Is there a better way to kick off the Holiday Entertaining Season than adding 5 dip recipes to your recipe box? From a culinary view, I think it is a perfect start to the busy Holiday Entertaining Season! Today I am sharing my favorite dip or appetizer recipes that are quick, easy & tasty!
Each of these dips is prepared from a mx from the folks from Mad Dash Mixes. I was introduced to the Mad Dash Mixes line at a conference in Atlanta, GA over the summer. I immediately fell in love with their product line. Highlighting their mixes was the perfect culinary addition to my blog and the weekly Mix It Up Monday With Mad Dash Mixes feature was born!
If you decide to try any of the mixes, I have arranged for my readers to receive a 15% discount on any order at www.MadDashMixes.com Simply use the code word farmhouse as your discount code! I think you will love what they have to offer! They have a variety of mixes ranging from appetizer to soups to desserts. They even have some products that are geared towards people who are concerned about gluten.

Things to Consider
In addition to keeping a selection of the Mad Dash Mixes on hand, keeping a few packages of cream cheese, a jar of mayonnaise and some sour cream in your refrigerator will help you mix up this dip mixes quickly!
An assortment of chips, crackers and vegetables are also things to keep in your pantry or refrigerator.
Serving bowls, baskets and trays are useful too!
The mixes make great gifts for the holidays or anytime you need a hostess gift or bridal shower gift. Add a selection of mixes, a kitchen towel and a few kitchen gadgets to a basket, wrap it in cellophane and add a bow and you are ready with a very useful gift!
Inquiring Minds Want to Know
Why do I use a picture of the vintage Hamilton Beach Mixer at the beginning of each Mix It Up Monday post? Thank you for asking! It originally belonged to my Mom. I am not certain if it was a wedding gift but I know she had it a long time.
It still works although I did have to it rewired last summer as the cord had become damaged. The top comes off of the base to turn it into a hand mixer! There are two milk glass bowls and a juicer attachment. It just fits with the theme, don’t you think?
I do need to take a new picture of it for the blog because we no longer have that white range in our kitchen. We replaced all our kitchen appliances this summer. All the details surrounding the replacement can be found here New Appliances for the Galley Kitchen
