Welcome to Day #6 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan , we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25. Today is our final day of #AppetizerWeek. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have! Should we make it an annual event? I think so!
Can you believe that Appetizer Week is already over? It has gone by so fast!! I really hope you have enjoyed all of the amazing snacks that have been shared this week!
For my last recipe, I present to you this Creamy Cilantro Lime Dip! It was so simple to make & the Hubs really enjoyed it! Since I like to keep it real here, I didn’t really enjoy it. But I’m not a fan of cream cheese at all & even with the fresh cilantro & lime juice, I still could taste too much cream cheese. But you try it for yourself & then come back and let me know what you thought!!

That is easy! Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook. I love using my cookbook.
I love The New Way to Cook Light by Cooking Light! Everytime I make one of the recipes from the book, it always turns out amazing!
Trader Joes makes an amazing cilantro-chive yogurt dip that I just adore. Maybe try using a plain greek yogurt instead of the cream cheese next time? Or half and half?
That’s a really good idea Nikki! I wish we had talked a few days ago – I have greek yogurt in my fridge right now!! 🙁 Going to try it again using the yogurt! 🙂
This dip looks fantastic. This has been such a great week. I seriously just want to snack for the next month with all the delicious things I pinned.
I’m so glad you found so many great recipes you want to try out Emily!! I could eat appetizers for dinner just about every night I think!!
I am one of those people who LOVES cilantro. I can’t wait to make this! Perfect appetizer for me to bring to our big Super Bowl party! Thanks for sharing!
I hope you like it!!
