Party Favors

One way to make sure the women in your peer group know that you can cook, is to never show up to a party empty handed. This simple ritual will make it much easier for you when you invite your lady friend over to your pad for dinner. It will also make you a popular party-goer, building value for you with every compliment you receive.

An appetizer that people always seem to love is Spinach & Artichoke Dip. Mine has always been a big hit for me, and I hope you'll find it to be a huge success as well.

Ingredients: (aprox $12)
1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup of Miracle Whip or like salad dressing.
(mayo will do, but the zing helps)
1 cup cream cheese
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 square package of frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
2 cans of artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)

Directions: Mix all of your ingredients together, (except for the pepper jack cheese) and put in a greased casserole dish. Top with the pepper jack. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes Serve with crusty bread or crackers.

Drink suggestion: cold, crisp, sweet white wine

Pro Tip: If bringing this to a party, use a casserole dish that is also microwave friendly. Zap it for 2 minutes to bring it back to temperature.
