We hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend. Ours was relatively low key which was much welcomed after a stressful few days. While helping our mom recover from recent surgery, we tried some new recipes! One was good, and the other not too good ... but you #winsomeyoulosesome, right? We were looking for an appetizer and came across Trisha Yearwood's Charleston Cheese Dip. If you haven't tried any of Trisha's recipes, you must! Her dip was gobbled up by everyone. We had most of ingredients on hand and clean up was quick and easy. This is an appetizer we will definitely add into rotation for parties, family gatherings and holidays. We added a generous amount of cayenne pepper and served ours with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
