I had a party this weekend (more details soon) and I tried a new dip that everyone seemed to enjoy. Here is the recipe for everyone:

3 oz. Chopped and sautéed jalapenos
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano

Directions:
1. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, parmigiano reggiano and jalapenos in a bowl and pour into a baking dish.
2. Mix the panko breadcrumbs and parmigiano reggiano and sprinkle over the dip.
3. Bake in a 375F oven until bubbling on the sides and golden brown on top, about 10-20 minutes.

If you are not familiar with Cookies by Design, it is a great company that makes cookie bouquets and has many different cookies to choose from.

Here is a great gift or party centerpiece for a back to school party.

They also have great favors for a baby shower or bridal shower.

Right now if you go to their website you can enter to win Free cookies for a year.

Good luck….maybe someone will win cookies to share with everyone!!

It is almost time for school to start.  Where did the summer go?  Treat the kids to some of these fun treats to get ready for school.

This Wordplay Cake is easy and fun to make.

Invite your friends over for Classmate Cupcakes.

Here is a great idea for Blackboard Cupcakes and School Bus Cupcakes.

Look at this fun tray that was put together last year at My Insanity.

I have to try to make these Crayon Treats that I found on Parties by Hardie.  They are made with pretzels.

Start thinking of how you can make Back to School special.  If you have any back to school ideas, I would love to share them!
