This Artichoke Dip is a definite crowd pleaser!

• 1 can of artichokes, drained and chopped
• 1 package of cream cheese
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese

In a medium sized bowl, soften the cream cheese for 30 seconds in the microwave, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Transfer mix to a small baking dish and bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

** I usually double the recipe if I am taking this dish to a party as it tends to disappear quite quickly!

My husband and I went to the local Home Show in our town and as we were walking past the various booths that were set up I came across this company that has a great idea!

Basically, this company, Tomboy Tools is set up just like Tupperware or Partylite where you invite a consultant into your home and host a party by inviting all your friends and family (the women) over to learn, and of course purchase tools to use for everyday projects.  It’s another great way to get women interested in power tools!!

The best part is that if you love pink, you can get all different tools in a pink colour!  I am really considering having a party over the summer to check out what this is all about.  I will keep you posted!!
