3 Delicious and easy Dips!!

We went to Swissland cheese farm on the Midlands Meander for my parents birthdays (they're a week apart). We packed a picnic and at the farm bought 2 goats cheese platters. I made these three dips and they were delicious! Served with crudites and crackers and of course some wine/juice! There are a few tables and chairs and lots of lawn to enjoy your picnic and the really beautiful surroundings and there are cute goats to pet too=) and a ginger kitty and dogs that dont beg (guess they get loads of offerings and are over goats cheese!)
