Appetizer -- Cream Cheese Dip

1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 fresh tomato

2 cloves garlic minced
Less than one quarter cup milk or Half and Half to thin mixture
Fresh ground pepper

Slice tomato in half and scoop out inside pulp. Combine tomato pulp with cream cheese and garlic and a splash or two of milk. Mix with a mixer for several minutes until smooth. Add a little milk if necessary to thin the dip. Place mixture in a small bowl and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Potato chips actually go great with this dip, but you may also use your favorite crackers.

The Skinny: Use light cream cheese and low fat milk or Half and Half. If you have a nice tender tomato, then cut it into pieces and put the whole thing in the mixer. You will end up with some of the tomato skin in the dip but it really is no problem.
