Labor Day Dips for your Festivities

Happy Labor Day to you!! It's hard to believe the summer is pretty much over and we are heading into Fall.

We have a pool party we are going to today and I needed to come up with a dip or two to take. I had some corn on the cob that I needed to use so this dip was perfect and it runs with my theme of Mexican Corn on the Cob I've done a few times this year. Peanut Butter Fruit Dip is the other dip I have used a few times and it is a hit with the parents and with the kids. It's a healthy dip and something you don't feel guilty nibbling on throughout the day. Enjoy!!
