Instant Crowd Pleaser Fruit Dip


Another great recipe from Vanessa. Try this for your next dinner party for your dessert or for a barbecue.

Ingredients:
softened 8 oz package of cream cheese,
7 oz jar of marshmallow cream

Mix the cream cheese and the marshmallow cream. Cut up fruit or just wash strawberries and grapes, and dip and eat!

Note: Marshmallow cream is very sticky, just fyi. The first time I made it, I used a blender, to mix the two ingredients and it got very messy! I had sticky blender, spatula, bowls :-S …but the end result as we say in Bombay, ‘Public khush ho gaya’ (means ‘people got pleased’- just what the name suggests!)

Also, Vanessa suggested I put the fruits/fruit pieces on mini skewers or big toothpicks, they looked very cute!

Cleaning: Tip #1


To clean out a microwave with stains or deposits:

Take about 3-4 tbsp of vinegar, add about 3/4 cup of water. Microwave this for about 2-3 mins or upto 5 mins for the real stubborn ones.

Done, wipe away the loose grime with a paper towel.

How easy is this? :)
Update: I forgot to mention, where I got this from! Its from Vanessa :)
