EASY EGGPLANT DIP
Typically known as Baba Ganoush, this eggplant dip differs from the traditional version in that it's missing tahini (or ground sesame seeds). Despite its ho-hum looks, this eggplant dip will truly surprise and impress you with its delicious flavor and soft texture interspersed with some meaty eggplant bits. Serve it with your favorite veggies or pita, and turn any leftovers into a sandwich spread.

Steps:
- For the dip: Fold together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.

Next, snip a hole in one corner of the bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe in about an inch of the mixture; top with half an inch of the apple pie filling. Repeat the steps one more time or until the cups are filled, ending with one final crumble of the graham cracker crust crumbs on top.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond butter with the maple syrup until incorporated. If you have squeeze bottles, put some of the maple almond butter into one for easy delivery, as well as the jelly. (Refrigerate the leftover maple almond butter to use as a spread.)
- To assemble the dip for a lunchbox, use a 1-cup, flat resealable container. Squeeze or spread about a 1/4-cup line of strawberry jelly along the left side of the container. Lay the almonds next to the jelly in a line. Next to the almonds, squeeze or spread about a 1/4-cup line of the maple almond butter. Add a line of raisins, leaving a lane on the right of the container for the pretzels. Drizzle the top of the dip with maple syrup.
SUNNY'S ROASTED GARLIC AND FROZEN VEGGIE DIP
Steps:
- For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small ramekin or pouch formed out of aluminum foil, add the garlic and enough olive oil to cover. Season with salt and pepper, then cover or close with aluminum foil. Roast until the garlic is tender but not browned, about 25 minutes.
- For the dip: In a food processor, add the peas, peppers and onions, parsley, cream cheese, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the roasted garlic (reserve some the olive oil for the garnish) and pulse until smooth. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- For the garnish: Serve the dip in a bowl with a drizzle of the olive oil from the roasted garlic and a sprinkle of the parsley and walnuts. Serve with pita chips, raw vegetables and grissini for dipping.
