It was time for my 6 month dental appointment. Teeth cleaned and checked. I never mind because it also means that I will get to spend some time with Connie, our dental hygienist, who I just adore. Connie is always ready to talk kids, grandkids, crafts, and RECIPES with me. It is a fun time 🙂 I told her my friend Nancy was coming for a visit and that I was busy planning menus. She asked me if I had ever made Artichoke Parmesan Dip. I had not, although I think I had eaten something similar at a restaurant once or twice. She proceeded to rattle off the recipe to me as she cleaned and polished my teeth. I planned to make this as an appetizer on the day I made Chicken Caesar Salad during Nancy’s visit. Trouble is … I FORGOT! I had all the ingredients on hand and simply forgot. Sorry Nancy … next time 🙂
On a positive note I did find my memory and my Chief Culinary Consultant and Sous-chef dish-washing mom loved being served an appetizer before dinner recently! There are a lot of baked artichoke recipes in recipe books and throughout the internet. However, I have to agree with Connie, “this one is exceptional.” I have to wonder if the Worcestershire sauce is the star, or maybe the touch of onion, the splash of lemon? the Parmesan? When all combined it bakes up into a luscious warm and creamy dip.
BUT WAIT there’s more …
We only ate about half of the dip as an appetizer. I decided to take the leftover and spread across a pizza crust. I topped it with a blend of Italian cheeses and baked it up. Oh my gosh! The pizza was as good or better than the dip! I meant to take a picture before we ate it … but I FORGOT. My bad.
~Happy Cooking!

NOW when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:1-10
