The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Hot Artichoke Dip

Marjie Davis

2- 14 oz. cans of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 1/2 C. mayo
1/2 C. parmesan cheese
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients.  Spread in an ungreased 9" x 11" baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes uncovered.  Serve hot or cold with chips, celery, crackers, etc.

Mommy was given this recipe by a lady named Marjie when we were stationed in Turkey.  This is a wonderful recipe to bring to get togethers.  We used to make this all the time for our "NASCAR parties" in Germany.  Sometimes we would have a big NASCAR party at our place but there wouldn't be any NASCAR race showing that day!  That's how it went with our military TV programming.  We still had tons of fun.  Uncle Jean-Luc, the Heise's, George Chapman, and the Stuits usually showed up for our parties.  Those were wonderful days! 

Mommy just made this yesterday and took it to Uncle Jean-Luc and Aunt Jill's house for our Superbowl get together.  It was still as good as we remembered it to be.  I think we will keep this recipe around!  :)

Love Always,
Mommy
