Hot Artichoke and Cheese Dip

At the beginning of football season, my Aunt Marci sent me a cook book she'd put together and called "Ultimate Football Recipes." Yesterday for the Super bowl, I made her artichoke dip. It was so good that everyone filled up on it before anything else was cooked. Seriously amazing. Probably the best artichoke dip I have ever had.

Hot Artichoke and Cheese Dip

2 8oz cream cheese - soft
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 16 oz chopped frozen spinach - thawed
1 13 3/4 can artichoke hearts
2/3 cup Monterey Jack cheese

(I also added a can of sliced, drained water chestnuts which was really good)

Mix all and heat in a crock pot.

Even Ben loved it and he's pretty much a picky eater.

Long Time, No Talk

Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
