...and A New Year has begun

We started off the year doing something simple (or so I thought)... DIPS! 



  I can't speak for all of the queens, but I stew and fret every month about finding that "perfect" recipe.  You know... the one that will win the coveted CROWN!  I start off the month perusing recipe sites and pinning recipes via PINTEREST, then I start practicing.  My co-workers love it because they get to try them out and critique, (as much as my husband loves having me cook - we have decidede it's in our best interest to get it out of the house as soon as possible!)  

Well... multiple ingredients later, and a few failed attempts I did, infact, come up with the winning recipe!!! QUESO BLANCO - it was quite delish.

Apparently I didn't get a picture of Cecily's delicious Shrimp and Artichoke spread - but believe you me - it was wonderful!

Shelly is our one queen who admits she does not cook - but she does know where to BUY really good stuff!  Here is her dip recipe...

Despite the looks on their faces - we really did have a great time! 

We just finished up February with "CUCKOO for COCOA" and true to form these ladies really stepped up their game.  We had some delicous recipes -  and a few weren't even desserts!!! - Post to follow. 

"It's the Cheesiest" in March.
