Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting
I made this frosting for an apple cake I made for a party dessert. A couple modifications: instead of sugar, I used 1/2 C Agave Nectar and I only had 1 C heavy whipping cream on hand, so that is all I used, but it turned out fantastic nonetheless. One of the guests, who is unusually hard to please when I try to make healthy desserts was absolutely in love with this frosting!

Banana Cream Pie I
This recipe was really good, especially with fresh whipped cream. However, while everyone else raved about it, this was a bit too sweet for my liking even though I replaced 1/2 C of the sugar with agave nectar and used organic cane sugar for the other 1/4 C. Next time I think I will only use 1/2 C agave nectar and skip on the sugar altogether. I used a homemade pie crust that I got from a fruit tart recipe on Allrecipes that got equally rave reviews from my guests who devoured the pie. I would definitely agree with the other reviewers who mentioned the pudding was so good it would make a great dessert all on its own.

Artichoke Spinach Dip
MMM MMM Good! We used asiago, parmesan, and crumbled blue cheese in addition to the cream cheese. The asiago was quite salty, so if I make this in the future, I will definitely reduce the amount of asiago or pick another cheese altogether. I made this with fresh artichoke hearts and spinach I picked up at my local co-op, threw everything in the Crockpot and served it at a party with vegetables and artisan garlic bread. It was a big hit. We froze the leftovers and rewarmed them in the oven a week later. It was just as good the second time!
