I got this recipe for cranberry cream cheese dip from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American, too. It was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapeños, sugar, green onions, and cilantro make for great salsa. Add the cream cheese, and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz crackers or Wheat Thins.

Healthier Chicken Enchiladas
I've always liked this healthy chicken enchilada recipe because it is quick and easy. I'm always looking for ways to cut out excess fat so I use reduced-fat cheese and sour cream. I also like to add fiber to make the meal a little healthier for my family so I add black beans and some bell peppers. This also adds color! To make it super-healthy I use whole wheat flour tortillas. And it still tastes just as delicious!
