I blame Hayley

Canned Artichoke Hearts
they're slimy and smell funny

Cooked Spinach
gag fest

Cream Cheese
I've been it's biggest adversary forever

Combine these things with Parmesan Cheese, a little Garlic and a pinch of Salt
I've always loved Parmesan cheese

HEAVEN

I kid you not, delicious! It's Nancy's recipe, but Hayley made me try it. Now, I'm addicted. Every few months I just know it's time to whip up a batch. I seldom make it because it's kinda pricey to buy all that stuff and it's a DIP for goodness sake.

Well, until I turned it into a dinner.

I watered about a quarter of the dip down with some milk, making it more saucey. Poured it over Kaci's favorite noodles and made a chicken breast for Brad (he requires there be meat at dinner). Now I can eat it by the fork full!

I blame Hayley for the weight I gain from consuming so many calories. I blame Hayley for convincing me to eat three things on my "do-not-eat-list". And I blame Hayley for the precious joy this lil bit of heaven brings to my life.

I miss you Hayley. I hope we get to see you this summer. I know I don't write. I suck at that. What are you suppose to say to a missionary? I'm fighting my homesickness for you by packing on the cream cheese pounds.

YUM! I MUST try it as a dinner, because I too love the dip!

I wish I had the cream cheese to make it right now-my mouth is watering.

hayley made that once when she lived in the ninja house...it was delish.

my version (or actually it's brisha's recipe) is even fattier. it's basically pure mayonnaise and melted cheese with artichoke hearts. oh, and some garlic. (oh! remember?? we all ate it together at brisha's house for the dinner party)
