Artichoke Dip
All I have to say about this recipe is YUM! Everytime I make it to take to a party I always hope there will be some left over, but there never is!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups SHREDDED parmesan cheese (get the good stuff - not the powdered stuff in the can)
1 cup mayo
1 can water packed artichoke hearts ,drained & chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
4 green onions, chopped
Optional: crab or jalepenos
Mix all ingredients and put in a 7x12'' baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Serve with sturdy crackers or thin slices of french bread.

Lemon Bars
I dare you to eat just one!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (optional)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
DIRECTIONS:
Mix flour, powdered sugar & butter. Press into an ungreased 8x8x2'' pan. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Beat remaining ingredients until lite & fluffy (3 minutes). Pour over hot crust and bake an additional 25 minutes. Let cool. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar. Cut into squares & serve.
I usually double the recipe and use a 9x13'' pan.
