a meme

Kansas at Canadian Crafter tagged me for this meme and since it involves food how could I not play along?! I'm supposed to take the letters of my blogging name and tell you a food-related factoid about me for each letter. My real name and my blogging name are the same so here goes...

D - Dark chocolate. These are my absolute favorite. Scott brought them back for me on one of his business trips to Switzerland. He is truly the best! :)

A - Artichoke dip. I don't know if I could pick a favorite appetizer but this would definitely be a contender. I got this recipe from a friend several years ago and I haven't found one I like better. And I don't think there is one out there that could be more fattening! Just don't think about that.

1 cup mayonaisse (the real thing)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
8 oz shredded mozarella cheese
1 can artichokes, chopped
1 large clove minced garlic
2-3 chopped green onions

Mix together and pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until brown. Serve with toasted french bread or crackers. I would also recommend serving it with a glass of red wine. So good together!

R - Runzas. We get these everytime we go back to Nebraska. I make a homemade version that I think will have to be on the menu next week.

C - Chocolate...oh wait, I already said that! Cookies. I have always loved to bake cookies. I was the official cookie baker in the house growing up. My favorites are Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, No-Bakes, and Monster.

Y - Yogurt. Especially vanilla flavored with fresh fruit and granola.

According to the rules of the meme I'm supposed to tag 8 more people now. There's no pressure to do it though if you'd rather not! :)
