Big News and Some Dip

A couple things to take care of before I get to this yummy dip. I drew for the Peeler Giveaway.  Random.or came up with #39, Carolyn of All Day I Dream About Food was the lucky winner. Carolyn, I need your address so I can get them in the mail to you!

The other big thing happening around here is we are moving!! We are packing up our stuff and headed west to Fort Collins Colorado! My husband lived there for a summer in college, and we both loved it. We have been there almost every year since. A good opportunity came about this summer, and we just couldn't turn it down. We are very excited about this adventure, but nervous about all that is to come as well. We have only ever lived 3 hours from our family, and now will be almost 1000 miles. Big change! It will be great though, we love the mountains, love hiking, and love Colorado!  So if you were wondering why I was have been complaining about being crazy busy lately, now you know what I have been up to.  We just listed our house, so that is a HUGE amount of work. 

Ok, now onto what you came here for. The FOOD!! I made this Spinach Artichoke Dip for a party recently, and it was a huge hit! I had to snag a little bit to take home with me, so I could snap some pics. I think I got some dirty looks as I was sneaking my little bowl away.
