Spinach and Artichoke Dip
I have been making it for years, and have probably served it to more than 50 people over that time. No one has ever said it was bland; in fact, most people love it and ask for the recipe. It is simple to make and delicious. I normally cook it at 375 degrees for at least 20 minutes until it is lightly brown and totally bubbly. I suppose you can add some seasonings if you prefer, but this is quite delicious as is. Also, make sure you drain the spinach thoroughly and squeeze dry.

Classic Spanish Sangria
This was delicious and a big hit at my last BBQ. I used a 1.5 liter bottle of Yago Sangria, increased the rum to 2 cups and kept the rest of the ingredient amounts the same. It went down great and was just as good as I've had at Mexican restaurants. Highly recommend.

Strawberry Whipped Sensation
I have made this a few times, and it tastes 10 times better if you let it almost totally defrost before serving. (I let it sit out at least 1/2 hour after removing from loaf pan). If you serve right out of the freezer, it is kind of tasteless, but is delicious when it melts a little. Also, I made the mistake of using a store brand once, but real Cool Whip tastes much better. Other points I discovered after reading reviews and also making a few times: Get 12 oz. Cool Whip to have enough to use in the recipe and to be able cover the entire loaf at serving time. I use 10 oreos plus 1 1/2 tbsp. butter for a more substantial crust. This keeps well in the freezer. You can make it a couple of weeks in advance so there's one less thing to do when preparing for company. All in all, it's a good summer dessert.
