Mandarine Orange Kidney Bean Salad

This was me being in the mood for something different. It's a little on the sweet side, so next time I think I will cut the sugar in half.  But, it was still very nice as a change.

You will need:

• 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup poppy seed dressing
• 2 tbsp. sugar

Combine kidney beans, mandarin oranges, celery, dressing and sugar in a bowl.  Stir, cover and chill over night.  

Avacado Goat Cheese Dip

Rach found this recipe on the internet.  This turned out quite nicely, but it is very rich.

You will need:

• 3 avocados
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 3 tbsp. lime juice
• 4 ounces of cream cheese
• 4 ounces of goat cheese

In a bowl mash avocados.  Add garlic, cumin, salt, lime juice, cream cheese and goat cheese. Add more salt it necessary.

Serve with corn chips.
