COLD TOMATO CREAM CHEESE CRAB DIP
This quick, easy, and yummy dip is excellent with vegetable dippers or crackers (try Wheat Thins). For dinner party appetizers, serve this dip plus Wheat Thins along with salted roasted cashews. A Vita Mix machine does an excellent job of distributing the crab meat and flavor throughout the puree. Low sodium, undiluted condensed tomato soup gives an excellent result.

ROASTED GARLIC ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES
This is my husband's favorite way to eat up summer's 'never-ending' supply of zucchini and tomatoes. Goes great with grilled chicken or fish, or toss it with some cooked pasta. Grape or cherry tomatoes work well too.

Tips:

- Don't overcook the dip. Overcooked crab meat is tough and chewy.
- Serve the dip with plenty of crackers or bread for dipping.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.
- If you're making the dip ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
