I ran out of powdered sugar and in a flash had as much as I needed using my bullet. Put some sugar in the large cup and use the pulse method until the right consistency. I love very fine salt on my pumpkin seeds but could never figure out how to get it, so I figured I'd give it a go in the bullet and sure enough, I got the pumpkins seeds I wanted. I'd tried other methods and none of them worked well enough to get the powdered consistency I needed for the sugar or the salt. Powdered Sugar

My favorite dip (after guac, which I prefer having handed to me on a platter...) is Spinach dip. I totally cheat and use the Happy Valley Ranch dressing seasoning packet and mix it with fat free sour cream and frozen spinach. I could eat that stuff by the bowlful. Though now I need to go try some of the recipes others have posted! Oh oh! My favorite dip (after guac, which I prefer having handed to me on a platter…) is Spinach dip.

Combine lime juice, onion, garlic, serrano, a little salt and pepper, and the cilantro in medium mixing bowl. Let these sit for a bit so the tomatoes can drain and the lime juice can "cook" the onions and garlic. Drain the corn and beans in two more colanders (or one together would probably be fine). When everything is prepped, combine all ingredients and mix gently with your hands or a wooden spoon. Serve with whatever you like--especially good on tacos and probably eggs. This takes a bit of work in the prepping, but I can see how the bullet might make that easier. Black Bean and Corn Salsa

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
about 2/3 can sweet corn or Mexican corn, drained and rinsed
1/4 of a big red onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
juice of two limes
salt and pepper
2 tomatoes, chopped fine and drained
1-2 serrano, veins and seeds removed and minced
1 c. cilantro, chopped fine
1 ripe but firm avacado, cut into small cubes
