I just love Missouri Mercantile. Here's a store that contains only Missouri-made products in the middle of a mall (The Mills). It's like stepping back into the general store in the 70s show, The Waltons. There are so many cute and yummy items in there. The owner, Bill, and his staff are always friendly and helpful, too.
We demo-ed a family recipe Artichoke Dip. This EASY recipe that is always a hit at family functions and parties is a cinch to make. This recipe is already doubled -- I at least double it and it's always gone quickly! This can be baked and kept warm in a small crock pot for parties. Here it is:
ARTICHOKE DIP
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup shredded Italian cheese (the Italian blend in a bag)
3/4 tsp Garlic Earth Italian Garlic Seasoning
2 cups light mayonnaise
2 cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained
Optional (any or all of the following): a few pinches of cayenne pepper, a couple tablespoons pimentos, a small can of rinsed and sliced black olives
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the above in a bowl. Mix well. Spread mixture into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Bake until bubbly and toasted on top, for about 30 minutes. Serve warm with crackers.
Another party idea: Spread a thin layer of mixture onto focaccia bread or Baboli pizza crust; bake, cut and serve in bite-size pieces.
