Chicken Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken)
I took earlier advice and added 1/2 tsp coriander and thickened with 1/4 C crushed cashews instead of the cornstarch and blended the sauce in the blender before combining with the chicken and it was amazing. It was actually comparable to our favorite Indian restaurant's.

Dill, Feta and Garlic Cream Cheese Spread
I was having a couple of friends over, so I searched for a recipe using feta and cream cheese because I had them on hand. This fit the bill perfectly. I halved the recipe. I smashed the feta with a fork, then put in and the cream cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften it and it was very easy to stir. It turned out very creamy and garlicky and delicious. I used dried dill to taste. The three of us gals polished off the whole thing with sliced baguette.

Dip For The Stars
This dip was amazing. I just made a half recipe for a New Years Eve party, but I thought I'd try a sample first, so I made a smaller version in a small Tupperware container (1/2 cup). I just meant to taste it (really), but ended up eating the whole sample with toasted baguette and a glass of red wine. I just couldn't stop myself. I used ingredients I had on hand, so I omitted the pine nuts and subbed sun dried basil feta for regular feta. I also subbed 1 1/2 TBSP finely chopped sweet onion for the shallot and vodka for the for the vermouth. It was completely awesome! Before I used them, I spread the sundried tomatoes and pesto on quartered paper towels to remove excess oil. I also whirled the sun dried tomatoes in the food processor, then layered as follows: sun dried tomatoes, cheese mixture, pesto, then another layer of cheese mixture. I had no problems with excess oil on my serving plate. Thanks Dana!
