Hot Reuben Dip
My nephew Will was visiting from the UK. He loves reuben sandwiches, so I made him this Hot Reuben Dip. It's a combination of corned beef (I couldn't find any so I used pastrami), cream cheese, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, sour cream, ketchup, and spicy brown mustard. It's baked in the oven and served with rye or pumpernickel. It was delicious.

Ikra, Eggplant Spread
Ikra is a Ukranian vegetable spread that's made of roasted eggplant, bell peppers, onions, carrots, and garlic. I had it at a restaurant recently and decided to make my own. This deliciously healthy spread can be served with sliced bread, pita chips or would work well with a charcuterie board.

Hot Corn Dip
This Hot Corn Dip is from Celebrate with Babs, by Barbara Costello, 2022. I have to say, it didn't last long, it's so good. You can make it ahead and put it in the oven before serving. I divided it into 2 separate casserole dishes, which worked well.

White Bean Dip with Herbs
This White Bean Dip with Herbs is creamy and a nice change from hummus. Cannellini beans are White Kidney Beans, which are a little meatier than Navy or Great Northern beans, they have a nutty, earthy flavor. You can use any white bean for this recipe. Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, which are used in hummus, are a bit grainier in texture. The fresh herbs and garlic shine through. You can serve it with vegetables or pita chips.

Dill Pickle Hummus
I keep seeing Dill Pickle Hummus everywhere. Trader Joe's makes it, but I decided to concoct my own. My husband likes anything with pickles. When we were dating about 100 years ago, I remember going to the market and he bought a jar of pickles and ate the whole thing in the car on the way home! This should have been a tip-off!
