Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

1 package of H&GP Garden Medley Spinach Dip Mix
1 can of artichoke hearts
(drained and chopped)
8 oz. sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese
½ cup of Parmesan cheese
(grated)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
(shredded)

Mix all ingredients together in an H&GP 8x8" Berry Baker and bake on 350° for 20 minutes. Serve with crackers or serve on top of lightly toasted artisan bread. Make sure you butter your bread first so the dip won't make the toast soggy.

Caribbean Dreams

Well tonight my hostess had a Caribbean themed party; I wore a grass hula skirt, gave a short hula dance, and had loads of fun.

To earn auction money the guest brought a Caribbean recipe to give to the hostess, but my hostess does not like to cook and she gave them all to me! I can't wait to make some of the chicken dishes. They seemed mighty nasty!!

The notable party of the evening was all the sales made with online party connect ($400). Each party I set up an online link for hostess to email to out of town family and friends. Those sales are then added to her party sale total. In Nicole speak; when grandma buys that angel picture her purchase increases your free stuff. I know isn't it exciting?!

So 20% of $400 equals $80 in free product. My hostess gets $80 in free stuff and 4 half priced items! Cool beans!

Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta (hot or cold)

1 package of H&GP Sun-Dried
Tomato Dip Mix
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. water
1 Tbs. Parmesan cheese

Mix well and toss with cold or hot pasta and serve. Add Shrimp, vegetables or chicken as an alternative. Add ins options, black olives, finely minced onion, diced Italian seasoned tomatoes, or slivered toasted almonds.

Ah! Party Food!

Today I got my Perfect Mix order in. BLT dip, Cinnamon Apple dip, Sun-Dried Tomato dip, Double Chocolate Fondue, and Blueberry Sugar Cookie; four of each. The best is the Cinnamon Apple; it smells ssooo good; you just want to sit there and smell the bag, . . . . but that's just weird so I won't do that.

I am going to start posting recipes with the Perfect Mix products for my hostess to stroll through. The company sends me one a month and occasionally I use my noggin and come up with a few.

In other news I have won my first $150 award certificate from the Home & Garden Party company. Sweet! That's on top of what I already make. I am also 1/4 of the way to earning the Cabo San Lucas trip. What's so neat is that even if I don't make the trip I still will earn an extra $450 - $1,000 just for trying!

Party, Party, Party

Well have I ever been busy. I have been using a game at my parties to book additional parties. As a result I have been giving out booking gifts for my hostess left and right!

I have been working on a way to keep track of it all. I completely forgot that when using the H&GP online office there is a little section for notes by each of my hostess names. Well the light bulb finally went off yesterday and I am all caught up.

I have also created more party themes. I added a neat tea party theme which included some fun dress up ideas for guest. My best one so far is the Gourmet for Dummies theme. During the party guest get to make some simple dishes with the Perfect Mix products and so far already have three parties booked just for that theme! Man, I love it when my hostess just want to have fun. That is what makes this job so neat!!
