Tara's Green Grape Salad

Years ago I was in a little recipe exchange group and one of the gals, Tara, shared this super easy fruit salad recipe that really is more dessert than salad. This is definitely better the second day but it's never lasted longer than that in my house...

Tara's Green Grape Salad

You will need: 4 pounds green grapes (you can cut these in half or serve them whole)

Mix 8 oz. cream cheese with 8 oz. of sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar (I love it with brown sugar but either works) and 1 tsp. of vanilla (or almond extract). Add grapes and mix. Sprinkle with 2 Tab. brown sugar and 4 oz. of pecans. Refrigerate and enjoy!

Butterscotch Apple Dip

Fall is the perfect time for apples and a warm dip, isn't it? The first time that I made this for the family, one of the kids remarked that this was way better than the apple dip that you buy in the store (and which we had used as a school snack offering for my daughter's birthdays at school since no homemade goodies can be shared in the schools). This was SO easy and now I keep a stash of butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk around all fall for this little number. It would be great for a party dip if kept in a little crock-pot...although it surely won't last long!
