- Drizzle in the olive oil and 3 tablespoons water. Process until thick and very smooth, adding a little more water if needed. Season with salt.

SAVORY PUMPKIN DIP
I served this recipe at a Halloween themed party years ago and it was a big hit. I had moved and lost touch with most of the ladies who had attended the party. However, several years later, I received a phone call from one of the women who had been a guest at the party...she said she had been trying to track me down all that time because she wanted a copy of the recipe of the pumpkin dip I had served. I very happily provided her with the recipe and here it is for everyone else. I served this inside a large round of bread, which can be dyed orange to make it look like a pumpkin. Just use any recipe you like for a yeast bread and add orange food coloring to the dough (you can reserve a small dough ball and dye it green to stick on top of the round loaf before baking to represent a stem)...cut off the top of the loaf of bread and scoop out the inside to form a cavity to place your dip inside, then serve the bread "guts" as dippers, along with fresh veggies, crackers, chips, etc..whatever you prefer.

Steps:
- Beat together the pumpkin, cream cheese, Mexican seasoning blend,garlic powder, and pumpkin pie spice -- test seasoning and adjust to your liking. (NOTE:if your Mexican seasoning is not salty/peppery enough you may wish to add a bit of salt & pepper to taste as well, cayenne pepper if you want it zesty).
- Gently stir in diced bell peppers, the ham, and the olives to combine.
- Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Before serving, cut off the top of your round loaf of bread and scoop out the middle, forming a bread bowl and lid (see description above for more complete suggestions) and fill the cavity with the dip.
- Serve dip with assorted fresh veggies, crackers, chunks of torn bread, etc.

Steps:
- Blue Cheese Sauce: This sauce is also fab over pasta with steak or chicken. Heat Alfredo over medium heat, add blue cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly, add milk slowly until you reach a smooth consistency to your liking.
- Dip Directions: Bake the bacon/ pancetta at 350 for about 20 minutes or until crispy. Drain and crumble. Set aside. ( I prefer a combo of the two).
- Using an electric mixer or Cuisinart, combine cream cheese, spices, sauce and pumpkin butter until smooth.
- Add 3/4 of the bacon crumbles and fold in - do not use mixer as it will destroy the bits.
- Fold in blue cheese crumbles.
- Use remaining bacon bits and blue cheese to garnish. May be served at room temp or slightly chilled. If I had green onions, I would garnish with snips of that as well for color.
