    I'm bringing my famous pizza dip.

    1 pkg Cream Cheese-softened (full fat or low-fat- not fat free)
    Italian Seasoning and/or Garlic Powder (to taste)
    about 1 cup Tomato Sauce (or pizza sauce)
    Cheese- any kind- I prefer mozzarella or the 4 cheese Italian blend
    *optional* Whatever ingredients you like on your pizza- (finely chopped)

    Crackers for dipping (Ritz and Club crackers are best.)

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Mix the seasonings into the cream cheese. Spread it evenly onto the bottom of a 9 by 9 pan.

    Pour sauce over cream cheese mixture. Place cut up pizza ingredients (like pepperoni or canadian bacon) on top. Spread a light layer of tomato sauce over it. Top with cheese- make sure tomato sauce is completely covered.

    Put in the oven for 10 minutes or until dish is heated and cheese is melted.

    EARTHQUAKE CAKE

    1 c. coconut
    1 c. chopped nuts

    Mix together and spread in bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch oblong pan.

    1 box German chocolate cake mix

    Mix according to directions and then pour over coconut and nuts. Beat together:

    1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
    1 stick butter
    3 c. confectioners' sugar (powdered)

    Mix well. Spoon over cake mix. DO NOT STIR INTO CAKE MIX. It will cook into your cake to make a filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The top of the cake will not be smooth. It will crack open and be lumpy looking like an earthquake.
