Dips!

I went to a dip themed dinner club last night. I realized when I was making mine that I didn’t have the recipe posted.

Pizza Dip

Ingredients
8 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
approximately 8 oz pizza sauce
1 c shredded part skim mozz cheese
pizza seasonings

Directions
Spread cream cheese on bottom of dish. I use 9″ pie plate. Top with pizza sauce, then seasoning, then cheese.
Bake at 350 until cheese is all melted. Maybe 10 mins.
I serve with sliced French bread which I sprayed with Pam then broiled until crisy.

The below dip Lindsay B brought. It was a huge hit! She just emailed it to us so I thought I’d post (this way I’ll remember & be able to find the recipe!).

Artichoke Dip

one 14 oz. can (water packed) artichoke hearts, chopped
3/4 C plain lowfat yogurt
1 C grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
2 cloves garlic, pressed
2 T fresh basil chopped

*I added some chopped fresh spinach as well.

Microwave 3 minutes on high. Stir. Microwave 2 more minutes. Serve
warm with chips, bread or pita bread.

Twitter Home Tour

A couple of awesome girls in the twitter universe came up with the idea. I love checking out other peoples homes & getting ideas, so I joined on. Our house is definitely not model home quality, but its ours and we like it.

Let’s start with our foyer. I couldn’t get a good picture of the overall, so here’s my three favorites from the area: dried flowers from my bouquet, wedding portrait, & wedding Bible quote & favorite beach wedding photo.
This room is a disaster. It was an office/junk room. Husband’s trying to turn it into a “man room”. It’ll eventually be the nursery (who knows where all the stuff will go then). Yall only get a brief glance.Next as we make our way down the hall is our guest bedroom. This is almost the exact same room as my college & right post college room. But I still love my Chi Omega owls & photos.When we moved in, this bathroom was awful! Multiple layers of wallpaper + boarder. The paint turned out brighter than I wanted, but I love how this beachy bathroom has turned out.
Now our bedroom. We’re still working on a headboard~ first couldn’t find one we like, then all too expensive. I think we found one just last week~ my Dad’s cousin offered her extra for $50!! The jewelry tree in between the windows is very special to me. My mom made it out my her mom’s costume jewelry!
Our bathroom is bad. Needs to be painted but one wall needs to be resheetrocked due to prior owners. But this is working for now. (PHOTO TO COME LATER)

Back down the hallway to the foyer. Take a left & you enter our kitchen. We redid this about a year & half ago!
The dining room & den are one big room but we have divided by couches. This is were we spend most of the time & from where I blog!
Hope you’ve enjoyed Suz’s home! Now go check out the other lovely ladies of the twitter home tour!
