Perfect for: Dinner parties, romantic get-togethers, potlucks and luncheons.
Make and take: Whip together up to several hours in advance and chill until serving time.
Made famous by: Stephanie Lotti of Atlanta, who said she came up with the recipe "the same way I come up with all my recipes -- by opening all my kitchen cabinets one by one and saying, 'What might go together?' "

Ingredients:
Instructions:
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and rosemary. Process until well-blended (it's OK to leave flecks of sun-dried tomato). Season to taste with hot sauce, salt and pepper. Serve with rosemary crackers or a baguette of rosemary bread.
Notes:
Rosemary crackers, such as those made by Carr's, enhance the rosemary flavor.
Although Lotti developed this easy dip for a Thanksgiving dinner, its bright red color adds a nice touch to Valentine's Day, too. While packed with flavor, it has the added advantage of being onion- and garlic-free.
