What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Symphony of Flavors: Artichoke Garlic Parm Dip! Life Lesson—-Never go to a social event hungry. It’s probably not a good idea to starve yourself all day with words like, “Since I’m eating later, I’ll skip breakfast or lunch.” The best intentions fly out the window when you discover how the hostess has perfected stationed food to look irresistible and amazing. It’s no accident the food and beverage areas become the focal point. That’s kinda the idea. My suggestion? Do as the French do. Graze. Anything more than 3 bites of one item can lead to overindulgence.
ARTICHOKE GARLIC PARM DIP
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
14-ounce can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
Parsley, for garnish
Garlic bagel chips
Rosemary olive oil crackers
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a baking dish with nonstick oil. Set aside. Combine mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl. Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts. Mix well. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Bake 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Serve warm with garlic bagel chips and rosemary olive oil crackers.
Thank you, Gail, for the wonderful dish, I could have it at my lunch today!

PS. If you want to clean your beautiful silver without expensive and toxic silver cleaning preparations, you can use successfully the cheapest toothpaste. It works a treat leaving silver sparkling.

How did using baking soda work to polish the silver? I always wanted to try it. Yummy dip!

First of all, you need an aluminum pan. Put the silver on the tray. Cover the flatware with baking soda. Then pour boiling water over the flatware. It will foam up. Swirl it around with tongs. Then let it sit a minute or two and rinse with water. Voilà. Tarnish is gone.
