New year's party coming up?  Or any gathering, really.  This dip has 3 main ingredients, takes literally 3 minutes to prepare, and it's a crowd pleaser.  Even if it is only a crowd of one or two, you must make it.  Personally, I'm planning on spending NYE with Jake, a couch, and Anderson Cooper's (my other husband) CNN countdown.  It just seems like when you go out to parties at a club or bar, everything is overpriced and underwhelming.  Then, you have to figure out how to get home.  Then you have to pay a babysitter $7,000.  It's all such a hassle.  Is this what getting old feels like?

Easy Pumpkin Pie Dip

• 1 can pure pumpkin puree
• 1 container Cool Whip
• 1 packet vanilla instant pudding
• Dash of cinnamon and nutmeg, to taste

Mix all of the ingredients with a hand mixer and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.  Serve with Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, animal crackers, or anything else along those lines.

Source: I'm not sure... I've been making it for years and don't remember who first told me about it.  I'm guessing it originated from either the pumpkin company or the makers of Cool Whip!
