GARLIC LOVER'S CLAM DIP
One of my absolute favorite family recipes is my Granddaddy's clam dip. We had it at most family get-togethers while I was growing up, and he and my Grandma always made sure to make a double batch if they knew I was going to be there (with a special portion just for me to take home). This rich and creamy old fashioned clam dip is a garlic lover's dream.

Steps:
- Drain clam juice into a measuring cup or small container, and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and enough of the clam juice for the dip to reach your desired consistency (it shouldn't be too thick that it will break your chips). Reserve the rest of the clam juice.
- Mix in chopped clams and fresh garlic.
- Mix in garlic salt (to taste).
- The dip can be served immediately, or chilled in the refrigerator to serve later. As the dip will thicken in the fridge, stir in some of the reserved clam juice before serving to bring it back to a nice thickness for dipping.
- Serve with Classic Lay's or Ruffles potato chips.

Steps:
- Dump room temperature cream/neufchatel cheese into bowl.
- Open can of clams, pour juice into glass.
- Dump clams into cream/neufchatel cheese.
- Add worcestershire sauce, onion, and garlic to taste (something close to the proportions above).
- Add about half of the clam juice, or a little more until you can stir the dip into a consistency that scoops well onto a chip in a way that doesn't break the chip, but doesn't turn into a liquid that won't stay on the chip.
- Put dip into refrigerator (especially if you got it too watery). You can store overnight-I usually make it the night before to let the flavors mix and let the dip set.
- Serve with potato chips!

DAD'S CLAM DIP
This is a recipe that my Dad came up with and he has made it for every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. It's my favorite dip. My Dad usually eyeballs the ingredients, but I've come up with something a little more exact. Use as much or as little of the worcestshire sauce as you like. I usually pour a thin layer over the dip and blend.
