Happy NYE Eve! I’m down with a cold, but that isn’t going to stop me from sharing my favorite hot dip recipe with you. You have to have it for your big New Years Eve parties! Hot Spinach and Artichoke dip is a classic. It’s not exactly new on the party scene. However, I’ve stepped it up a notch by serving it on a buttery garlic toasted Crostini! The combination of the two is OUT OF THIS WORLD! In a word… Amazing! I don’t think I’ll ever eat it again with corn chips. Your guest will absolutely love this dip/crostini combination. Come take a peek at how simple this is to make. Best part…you can make it ahead of time! One less thing on the “to-do” list! 😉
There are two things that go together…I think it’s almost illegal if you don’t have both. What am I talking about…Football and Wings!

I’m pretty sure it’s a Technical…flags down all over the place, if you even try to watch a game without at least a wing in each fist! Right? You can skip all the other food at the party, but you better have a GREAT platter of Ribs! These my friends…are GREAT WINGS! You’re gonna love’em!
