Dippy snacks

__NOTOC__
== General Tips ==
* Actually thinking of snacks as hors d'oeuvres - rather than desserts ~ will open up a whole new way of looking at this category.
* Hint: use cucumber "coins" instead of crackers.
* When cutting up with kids, have your children help you cut up green onions, parsley, lettuce, cheese slices, fruit, etc., using a scissors instead of a knife. Using a scissors helps coordination (yes!) and keeps them busy for a long time!
== Ingredients ==
* 1 stick (½ cup) butter or margarine, softened
* 1 cup cottage cheese
* garlic powder
=== Any of the following ===
* carrots
* celery
* green pepper strips
* cucumber slices
