Spicy Artichoke Dip

This simple dip is a crowd favorite.  I have made it for my friend Mike Boe's birthday the past two years and when I have made a triple batch, yes I said "triple", there has been nothing left. 

1 1/2 c. Real Mayonnaise

1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (6 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
2 tbsp. chopped green onions
2 garlic cloves, minced

Mix all ingredients together in an oven-safe dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with crackers, crusty bread or even veggies.

Add Some Sparkle with Derek (TheLavishKing) Ivy

I am currently working with Derek (TheLavishKing) Ivy in Kansas City, MO to add sparkle to my Minnesota Wild hat by adding Swarovski Crystals.

Hat Before

Not a hat wearer? Derek also adds Swarovski Crystals to shirts, pumps, t-shirts, blazers, letterman jackets, etc.. Each piece is custom made so no two items are identical.  Derek works with you to ensure your item is exactly how you want it; price of items are determined by how many crystals are used.

I have posted a link to Derek's YouTube videos on the side of my blog.  You can also find him on Facebook by clicking this link THELAVISHKING. Don't forget to let him know you found him on my blog!  You can also contact me for his email or phone number to place your order.

Stay tuned to see how my hat turns out. 

Here are some more examples of Derek (TheLavishKing) Ivy work.
