Yummy Fruit Dip

1 block of softened cream cheese 

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp vanilla 

mix with mixer for 5 min. Lasts a week...makes a bunch!

(From: Nikki Rumsey, she made this for us when Griffin was born and I loved it!)

Grape Salad

8 oz sour cream

8 oz cream cheese

1/3 cup sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

Mix the above ingredients together until well blended.

4 lbs. seedless grapes (red and green)
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Place a layer of grapes in your bowl.  Dollop some of the cream cheese mixture around (don't worry about spreading it out), sprinkle a bit of the brown sugar on top and some of the pecans.  Repeat layers, ending with the cream cheese mixture with the brown sugar and nuts on top.

Refrigerate well (over night works great!)
