Here's a great dip to spice up the holidays:

Roasted Red Pepper Dip (makes 1 cup)

2 medium red bell peppers
½ tsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
4 oz light cream cheese...softened
¼ C lowfat plain yogurt or sour cream
2 tsp. Mango Meltdown

Cut one of the red peppers in half lengthwise. Remove
the seeds and fibers. Place halves, cut side down in a
shallow dish in the microwave. Cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave on high 6-10 minutes or until fork tender,
drain. Remove small slice from top of the remaining
pepper. Carefully remove seeds and fibers. Set aside. In
food processor, combine cooked pepper with sugar, salt
cream cheese, yogurt and Mango Meltdown. Blend
until smooth. Refrigerate before serving. Spoon dip
mixture into cut out red pepper and serve with fresh
vegetables or low fat chips. 

Mango meltdown is a specialty hot sauce produced by the
Maui Pepper Co.  Great stuff.  They have other recipes online
