream cheese

1 jar Armour dried beef

3-4 green onions

1 bread bowl

Combine sour cream, cream cheese, and cheese.  Rinse beef and pat dry with a paper towel then chop finely.  Chop green onion about 3/4 up.  Combine and put in bread bowl.  Wrap in foil and bake at 375 degrees for 1-1.5 hours.  Serve with crackers or bread.  

Curry Chicken Salad

1 can chicken (2-3 chicken breasts boiled and shredded)
20 grapes, cut in half
1 stick of celery, chopped
2-3 green onions, finely chopped
3-4 Tbsp mayo (I substitute plain yogurt and use at least 1.5 times as much as the recipe calls for)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp curry powder

Mix lemon juice and curry powder until curry powder dissolves. Mix into mayo. Add chicken, grapes, celery, and onion. If salad is too dry, add additional mayo.

Serve with yummy bread, croissants, or eat plain!

** We don't eat mayo at our house as neither of us like it! So whenever a recipe calls for mayo, I use plain yogurt. Mayo lovers can't even tell the difference! I usually add more yogurt than the recipe calls for, otherwise its more dry than I like. This is the recipe my friend made for my Michigan bridal shower, oh so long ago. (That's not important... just a random fact!)
