Egg Nog Bread
One of the things I enjoy about Christmas is the chance to have some eggnog. I don’t drink a lot of eggnog, but I do enjoy some now and then at the holidays. I thought it would be fun to try using eggnog in a recipe, so I made this Egg Nog Bread! I added…

Cheesy Hot Artichoke Dips
The first time I had a hot artichoke dip was up in Kansas City at a friend’s home. She had a dinner party and served it as her appetizer. I had never had anything like it and it was so good! Since then, I’ve seen several variations of hot artichoke dips. I found this first…
