Growing up, holiday break meant time at my grandparents’ house, where every New Year’s Eve, they would throw a party for my brothers, cousins and I. It was a highlight of our holiday break.
We would pull out the crayons and scotch tape to make signs to welcome in the new year, streamers, balloons, and our signs were hung throughout the house, glittery party hats and noisemakers were a must.
The soda “bar” with plastic champagne glasses were ready, along with snack foods galore! Chips, cheese curls, and pigs in a blanket filled our bellies while we counted down to the new year with Dick Clark on TV.
When thinking about party foods, give this delicious and easy to prepare gluten-free dip a try.
Begin with just 4 ingredients.
Set out 2 blocks of cream cheese to soften. Once it’s at room temperature, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
With an electric handmixer, combine cream cheese, 1 can of drained, quartered artichoke hearts, one package of crab meat, and about 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Spread into a baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees. Before you know it, the aroma of this warm and creamy goodness will fill the air.
