Hot and Bubbly Artichoke Dip

Every Saturday night has become a challenge.  My husband has

now come to expect Appetizer Saturday Night every weekend.

I think he must look forward to it all week.  I try to change the menu

each Saturday.  To be honest, it's tough coming up with new ideas

because I serve more than one appetizer and we snack on these in 

place of dinner.  

This past Saturday, I came up with an old favorite that I had

forgotten about ~ Hot Artichoke Dip.  It could not be easier and it

is very yummy.

1 small jar of artichoke hearts ~ I buy the ones in oil and then

drain that oil off.

Duke's Mayonnaise, or any other quality mayo.  A couple of big

spoonfuls.

Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese.  I mix this in with the dip.

Place all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.  Stir.  Add this

to a ramekin or tiny baking dish.  I have used a cute little Le Cruset

oval casserole I found at a thrift shop years ago.  Sprinkle more

parmesan on top.  Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for 

15 to 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly

Serve with crackers or toasted baguettes.

I also made some delicious puff pastry, prosciutto and honey mustard

pin wheels.  Very good and can be made ahead and frozen till you

need them.  This recipe is from Holly Holden and you can watch 

her instructional video next.  You may enjoy some of her design 

videos too.  We have the same passion for traditional design and

her home is gorgeous!

She loves horses as much as I do too!

Enjoy!!!
