Knoephla soup is not for those watching calories! It's a German potato soup with small dough balls that I grew up eating. It is rich, creamy, and will stick to your ribs. The women in the family have been making this soup for generations, and I've added my own twist to the base recipe.

Beer Cheese Pretzel Dip
This is a GREAT alternative to chips and dip. I take this everywhere and always get asked for the recipe. It is awesome! It is best served with mini-twist pretzels, but it's also great with veggies.
Salmon Cream Cheese
This salmon cream cheese is great spread on a bagel, or as a dip with crackers. It's tart and salty with lemon, fresh dill, and capers, and the whipped cream cheese makes it light enough to use as a dip.
